Ward 21 encompasses all streets from the East River west on 26th St to 6th Ave, north on 6th Ave to 40th St, and east on 40th St back to the East River. Perhaps someone can nail down the 5th ED for you. But going by the 21st Ward I narrowed down that area to possibly 3 RC churches that were in that area at that time. They were/are 1) Ch of St. Francis of Assisi, 135 West 31st St, New York, NY 10001- (212)736-8500. 2) Ch of St. Stephen & Our Lady of the Scapular, 142 East 29th St.,New York, NY 10016 - (212)683-1675 3) Ch of St. Gabriel, which was located on East 37th St., but was demolished in 1939 to make way for the Queen's Mid-town Tunnel. You can contact the Archdiocese of New York (212)371-1000, and find where those records are now kept. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
