GL Church

[Tonkin]

GL Church in Chasewater, Cornwall, 1809.

Would I be correct to say this will be the Gethsemane Lutheran Church?

- I doubt it Roy.

A Google search tells me that Gethsemane Lutheran Church was in Racine, Wisconsin, USA.
Also Grace Lutheran Church in Eugene, Oregon.

I would doubt the Lutherans were around Cornwall in 1809 although I guess it would be possible. But Chacewater was still part of Kea at that time and was not given Parish Status until 1828.

For some reason 'GL Church' seems to be ringing a bell but my brain is telling me possibly the name of a Vicar.

What reference do you have to the name/phrase?

Thanks CT.

Problem solved.

My information reads married in the GL Church, and this should have been married by GL Church.

I think someone was trying to confuse me, or maybe they were confused.

It all worked out in the end.

Sorry for the trouble.

A friend has reported to me a couple of "Clerical" misunderstandings in the 1911 census. Rt Rev Watkin Williams whose occupation is described as "Bishop Coffee Gland".

This has now been amended thanks to my friend to "Bishop C of England", and there is a further mistake where a Cleric is described as being a "Karate" in the Anglican Church instead of "Curate".......Well I've heard of the Church Militant but.....

(Watkin Williams was the Bishop of Bangor before Disestablishment.)

Good to see it is resolved Roy.
The tapping in my head kept suggesting the Vicar and your reference confirms what I was thinking.
