Missed this thread about Bishop Ryder's Church when it first appeared. Here's some info from British History Online about this church:

BISHOP RYDER MEMORIAL CHURCH, Birmingham (Gem St.), was a simple building of red brick and stone designed by Rickman and Hussey in the Gothic style, with a pinnacled tower containing eight bells of 1869 by Blews of Birmingham. It was built to commemorate Henry Ryder, Bishop of Lichfield (d. 1836), and was consecrated in 1838. (fn. 25) The chancel was rebuilt in 1894 by J. A. Chatwin. (fn. 26) The church was demolished in 1960. A parish was assigned out of St. Martin's in 1841, when the living, which has been in the gift of private trustees since 1838, (fn. 27) became a perpetual curacy. (fn. 28) The living became a vicarage in 1868. (fn. 29) In 1925 the parish and benefice of St. Mary, Birmingham, and in 1939 part of the parish and the benefice of St. Bartholomew, Birmingham, were united with those of Bishop Ryder. (fn. 30) Staniforth Street Mission was licensed for public worship, 1869-1907; the chapel in the Maternity Hospital has been licensed since 1922, and the chapel in the General Hospital (in the parish of St. Mary, Birmingham, until 1925) since 1921. (fn. 31)
 
There is a photo somewhere on the Forum in colour, I'm sure I have seen it.:)

Hi steve thanks I have a marriage cert for family member may Francis born 1910 & frederick Baker born1902 they married 28th march 1926, but wondered if there were any other records for them or their family.the only other info i have is May's Mother is Margaret Matilda Francis not sure of maiden name yet.her fathers name isfrederick richard francis. May's siblings are edith francis who married edward or edwin white 1939 not sure if they married at bishop ryders church to.George frederick francis & Alfred edward francis. I'm not sure if there are any records b/m/d for any of them. if anyone could find anything I'd bereally grateful. I'm having problems as I think most of them were born before the 1901 census so have a gap.:(
