Hello
My Gran told me that her Grandparents were married at St Anthony's Catholic Church, Walker, around 1900.
I think I have found their marriage certificate in 1898, and I was hoping it would show the Church name but it doesn't. It says Marriage solemnized at 'the Church in the parish of wallsend and married in the church according the the rites and ceremonies of the established Church after banns - which is very helpful!
Could they have been married in St Anthony's, or could I have the wrong certificate? I will be grateful for any info regarding this or the church.
Thank you
Claire

Hi
Thanks so much for your help. Ive spoken to my Gran about this again, it was her parents not Grandparents who were married at St Anthony's. Which will explain why the certificate I have doesn't show a Catholic Church, although I am surprised as my GGran was a very strict Catholic all her life, I would have expected her parents to have been married in a Catholic Church.
Her Grandparents were married in Wallsend were her mother grew up. I think she may have been mixed up and means St Anthony's in Church St Wallsend or Byker.
Thank you 
Claire

Hi Wendy
No, I'm afraid they don't mean anything to me - it was Walker the area in Newcastle not the name I was referring to. Sorry for any confusion, I put Walkers not Walker in the subject header by accident. I don't know the area myself.
Audrey and Helen,
I have now received the correct certificate for my GGrandparents from the GRO and it shows marriage at St Anthony's Catholic Church, Walker, in the district of Tynemouth, in the counties of Northumberland, Tynemouth and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (yes, it is squashed in a bit!)
It was in 1906. I wonder if there used to be a church there that no longer exists or if the boundary's have moved.

Hi Claire,
i only saw this post today. 10 yrs ago when i was a student i reularly helped with the mother and toddler group in Belmont church hall which belongs to the church u want. I remember spending a morning with the vicar to pick his brains foir my essay.
I live about 8 miles away. Boundary changes were very common. I wasn`t aware that the district of Tynemouth ever stretched that far but it may have done.
For some reason the name Padua rings a strong bell in my mind connected to that church.

IMP/Addition and afterthoughts,
The St Anthony`s RC church i mentioned previously is in the St Anthony`s district of Walker .. (also known as Pottery Bank locally) Newcastle upon Tyne.
Have looked in my streetmap book I cannot see a Church St in Wallsend. Have a strong feeling the confusion here is to due to boundary changes.
Tried 2 find the church in phone book to clear up the "padua" bit but so far have drawn a blank. I`ll think on this and will post if i find any more out.

Hi Slogger,
Thanks for your post, it is helpful.
My Gran also has talked about Pottery Bank. There was a pub there called the Lord Raglin Inn, she said it was still there in the 1970's put I haven't found any trace of it on the www.

Hi Claire,
after i posted last night knew i had made an error. St Anthony of Egypt church on Belmont st is as both Helen and Rob state C of E.
The Lord Raglin Inn?? ... There was a boarded up pub right down on the river below St Anthony`s/Pottery bank but i cannot remember what it was called. It was next to a hostel for homeless men.
My daughter works in Byker will get her 2 ask around.
