Nearly all the marriage registers of St. James', from 1824 to 1831, were destroyed in the fire which occurred January 5, 1839. Only some half dozen remain, and their preservation is owing to the fact that they were entered separately on loose sheets of paper and were folded between the leaves of books which were preserved.
