Is there anyone on this list that can help me? I'm trying to find out how and where to contact St. Stephens Treleigh church in Redruth. I am looking for the marriage certificate of my great grandparents. According to their obituary's, they were married at St Stephens in Redruth on Aug 10, 1868, which incidently was also his birthday. Their names are Christopher Whitford and Elizabeth Runals. In the family bible I have her name is spelled Elsibeth. His birth date was Aug 10 1847 and hers is Jan 6 1950. I have found their marriage listed on Geoff Holloway's listing of Cornish Marriages, so I do know that is the correct date and place. Any help would certainly be appreciated. I also cannot locate any info on Christopher's parents. Elizabeth's parents were Charles Runals and Elizabeth Perkins. Pat Clarke Fogel Freeport, IL USA pfogel@computerdyn.com

Hi Pat, I would suggest that the marriage certificate is obtained from the civil registration office for Redruth. I do not believe the church issues such certificates. I understand that the cost is about UK pounds eight (plus postage?). Alternatively, you can obtain a copy from the cenratalised GRO in London, for that one you will need to know the GRO ref. number. If you have problems, I could always nip down the road and order/obtain a copy. Unfortunately, I would need reimbursing the costs. Mike, Treleigh, Redruth.
