I have just spoken with a friend of mine who went to the a building just past Bradaurs to Sunday school lessons he used to go up stairs for lantern slide shows and the Sunday school lessons, he also said it was used for womens meetings during the latter part of the war, St georges church is a fair distancs from Brandaurs
 
I have delved back further in time and have now found it is St Edwards Parish Church
Kelly's 1939

This is the St Edwards Church I have been searching for since I joined you all! It was renamed St Georges for a while, but I have been looking for it for so long I cannot remeber the story behind the temporary name change. My great grandparents married here! Thanks!!!!!!
