I would have thought that 'the parish church' indicates that it is C of E.

As you have probably guessed Heather, religion is not my strong point! lol I am not from very adventurous stock and most of my ancestors lived not far from where I am now. So I have not had to send for many certs as I have had easy access to the parish registers. And all of my ancestors so far have been C of E so I wouldn't know a Catholic marriage cert if it slapped me round the chops! lol The cert was signed by G W H Tayler, Curate

Jeanette, I would have thought that if it was RC it would be on the cert, dont you. And the vicar, was he signed as Father something? Well, just a thought.

I have a marriage certificate for my 2x great Grandfather and Grandmother. It says they were married in The Parish Church in the Parish of St. Mary's in the county of Hull. There were 2 St Mary's in Hull for the time (1858). I have rung the register office and they say they are unable to tell me which one it was. I am trying to find out if they were married in a Catholic or C of E church. Any ideas please? Jeanette x
