A little confused

[jeffrey.bean]

I have a birth certificate from 1848 ( its my GGGGrandparents). They where married in the Parish Church In Ulverston. I've read there where two parish churchs in Ulverston at that time. One was St. Marys and th eother was Holy Trinity. Now my marriage cert only says "Parish Church of Ulverston". How can I confirm which church they married in. It looks like the person that performed the marriage was Robert Rolliston ( last name is hard to make out). If that helps.

Regards,
Jeff

I've read there where two parish churchs in Ulverston at that time. One was St. Marys and the other was Holy Trinity.I believe Holy Trinity is CofE and St.Mary's is Catholic - you might need to check GENUKi to confirm this.

Does the marriage certificate certificate say that the marriage was according to the rites and ceremonies of the established church? If so, then it means the Church of England.

Geoffers,

Yes, it does say according to the rites ans ceremonies of the established Church, after banns. I was hoping tp trace the church by he person,( would that be the vicar) who married them.

AIUI the "parish church of Ulverston" would have been St Mary (not to be confused with the RC church called St Mary of Furness). I would guess that Holy Trinity church would have identified itself as such on the marriage cert.

The parish church for Ulverston is St Mary's (C of E) built in 1111 there is also Holy Trinity (C of E), the church of the eccesiastical parish (daughter church) built in 1829-32 for the growing population.

Forgive me, 'tis many years since I lived across the bay in Cark. This is from memory so may be incorrect, but I believe Holy Trinity was a Victorian Church, now closed - It is/was just to the west of the town centre. St.Mary's CofE church is the parish church for Ulverston and there is a Catholic church of St.Mary's. Thanks for tweaking my memory, Peter.

For Jeff Bean - I'd suggest getting hold of the parish registers for Ulverston St.Mary - you should be able to do this via one of the mormon (LDS) record centres. You should hopefully find a corresponding entry to confirm the marriage took place there.

"Thanks for tweaking my memory, Peter"

Come off it. Geoffers - I wasn't trying to 'put you right', just to save Jeff some needless agonising.
