Hi! Rob, Well I checked my 1999 UBD and an old UBD I have and i am also not too sure of it but from my old and mature Membory i am sure it was the one opposite Arncliffe park near the RSL. I also couldn't find a Presbeterian church in the Books but i know for a fact that recent train trip from Sutherland to the city I noticed the COE church on top of the hill on Forest road which is very predominate and the Other church in Arcliffe off the bottom of Wollongong raod is still visible from the train. I did get into trouble one time when i about 5 years old and i went for a walkies down to the old Signal Box which operated the East Hills line transfer past Tempe station heading south. A kindly Police Office brought me home as I only had me Pajama's on at the time, Naughty boy I was and appropiatly dealt with by my father. I have now become a Railway Enthusiat particularly when 3801 goes past my place at Sutherland. I Digress Some hting to do with old age I am always told? John T. Brown jtbrown @ ihug.com.au Please reply on this email address. ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Fords" <rsforf@tpg.com.au> To: <aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 10:00 PM Subject: Re: [ANS] Methodist Church Wollongong Rd Arncliffe > Hi John, > Thanks for your reply.I lived in the Hurstville area for decades > and never bothered to go to the church to have a look and record it.Now I am > regretting not paying more attention.

Hi there. Wondering if anyone has any information on the location of this church St. Luke's and anyone available or an address to write to, to check on a marriage that took place there in June or July 1896 between John Grant or Ganderton and Florence May VANNAN. They aren't in the NSW BDM index and were either left out by accident or just never meant to be entered. Any help in finding these records from this church would be great. Kind Regards, Jim
