The church is/was located on Ile-de-Montreal, Quebec, which is an island in the St Lawrence River. Verdun is an area located in the SE of the island: you should be able to find it with whatever your favourite mapping app is.

The only Presbyterian Church that I can see on the modern map is on Rue d’Eglise, and is called Montreal Chinese Presbyterian Church.

Added: it also seems to be called The United Church of Canada. This is the church at the jnctn of Rue d’Eglise and Rue Ross. Looking at street view, it has a plaque dated 1922, which doesn’t match the date of the wedding.

If I have read the original query corrctly, I think the OP is looking for info about the church itself? Perhaps the heading could have reflected that a bit better.

Thank you all very much for your help,I wanted to contact this church to see if the brother of Christie,my great grandad Alexander Stewart was a witness or best man,or was later laid to rest there,still struggling to find him,kind regards Dean

Hi Dean,

The witnesses are listed on the copy of the marriage. Sadly Alexander wasn't listed.
Have you got any details on Alexander, willing to take another look for you. Need the practice on the Canada board. 
Will have a read thru the previous thread
