Hello Fellow Listers I have been given the following information, unsourced:- "Harry William LINCOLN (1868-1950) married Kate Maude KNAPP (1874-1957) in Dec 1896, Romford, Essex, England". I have googled and the top three links all refer to Romford Baptist Church. Other than buying a certificate how can I find out what church they married in? Yours in hope Jenny in Australia

I looked at the marriage and it shows from free BMD Harry William Lincoln m Kate Maud(e) Knapp Sept Q 1896 registration district Romford, Essex.  Are you aware that Romford is a  registration district  and not the place they were married?  If you go to free bmd and click on Romford (the district) it will show you all the parishes where they could have married. Harry William Lincoln b. 1868 Kensington, Loncon . Kate Maude Knapp b. 1874 r. Kensington, London. I looked at several census and they seem to like different places to have been born in ;-)! 1901 Census - 220 Spring Road, Ipswich, Suffolk: Harry (says b Halstead, Essex) Kate (says b. Dalston, London) Doris b. Ipswich, Suffolk. However a clue maybe  in the 1911 census (Kate says she is born in Ilford, Essex): 1911 census - 115 Henslow Road, Ipswich Suffolk Harry W Lincoln age 40 b. Rochdale Lancashire. Kate Maud age 37 b. Ilford, Essex.  Doris Maud 11, Kate Dorothy 8, Leslie Harry  all born Ipswich. Kate may have been working (or living) in Ilford, Essex when she met Harry hence they may have married there.  One of the parishes for this general area is St Margaret's Barking Essex (which I am the On line Parish Clerk) but looking at the registers they did not marry there. The other choice might be St Mary's Great Ilford, Essex, but maybe a shot in the dark. St Mary's records are not available on Essex Record Office's SEAX site.  Unless another lister comes up with better options you might end up having to purchase the marriage certificate if your need is great.

Jenny, this won't help you a great deal, but according to FreeBMD, the marriage took place in July-September quarter 1896, not December. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jenny" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2011 1:46 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: [Ess] What church in Romford > Hello Fellow Listers > > I have been given the following information, unsourced:- > > "Harry William LINCOLN (1868-1950) married Kate Maude KNAPP (1874-1957) in > Dec 1896, Romford, Essex, England".
