Another approach to determining the church is to check the City Directory for the year of the marriage. An entry for the minister will often tell you what church he was associated with. The directories usually also contain a section on the churches in the area, typically found at the beginning of the directory. Buffalo City Directories have been microfilmed through 1935 and are available through any LDS Family History Center. I also agree with Chris, that the logical place to look for a Catholic marriage in Gardenville is Fourteen Holy Helpers Church. The records for this church have also been microfilmed by LDS: Microfilm of original records at Fourteen Holy Helpers Parish, Gardenville, New York. Most of text in Latin. Most volumes include index.

Floyd, You might want to contact Fourteen Holy Helpers directly. They should be able to tell you if the priest had been affiliated with their parish in the past. Here is the listing for the church on the Buffalo Diocese website (www.buffalodiocese.org): FOURTEEN HOLY HELPERS [1864] Rev. Msgr. David S. Slubecky, JCL., STL., Pastor RECTORY: 1345 Indian Church Rd., 14224-1379 PHONE: 674-2374/2375; FAX: 675-4864 Church website - http://www.fourteenholyhelpers.homestead.com/ They have a chat session available. Maybe you can pose your question there.
