London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) have announced an exciting new digitisation programme in partnership with Ancestry.com. It is anticipated that the full digitisation and indexing program will include:
- Parish baptisms, marriages and burials
Bishops transcripts
Parish poor law records
Boards of Guardians records
Diocesan marriage bonds and allegations
Non-conformist baptisms, marriages and burials
School admission and discharge registers
Electoral registers, overseers returns and poll books
Land tax records
Wills
City of London Freedoms
Middlesex Sessions – Transportation Contracts
Consistory Court of London Matrimonial and Testamentary Papers
The first records will launch on Ancestry.co.uk in early 2009. Meanwhile the genealogists out there can visit the State Library to explore the many other databases available on Ancestry.com (library edition). This great resource is free to use within the State Library building.

I too have been trying to find out if there are dates available.
I would also like to know if Ancestry will be charging addtional fees or if existing subscribers will be able to access the detail within their current membership price.
Does anyone know?
