I have a marriage on the Pallots Marriage Index between Isaac Lemmon and Ann Butler from 1786 at St George in the Borough - does anyone know if this is the same a St George, Southwark - as I've googled this and it appears to be Roman Catholic - so I can't figure out how a Catholic church is on Pallots (I thought this was only Church of England), Zoe, xx

Might be worth trying the thread-search. I think this has been discussed already. Christine

There is a St Georges in Bethnal Green but that is in east london.

St George's Church is on Borough High Street, it is not the same as St George's Cathederal.

brilliant - cheers all can't figure out why a coupel of Eastenders are getting married in Southwark - but it takes all sorts ;o)) Z xx

St. George the Martyr on Borough Road in Southwark isn't Roman Catholic or Presbyterian. My grandad was baptised there and it's Church of England. Kath. x

oooh Carol - don't go telling me I'm from Presbyterian stock - my mother can just about cope with two centureis of Eastend roots - the Catholic part of will be disowning me now

Well, Southwark is loosely classed as East Ender type land - though his South-east ender - they would have had a quick walk to get their from the other side of the river, or run through the tunnel! OR possibly at that early date pre tunnel time, paid one of my watermen ancestors to row them over!

Heather don't fancy THAT much. this is one wedding I'll not be re-enacting should I ever get the chance - getting in a boat in my lovely white frock!! or going through the tunnel! Although judging by their childrens birthdates I doubt she had much call for wearing white anyway ;o) Z x

Well, they didnt get dressed up then did they, unless they were very rich - and I doubt if your mob were if they were wandering between the East End and Southwark! I reckon a lot of them just popped in and then went back to work.

Gwen, Bethnal Green isn't in the east of London, I live here

Zoe, I think you know me from another forum. Seems you and I have a lot in common. Not only do I have Norfolk Roots but I come from the East End of London - born in Stepney (East End Maternity Hospital on the Commercial Road) but lived in Poplar for the first 18 years of my life. Cheers, Horatia
