Swinton, Lancs - Methodists - confused
« on: Saturday 18 July 09 12:46 UTC (UK) »
Got a 1933 marriage certificate stating marriage took place at Unitarian Chapel, Granville St, Swinton
but when I try and locate it or research it I keep getting sent to a Methodist Chapel that was located on Swinton Hall Road (aka Jane Lane) Swinton.

Am I missing something crucial - very confused!?!

Huh Undecided

thank you

Plimmerian.

I did a search and came up with this: http://legacy.thisislancashire.co.uk/lancashire/bolton/info/churches.html, there are contact details for the Unitarian Ministers/Churches on this link!

Hi,

I rather think think the Unitarian Chapel was on the corner of Jane Lane (Swinton Hall Road) and Granville Street. 
See:
http://www.genuki.org.uk:8080/big/eng/LAN/Swinton/
and scroll down to Churches.  The marker for the church indicates that it was the exact location against "somewhere around there"

Regards,
Mo

thanks for those!

I'm sure that area is now a shopping complex / car park!!!

I'll have to go back and check it out sometime.

best wishes,

Ian.

hi again

a friend took me out for a spin and went via Swinton - finally found the road called Granville St which does run off Swinton Hall Road and leads to a car park / shopping centre complex n flats.

No chapel and no graveyard!!!

Very disappointed.

Sad
