Hi List, I am hoping that someone on the List has a knowledge of the churches in the Arncliffe area of Sydney. I have been going over my Grandparents info to double check a few things. Their 1935 marriage certificate states they were married at 'The Wollongong Road Methodist Church,Arncliffe'. I have studied the street directory and cannot find a Methodist Church there anymore?. There is a Coptic Orthodox Church called St Marks at 70 Wollongong Rd Arncliffe. Has the Methodist Church that was there been given a new lease of life?. My grandmother used to say that she saw the church from the train and fell in love with it.Somehow, I don't think you can see that church from the Illawarra or East Hills Line? so I think I am missing something here?.I seem to remember a church in the triangle of land between Wollongong Rd and Forest Rd. it is not shown in my Street directory so perhaps I am having a grey moment. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance Rob Central Coast

Hello Rob, I have read your email and it Brings back memories of when I was born in Knoll ave, Arncliffe, some 70 years ago. I know there is a Coptic Ortodox church still down at the end of Wollongong Road and it is actually more to left before you go under the Railway line there. As Regards Methodist Church there was on on Wollongong road opposite the Arncliffe Park just down from the Arncliffe RSl Club. I will Check My Maps and see what i can come up with,I have collection of golden oldies in the way of Maps. Regards, John T.

Dear Rob, This page from the NSW Parliament Hansard has a direct reference to the former Methodist Church at 70 Wollongong Rd http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/hansart.nsf/V3Key/LC20031112040 For the map, go to http://www.whereis.com.au use the "show place" then "Places of worship" option just above the map box Cheers, Tony Moore (Castle Hill, NSW) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ On 13 Apr 2007 at 18:51, The Fords wrote: From: "The Fords" <rsforf@tpg.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-SYDNEY-L@rootsweb.com> Date sent: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 18:51:05 +1000 Subject: [ANS] Methodist Church Wollongong Rd Arncliffe Send reply to: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com > Hi List, > I am hoping that someone on the List has a knowledge of the churches in the Arncliffe area of Sydney.
