Just received a marriage certificate. Marriage at St. Leonards Chapel, Parish of St. Leonard. Sussex. I've googled it but no luck. Does anyone know the area? Linda |

Just a thought. What denomination is this? What does it say under the names ie. 'according to the rites.......... etc. |

St Leonards is a big seaside town in Sussex near Hastings - if you google 1066 on line it brings up lots of links. As it says Chapel, do you think it may be a methodist church? |

As it says established church, I think it is likely to be Church of England. |

What date are we talking of, Linda? I agree the Chapel term is more used with Methodists. I note that the St Leonard's Church on the site mentioned, is a replacement. I wonder if the chapel was the previous one. |

Oh lol. I always have my sound turned down to zero, cos Ive had that happen on sites before. You actually look round the room at first, dont you! lol Glad it helped anyway. There is a brill site called 1066 on line and on Rootsweb Sussex a chap called Chris 1066 who seems to have just about every record at hand and helped me enormously - even looking up 17th century parish records. |
