Introducción
Las epidemias de cólera y fiebre amarilla en Buenos Aires de 1867 y 1871 y las condiciones insalubres de la ciudad impulsaron la migración de la población hacia los alrededores. Los ferrocarriles, el Ferrocarril Oeste y el Ferrocarril Sur, que para ese entonces ya comenzaban a funcionar, facilitaron este movimiento a San José de Flores hacia el oeste y Barracas y Lomas de Zamora hacia el sur.

Los registros de bautismo de la Iglesia Anglicana de St John demuestran que dentro de las primeras familias británicas que se mudaron a estos barrios se encontraban las familias de Henry Darbyshire(1868) y Frederick Neild (1871) en Flores, y de Wilson Jacobs (1869) en Lomas de Zamora.

Tal fue el crecimiento del número de familias británicas que se radicaron en estos lugares que en 1872 se creó una iglesia anglicana en Lomas de Zamora. La congregación de St John's también decidió crear una misión en San José de Flores en 1879, y el Obispo Stirling nombró capellán al Rvdo. Joseph H. Gybbon-Spilsbury (1879-1886). Durante los primeros años el capellán se ocupó principalmente de visitar a las familias anglicanas dispersas por la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Posteriormente él y sus sucesores se ocuparon de las familias residentes en la parroquia como también las del campo.

Descripciones de las epidemias de cólera y fiebre amarilla se pueden encontrar en la página de web de Graeme Wall.

Introduction
The cholera and yellow fever outbreaks in Buenos Aires of 1867 to 1871 caused a great outflow of the population to the surrounding districts. The railways were by then beginning to function out of Buenos Aires, the Western and Southern Railways giving people much greater freedom to live away from the disease-ridden city centre. The result was the growth of San José de Flores to the west and Barracas and Lomas de Zamora to the south.

Among the first of the English population to move out were the families of Henry Darbyshire (1868) and Frederick Neild (1871) to Flores, and of Wilson Jacobs to Lomas de Zamora (1869), as evidenced by the baptism records at St John's Anglican Church.

Such was the growth of the population in these new districts that English people living locally established an Anglican church in Lomas de Zamora in 1872. The St John's congregation also decided to establish a mission church in Flores in 1879, Bishop Stirling appointing the Revd Joseph H. Gybbon-Spilsbury as chaplain (1879-1886). In the first two years, the chaplain's duties mostly were taken up in visiting Anglican families scattered across the Province of Buenos Aires. Subsequently he and his successors combined both parish and camp duties.
