Parish

[whimsical]

Hello.  My gr. grandfather was married in Emmanuel Church Camberwell.  In 1874.  There is no address for him on the certificate, just the church name. If I could find an address maybe I could pin him down easier. Help!!

This might help, gained with a bit of hopeful searching. For once genuki didn't deliver the goods!

Emmanuel Church was formed in 1842 following the destruction by fire of Saint Giles's church. It was built at a cost of £4899. It consisted of a chancel, two eastern towers, an aisleless nave with galleries and an eastern vestry. It was constructed of white brick. The church served a large population on the western edge of Camberwell parish, mostly of working-class background. The parish was united with the parish of Saint Michael and All Angels with All Souls, Camberwell in circa 1965. Emmanuel Church was closed.

Content Scope and content/abstract:
Records of the parish of Emmanuel, Camberwell, including registers of baptisms, marriages, confirmations and church services; cash book; inventory; Parochial Church Council minutes and parish magazines.

have you checked the census either side of his marrage date, hopefully instead of "full age" his age might well appear on his marriage cert to narrow down the search on the census, quite often an address wasn't on marriage certificates, would have made things so much easier if they had been

Hi

Your other post indicates you have found him in 1881 and 1891 http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,585842.msg4370928.html#msg4370928

are you looking for him before his marriage

So it would be a good idea to look up the parishes that the church was serving at that time?   Sorry I am not to good at this detective work.  I always need help!
