I've been told that Elizabeth Keen b ca 1774 was married to John Clymer at the First/German Reformed Church of Philadelphia in 1791. Is there anyone who has access to these records that could confirm this for me, and let me know if there's any other info recorded for the marriage as well, ie age, parents, etc. Additionally, if the marriage is recorded there, could someone also check for births/deaths for John, Elizabeth and any children within the first 5 years of the marriage? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you to all who have contacted me with the answer that there used to be a protestant church of St John the Evangelist in Philadelphia. David From: David Railton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 10 March 2014 12:29 To: [email protected] com ([email protected]) Subject: St John the Evangelist, Philadelphia I have just found a record of the marriage of two of my relatives at the church of St John the Evangelist in Philadelphia. The marriage was in 1887 between Ebenezer Clarke and his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Clarke. Ebenezer was a ship's carpenter. The home of both of them was Seacombe, Cheshire, England. Elizabeth had married Joseph Clarke at Liverpool, England in 1864. Joseph was also a mariner who disappeared from the records in the 1880s. It is not known if Joseph died or had deserted Elizabeth. This raises a number of questions: 1. Why did Elizabeth travel all the way from England, probably leaving her young children in the care of her sister, to marry? Ebenezer, being a mariner, could well have been there anyway. It is possible that they did not know if Joseph was still living and wanted to have a bigamous marriage away from those who might find out. The difficulty with this is that they both immediately went back to England to live openly as man and wife. 2. I understand that the Church of St John the Evangelist is Roman Catholic. Ebenezer and Elizabeth were certainly not Catholics, very definitely Protestants. Is there another Church of St John the Evangelist in Philadelphia that is Protestant. This is the main question that I am putting to the List. David Railton Cheshire England

Thank you very much Karen. I probably should have stated that that is where I found the information. I was hoping to find more information that could possibly be available in the actual record. Since the marriage was performed prior to July 1860 I realize that I won't find anything at the City Archives in Philadelphia as far as kept city records go. I'd have to look directly at church records or hoping something is in the mayor's records. Thanks again Karen for trying! It's definitely appreciated!

Where in Ascension? My (non-Catholic) father from a part Catholic family lived on Wishart Street near the El (which wasn't built yet when he lived there.) I myself grew up in Mayfair and Holmesburg where my family had a store. I live in Germantown. I think your explanation was well done and to the point.
