Can anyone help please.
I'm searching for the location All Saints Parish Church in Birmingham c1859.
The marriage certificate shows Matthew Clark married Eliza Lunt on 2 August 1859 in this church.
This couple lived in the Ladywood area of Birmingham - I've searched via Google but cannot find an All Saints Church in the Ladywood area at that time.
Perhaps the church was bombed in WW2 or disappeared through rebuilding.
Any help would be most gratefully received.
Thank you

Hi Mudlark,
All Saints Church was in Brookfields , Birmingham.
Brookfields being very near to Hockley and Ladywood.
The Church was demolished in 1973 .
Search Ted Rudge's Website - Winson Green to Brookfields-
Click on Brookfields , then Churches.
There is a photo of the Church.

Hi Bo,
Thank you so much for all this information - it will be a great help.
I will shortly check out Ted Rudge's website and also Mac Joseph's - they both sounds like great links to the Ladywood area.
All the best

Hi Bo,
Is it possible that the photograph of All Saints Church, Hockley in the first website below (hibbitt/photos), might be a shot of the far end of the same (All Saints) Church shown in the photograph in the Ted Rudge website??
http://www.hibbitt.org.uk/photos/photos_allsaintschurch.html
Birmingham City Council website Archives and Heritage Service show an All Saints Church, Hockley at the top of this list (link below).
Hockley (Google Maps) appears to be just West of the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter - this is the area I'm researching.

If you could confirm any of this I would be most gratefully.
Many thanks

Not sure if you have had an answer yet but they are one in the same church - yje photos show dufferent aspects.
All Saints was also the name for the local asylum until the 1970's.

I am most likely in the wrong place, but seeing that you are talking about churches l will just ask this question---
Looking on the marriage certificate of my gtgtgrandfather Reubon Bodfish and Sarah Holloway on December 25 1874, l see the church mentioned as the Parish Church of st Matthews or st Matthies, birmingham, in the county of Warwick. It is said that they eloped as he at least came from Todmarton, in Oxfordshireshire, and Sarah gave her age as 18, but its thought she was only 16. If anyone knows anything about the church l would love to hear from them. thanks pam

Hello - it happens my late greatgrandfather Theophilus Edward Bucknall (1851-1929) was a churchwarden of All Saints, Hockley, in the earlier part of the1900s. I don't know the precise dates. He brought a large family who filled a rented pew. There was always a major family reunion on All-Saints Day.
My grandparents married there.

hi there I am very new to all this; I am in Australia and have traced my family back to the 1850s and the best I can find was the 2 above were married as it says 1874 at All Saints church; I am curious if anybody is familiar with either of these names or people from their family history; the 2 people above are my great great great great grandfather BENJAMIN LOWE Born 1854 & his wife 1853 in Birmingham so they would have been young 20/21 but after a lot of research they ended up moving to Australia somewhere between 1874-1884 as the first child was born was 1884 from what I have found, I hope someone can assist me in finding more information about this family or something to go on for them BENJAMIN LOWE born 1854 :)
appreciate any replies!!!

Hello geromamo, welcome to Rootschat
I see that you have a duplicate post here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=685181. It is better not to repeat posts, otherwise people spend time looking for the same information. Perhaps people will reply on your own post rather than on this one.
