My grandparents were married at St. Annes Church,Dudderston, in the Parish of Aston in 1901. Does anyone know what denomination this church was. I have just found out that my mother was brought up in the catholic faith.
 
According to my 1933 year book, St Annes church was Church of England.
Hope this helps O0

... alterations were carried out and St Matthews Committee had started a day school for the
children of Duddeston, by January 1868, St Anne's Church was opened and the
School was officially named "St Anne's C of E School for Primary Children".
During the first year, 200 children were being educated at the School, those
whose parents could not pay the School Fee's, would be helped by the
Birmingham Society.

Thanks for information on St. Annes Church. Will follow up sites mentioned.
 
THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY.
ST ANNES WAS BOTH AS IN DIFFERENT AS IN TWO ENTRIES.
ONE COE ONE RC - SINCE ALL THAT.
DUDDESTON YOU CITE: MAY WELL BE BOTH CONTEMPORANEOUS - ask CARL CHINN. HE'S PAID CASH TRANSACTION. yep

Have a wedding certificate for 1898 on which the church looks like St Etwens
I have tried to look for this church (Google) as it is the first time I have seen it, but no joy.
 
St Agathas, Sparkbrook was built in 1901. Later than the wedding took place. I have looked for St Edwin, there isn't one. Nothing like St Etwens in Duddeston, there is St Oswald in Bordesley, built in 1897, and St Edward in Hockley built 1896.

These are all the Duddeston churches

St Ann built 1870
St Laurence built 1868
St Matthew built 1840

Have you tried looking on Family Search, if you are lucky it might give you the name.
 
Bit of history info on St. Anne's-Duddeston:
