How do I find out the actualy church they were married in?
« on: Sunday 01 April 12 00:28 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I am lucky enough to be going to London for work.. and  will have  a few days to check out some places my family  born/lived/married or died in.
I can find where they lived from the census records (and lucky for google streets, can see if it is worth visiting) but with the Marriage certificates it just says eg/ the Marriage was solemnized at The Church in the Parish of Bromley, St Leonard in the county of Middlesex.   I won't have time to sit in offices going through paperwork.. is there any other way to pinpoint the church before I go?
Help!

The "parish church of Bromley St. Leonard" was St. Mary's church. Sadly it no longer exists (destroyed during WWII).

I just found this image online of where it would be today:
