Lookup Request - Which Caernarvon Church?
« on: Wednesday 28 May 25 18:31 BST (UK) »
Short of purchasing a marriage certificate to find out, is it possible for anyone to tell me which church this couple were married in?

Details below;

Name:  Alice E K Richards
Registration Date:  Jul 1919
Registration Quarter:  Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration District:  Carnarvon
Inferred County:  Caernarvonshire
Spouse:  Joseph C Nolan
Volume Number:  11b
Page number:  913

Many thanks,

Chezney

Marriage Locator (https://one-name.org/marriage-locator/) says:

GRO Index 1919 quarter 3, volume 11b, page 913:

Sorry but we don't have any records for this marriage.


So, maybe in a chapel? Or Register Office? Or Catholic Church?

Hi, the 1911 census states she speaks English only, my guess would be the Anglican church probably St Mary, unless Joseph Nolan was Catholic. Nolan is an Irish name so it could be that this was a Registry Office wedding.

If you use the North Wales BMD you will find it was a civil marriage.

I think you will have to order the certificate .. digital is cheaper than a paper copy. The only marriage records in the Caernarvon records office for 1919 are for St. John's 1881-1970.
Maybe there is a newspaper report in Welsh newspapers, probably in the N.W. Chronicle. or Caernarvon & Denbigh although I don't think the latter goes up to 1919 https://newspapers.library.wales/.
If they had children were they still in the area when they were baptised? Same church/chapel?

I’ll search newspapers.

I’m told that sadly both of their children were born sleeping, not looked yet.

If you mean they were stillborn, the Stillbirth Registers are not online anywhere.
They can only be looked at by GRO Southport staff.

Not sure about this, but I'll post it anyway. Friday, 8th August, 1919. Report in the Herald. It's sort of readable but how I found it
