Completed The Sorrowful Hearts of Jesus & Mary, Kensington - any information?

[Daniels-mum]

Hello,

I have disovered that my husband's great-grandparents were married at The Sorrowful Hearts of Jesus & Mary (Catholic Church) in Kensington in 1892. I wondered if anyone knows anything about the church or where it was/is situated. I've done a quick internet search but didn't find anything. It also doesn't appear in a list of Victorian London churches which I checked, so maybe it changed its name?

Many thanks.

I can't see any reference to this church either.  Have you got the name from the marriage certificate?

Hi,

Yes I have the marriage certificate. The marriage was on 27 July 1892, Francis Patrick Hopkins and Bridget Mary Brophy married in the Church of the Sorrowful Hearts of Jesus & Mary in the district of Kensington.

What addresses do Francis and Bridget give on the cert?

[Daniels-mum]

Hi,

The address for Francis is 282 Liverpool Road (no district) and the address for Bridget is Kenmere Lodge, Munster Road (?? I think - have also checked 1891 census and it's not that clear there either), Fulham.

I think it's been re-dedicated

Helen, I wonder if you can help. I have tried clicking on this link with no luck. My Great Grandparents Also married in 1887 in Sorrowful Hearts of Jesus and Mary and like you I had been looking for some time. They were living in Slaidburn Street at the time. Julie
