No photo just a query in case any of you happen to have seen a photo of this church. I  have been told by a cousin researching that none exist.  I find that hard to believe as surely people had wedding photos with it in the background hence my query on this board.

It wasn't demolished until about 1940.

Thanks Harry I would appreciate that.  As I said before I did visit Stratford library last week but wasn't looking for it then.  I was following up on some baptisms and had a lot of help from two lovely ladies in the archive department. 

They helped me fnd my dads christening in St Andrews church records, the name I was looking for was Claridge, so if you know the ladies there please tell them how much I appreciated their help.

Thanks also to Kesannah who went looking for me.
After years of searching I have found an original postcard of st Gabriel, the collector charged me a fair bit but it was well worth it most of my family lived ,married and died in and around the church

i have looked at the murphy`s from the birmingham area and i can see no reason to look there,
 my family have no apparent links there,i also seem to come back to william murphy born 1844 and margaret O`gorman they both died 1895/6 i think causing the children to go there own way.the names of the children seem to fit with my josephs children,just no sure how i prove that.
