Which church

Hi,

Wondered if this site will assist with your research, by using the year, quarter, volume number and page from Civil Registration - Marriages  you can discover the church where the marriage took place not just the Civil Registration District.

Hi spendlove

Thank you for reminding us of this resource which has been mentioned on Rootschat previously over the years.

The Guild Of One Name Studioes launched this in 2011 with the emphasis at first on the East End of London. Over the years the database has grown but is still not complete and it might be very difficult to quantify its coverage.

If you have an enquiring mind and time on your hands, you can also use some of the data from freebmd if you also have access to the parish registers.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/district-page-reverse-map-index.html

You can look at the year, quarter, and registration district and look at the range of page numbers for that quarter. Those at the lower end of the range will always be the Anglican marriages (and in the same parish order until new parishes were added) then the last numbers are register office or registrar attended. The numbers in between but after the Anglican range will be Jewish & Quaker.

As I say, you need that type of mind and time to play with the data.

Thanks for the link Dawnsh I have the time but definitely not the right type of mind for doing this, way too many numbers for my poor old brain to process.  :-[
