Have a rellies marriage cert. It took place in 1859 in the parish of old swinford worcs. The writing on the cert is unreadable, the only thing I can make out is The B******church in the above parish. Where can I find out the names of the churhes in this parish?

Try googling parishmouse. I am not sure if it will help but it has quite a lot of information on Worcester. The only one I could see was St. Mary's.

There is information on Old Swinford on the Worcestershire GENUKI pages http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WOR/Oldswinford/index.html

Sure it doesn't say 'The Parish church'?

Could it say Baptist? I have an old map of Stourbridge / oldswinford and there was a Baptist Chapel in Stourbridge which would be in the Oldswinford Parish.

There is a good site for Anglican churches (current parishes) - look under 'a parish near you' on Google. It shows parish boundaries, and even if the church has not yet adopted its site, the basic details have been put on by the diocese.
