Lincolnshire churches in my family history

The word church can mean two things: a building and a community of believers. Both have played a significant role in our family history.

This page is a list of all the churches connected with the Knowles family and its ancestors. The page is a work in progress, being updated whenever new information is uncovered.

Alford Wesleyan Chapel, Lincolnshire - here Edward Henry Knowles married Lucy Ann Carrott on 11 March 1901. The church was built in 1866 but has since been sold off and is now a carpet and furniture warehouse.

Toynton All Saints parish church, Lincolnshire - Francis Bogg married Elizabeth Mary Briggs here on 4 June 1861. The church is still in use today.

Withern Parish Church, Lincolnshire - William Carrott married Ann Watson here on 11 March 1861. The church, St Margaret's, closed in 1973 and is now a private house.

Churches outside of Lincolnshire

Roscoe Place Chapel, Leeds - Thomas Bogg married Sarah Rowson here on 14 September 1891.  The building remained in use until 1974, when it was replaced by Roscoe Methodist Church in nearby Francis Street.

Water Lane Methodist Church, Wilmslow, Cheshire - Vincent Edward Knowles married Florence Mary Bogg here in 1934.
