Thank you for that Nic, brilliant.
You're on a roll now! My confidence in being able to work out where marriages took place has been slowly draining away during the course of the afternoon....
Now I will try to find out where St Albans church was/is! No idea, and I went to school in Ilford!
Hoping too that nannyj's Durrants are sorted!
Kind regards
John

I think im sorted. Was the marriage pic you found on ancestry of a Durrant or someone else? I have ancestry but couldn’t tell?

No problem.

Although I’m Essex based I’m more familiar with those parishes which follow the A13.  It was fortunate that I had finished what I was looking for this afternoon and I had time left on my account to help.

I left Essex 34 years ago and have no idea where anything is! I rely on Google maps or talk to my dad!
I have an annual sub to SEAX, as I got hooked a few years ago, and family trees are never really done are they?
Thanks to you both for your help.

Hi
Heaven help anybody who asks me for directions! My mind becomes a complete blank. Although I can at least point them in the right direction for Ilford, as it is just down the road from me. So I must have seen St Alban's church as it's in the centre there, if a bit tucked away. I'll have a good look at it next time I'm there.

Nic, no the photo was just of someone or a couple (can't remember!) who got apparently married in Hornchurch in 1916. In hindsight perhaps not a very reliable source of information as I'm not sure if it even said whereabouts in Hornchurch it was!

Love Essex, wish I had more ancestors from the county, but not many going way back.

Still looking for daisy Beatrice durrant’s marriage from my other post to Ernest savill. 1913.
He seems to die in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe now) in 1949.
In 1939 she’s a cook in Buckinghamshire and he is is Wood Green/Wanstead with their son. He is a staff officer at the inland revenue and the son is unemployed and waiting for an exam result.

Bingo. St Alban’s - obviously the home of lost people!

That's great news.
