The LDS is geographically challenged on occasions, but I find it hard to believe that they would connect a chapel in Ryton with St Nicholas Parish. Ryton is not by any stretch of the imagination in St Nicholas Parish, in fact it's in a different county. As far as I can see from the IGI entry, the marriage was at St Nicholas Parish Church in Newcastle. So where does your reference to a nonconformist chapel in Ryton come from? > Was the info about Germany in the marriage lines or did Brian get it > from somewhere else? The information was supplied by the person making the inquiry and the implication at least was that it came from the marriage record.
