How do I contact a church with no phone listings ?
7 Answers
I need to obtain a copy marriage certificate and after visiting my local register office, I can only get it from the church where we got married.The church in question does not have a listed phone number in any of the phone books.
Short of attending sunday service and speaking to the vicar directly, is there any other way of contacting him such as a religious directory?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.As The Corbyloon suggests, a letter addressed to the vicar (at the church) will probably find its way to him. (Even if, as is likely, there's no letter box, the Post Office will probably get the letter to the addressee).
However, the 'religious directory' you refer to is called Crockford's Clerical Directory. It lists all clergy for the Church of England, the Church in Wales, the Church of Ireland and the Scottish Episcopal Church. Major reference libraries may have a copy. Otherwise any vicar (of the relevant churches) will either have a copy or know how to contact someone (such as his bishop) who can look up the relevant contact details.

All births, deaths, and marriages are officially recorded at the General Register Office at St Catherine's House in London. A copy of any marriage certificate can be obtained through the website here.
