Hi,

I have recently found the marriage of my g.g.g. grandfather Edmund Arblaster to Ann Woodhouse on the 4th November, 1811 recorded on the on line registers of St. Peter's Wolverhampton.  However, in the notes section it says it took place at St. Johns Chapel.  I cannot seem to find anything about St. John's Chapel - can anyone help please.

According to GENUKI St John's was originally a "chapel of ease" to St Peter's, though later became a separate parish. Here's the link

Hi mshrmh and Donna,

Thank you both for those very interesting links.

Both Edmund and Ann according to the census were born at Walsall Wood so I find it interesting that they should have married in St. John's Chapel, and not in the local church in their area.
