Hello all I have a puzzle and who amongst has not! Well more than one actually, but they are related. My great grandparents Henry Richardson and Ann Thacker were married - according to the certificate - in the Roman Catholic Church in the District of Coventry and - again according to the certificate were - married in the Roman Catholic Church according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church by me J A A Clarkson and signed also by John Weston Registrar. This was on the thirteenth Day of April 1846. At the time of his marriage Henry was living at Town Wall in the City of Coventry and Anne in Harnall Lane in the City of Coventry. Does any one know the name of the Church please? I have also been told several times that a marriage in a Roman Catholic Chuch did not happen at this time, they were all married in C of E Churches first and then may be had their own ceremony later. Well we certainly have one here that did - does any one else have such a marriage???? Certainly the registrar was present and that made it legal. Certainly at least one partner, the Richardsons or the Thackers must have been Roman Catholic, perhaps both, but it has not come down this side of the family. Their son, Joseph, my grandfather, was married in St Andrews in Leicester. This may well be why I am having trouble finding the birth of Henry's father, John c1790 - which can be either in Brailles or Coventry according to which census is consulted. There is a RC Church in Brailles I notice. Some difficulty with William Thacker's birth and death, William was of course Ann's father. Does anyone else have the same problems please - trying to locate records that may have been Roman Catholic? Best wishes to all listers Mary Western Australia
