History
The Diocese in Europe was established in 1980 with the amalgamation of the Diocese of Gibraltar and the Bishop of London's Jurisdiction of North and Central Europe. The new Diocese, officially called the Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe, is known as the Diocese in Europe. In October 1970, on the appointment of John Satterthwaite, the office of Bishop of Gibraltar was combined with that of the Bishop of Fulham, the suffragan responsible for North and Central Europe.
From 1970 to 1980 the jurisdictions of Gibraltar and North and Central Europe remained separate, although administered by the same Bishop of "Fulham and Gibraltar" and the records relating to this period have been catalogued as part of the records of the Diocese in Europe. Also series (such as confirmation registers, Ms32690/1-6) which begin before 1970 but continue beyond 1970 have been catalogued as primarily Diocese in Europe records.
