Research Notes
Emmanuel Church[Media] was formed in 1842 following the destruction by fire of Saint Giles's church. It was built at a cost of £4899. It consisted of a chancel, two eastern towers, an aisleless nave with galleries and an eastern vestry. It was constructed of white brick. The church served a large population on the western edge of Camberwell parish, mostly of working-class background. The parish was united with the parish of Saint Michael and All Angels with All Souls, Camberwell in circa 1965. Emmanuel Church was closed.[13]
Copy of Daughter Ann Alice's Birth Certificate confirms parents.[14]
