Title: help with identifiying a church from Familysearch index
Post by: asherman on Tuesday 23 February 16 15:29 GMT (UK)

I have found a marriage index record on familysearch but the place name just says Sculcoates.  I know that Sculcoates in Hull is a huge area with lots of churches.  I emailed familysearch to ask if they could identify the church but an auto reply stated that they do not give help via email, chat or phone anymore.  So I am stuck. (Ancestry and FindMyPast have the details)

Can anyone identify the church from this reference please.

"England Marriages, 1538–1973 ," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NL7L-QQC : accessed 22 February 2016), George Owen and Sarah Lowther, 12 Aug 1812; citing Sculcoates,York,England, reference ; FHL microfilm 919,438.

Thank you both.

Barry - how did find that page?  When I searched for the film number I did not find that section.

there is no comma in the film number as per your opening post

Thanks Dawn

The comma is on the original page - I just copied and pasted the citation.

I had the same problem. I noticed the comma too. What I did was I entered Sculcoates into their "Catalog" and searched for the number when I got there. All Saints and the number matched.

Another site I find very useful is:

Great for places like Hull and York where there are/were lots of churches but only for post 1837 unfortunately.

Thanks Pinetree.  I do use that website quite a lot but, as you said , it does not cover the time frame for this marriage.  My problem only came from the fact that Familysearch do not cite their sources properly - ie so anyone can easily find the original.  But that is a bug bear I have with many online records.
