Parish Register searches for the baptism of Lydia Ball

I'm searching for the baptism of Lydia Ball, probably born around 1818 / 1819 in either Marylebone or Westminster; father William. See this page which introduces the entire search.  I have therefore been searching Parish Registers in that area, particularly those that are NOT in the IGI:

 
 
 
Parish Register Searches:


St. George Hanover Square, Westminster DONE Not in IGI, (partly) close to Marylebone. Checked index for 1815 to 1821 (inclusive).  NO Lydia Ball, no Martha. [Surname Ball: 1816: 843 Ar M; 1817: 55 Fred; 1818: 876 Frans H; 1819: 369 George W; 1820: 619 John C; 1821: 298 Aug L.]



St. John the Evangelist, Westminster DONE Not in IGI. Checked baptisms index 1813 - 1824 NO Lydia Ball, NO Ball with a father named William Ball.

(mostly)
Not in IGI. Checked index Vol 18: 01/11/1815 to 19/04/18 [41: H. Ball;  242: M. Ball is Maria, daughter of George and Maria].  Could check after 19/04/18 ?
