==London Metropolitan Archives==
Another source for records at sea, but not part of the National Archives, is the London Metropolitan Archives which contains some overseas records, including records at sea, previously held at the Guildhall Library. These records are explained in the FamilySearch Wiki article, "British Births, Marriages and Deaths Overseas", refer [[General Register OfficeBirths, marriages and deaths at sea# External links| External links below]].
Some of these records are available on [[LDS]] microfilm <ref>LDS Microfilm catalogue entry [https://familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=268289&disp=Original+certificates+of+baptisms+and+ma%20%20&columns=*,0,0 Original certificates of baptisms and marriages of British subjects abroad, solemnized or registered at diplomatic representations]</ref>
Note, some records from the London Metropolitan Archives are available on the pay website Ancestry, but not currently (March 2014) the overseas records which include some records at sea. It is not known whether these overseas records will be digitized in the future. Also it is not known whether any of these LDS microfilms have been transcribed.
