HISTORICAL NOTE

The parish of Saint Andrew, Willesden was created out of the parish of Saint Mary, Willesden, in 1880. A permanent mission church (later used as an Infants' School) was erected in 1882, replacing an earlier iron church. The present church was consecrated in 1887 and extended, with the addition of a nave and aisles, in 1897. Saint Andrew's Church of England School opened as a "High School" in 1884; elementary schools for boys and girls were added in 1888-89. Steps towards uniting the parish with that of Saint Francis of Assisi, Willesden, began in 1976, when the incumbent of Saint Francis was appointed "priest in charge" of Saint Andrew's. The benefices were united in 1983 and the two parishes were formally joined in 1991, becoming the parish of Saint Andrew and Saint Francis of Assisi, Willesden. Records of the united parish from 1991 are listed with this series; for records of Saint Francis pre-1991, see DRO 100.

This series includes two registers for Saint John the Baptist, Dudden Hill Lane, Willesden, a mission church of Saint Andrew's which appears to have closed in the early 1950's (see DRO 99/191-192). Baptisms at Saint John the Baptist's are also entered in DRO 99/6-14. DRO 99/1-2 and DRO 99/5 include baptisms at Saint Gabriel, Walm Lane, Cricklewood, a mission church which became an independent parish in 1898.
