i have a marriage from this church dated 1885. The address is 14th St and 7th Ave. Does anyone know if it is still in existence? Where the records would be held if not? Many thanks Nancy Lyons

Can I make the assumption this is in New York City? Try the Google and see what you find, if you don't get any other replies. i have a marriage from this church dated 1885.

Hi Nancy. I did a little 'googling' into this church. I can't say it's the one you're looking for, but this is something you might want to explore. The NY Gen. Soc. has a brief history of the Methodist Church. It seems in 1939 the Methodist Episcopal church merged with two other churches to form the Methodist Church, now known as the United Methodist Church. http://www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=112Scroll down to 'Methodist'.Google maps show a large church located at the corner of 13th St. & 7th Ave.I know your record says '14th St', but that corner doesn't appear to haveanything that now resembles a church. The one on 13th appears to be an oldchurch (they don't build them like that anymore), and is now called theChurch of the Village. http://www.churchofthevillage.org/links.html Thischurch is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. The site has emailcontact links. I would email one of these links and ask if this might havebeen the site of the old 1880s Central Methodist Episcopal church thatyou're looking for, and ask if there are old records. Also ask, if it's notthe right one, if there is some sort of central location for old records ofthe Methodist churches (similar to our Archdiocese for RC Churches). Goodluck and let us know if you solve this.Terry Bora----- Origi! nal Message -----From: "Nancy Lyons" <nancyml@comcast.net>To: <ny-irish@rootsweb.com>Sent: Sunday, January 17, 2010 12:56 PMSubject: [NY-IRISH] Central Methodist Episcopal Church>i have a marriage from this church dated 1885.
