I am trying to find the marriage and births of James COX and Ann WROTH c1832 (their first child was born c1833), as they lived and had their children in Clewer, Windsor, I can only presume they married in that area. The family were I believe, Catholic, I have looked in the Family History Library Catalogue and see that there is only a C of E Church has had their records filmed. Does anyone know if there was a Catholic Church in Clewer or Windsor and how do I go about accessing the records. Alternatively, like some other places and times, the Catholics married in the Church of England Church. Any suggestions? Colin.
Colin, There was not , nor is, a Catholic church in Clewer. The catholic mission in Windsor dates from 1830 and the church of St. Edward, at 44 Alma Road,Windsor, Berks SL4 3HJ was established in 1868. It is entirely possible that a marriage ca. 1832 took place in the Cof E church. However, for Catholic records you could try the (Portsmouth) Diocesan Archivist at 20, Beaumont Road, Totton, Hants , SO40 3AL Good luck Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin Liddell" <caplid@optusnet.com.au> To: <BERKSHIRE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 11:41 PM Subject: [BRK] Catholic Church Records, Windsor >I am trying to find the marriage and births of James COX and Ann WROTH >c1832 (their first child was born c1833), as they lived and had their >children in Clewer, Windsor, I can only presume they married in that area. > The family were I believe, Catholic, I have looked in the Family History > Library Catalogue and see that there is only a C of E Church has had their > records filmed. > Does anyone know if there was a Catholic Church in Clewer or Windsor and > how do I go about accessing the records. > Alternatively, like some other places and times, the Catholics married in > the Church of England Church. > > Any suggestions? > > Colin. > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > BERKSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.

Ed, Thank you for this information. I was having a look on line at an 1856 map of Berkshire which allowed me to enlarge the Windsor area and Clewer in particular and I found a Catholic Chapel right near Clewer Green where James Cox and family lived. I thought that may have been the place where they married but I have received information from Jocie on this list that James COX and Ann WROTH married in the C of E. Again my thanks for answering my query. Colin in a very wet Brisbane. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Pearce To: berkshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2010 8:50 PM Subject: Re: [BRK] Catholic Church Records, Windsor Colin, There was not , nor is, a Catholic church in Clewer.

James Cox & Ann Wroth were married in St Andrew's Church Clewer as were other Wroths. The early Parish Registers of St Andrew's Clewer have been published on CD by BerksFHS. See http://www.berksfhs.co.uk/berksfhsbooks/ParishRegistersBerksFHS%20CCE.htm Jocie I am trying to find the marriage and births of James COX and Ann WROTH c1832 (their first child was born c1833), as they lived and had their children in Clewer, Windsor, I can only presume they married in that area.
