Hej hej,

I'm trying to find out which churches and church books cover Vester Kvarter in Kobenhavn in the 1750s, but I've not been able to find any information linked the census region with the churches in the area. Is anybody able to tell me which church books I should be checking?

Thanks,
Matt

At http://www.digdag.dk/ you find a map of all Danish administrative units from 1660 up to the present.
Zoom in on Copenhagen till you can read the street names. Place the slider below the map in the year 1750.
When you choose Geografisk > Ejerlav you can see the borders of the Copenhagen neighborhoods (kvarterer).
Choose Kirkelig > Sogn (Church divisions>Parish) to see the borders of the Copenhagen parishes.
You will find that the northern part of Vester Kvarter is Vor Frue Parish and south of Stormgade it is Sankt Nicolai Parish.
