Was there religious intolerance in 1800 in Hannover?
Specifically, my g-g grandmother was Roman Catholic and my g-g grandfather was Lutheran. They married in the Lutheran Marktkirche in Goslar. Would this have created a problem for them?
More details in:
My grandfather was Lutheran and my grandmother Roman Catholic. They were married in Hannover in 1907 and practiced the Catholic Faith. However the obituary of both only say they were married in Hannover April, 1907 but I cannot find a marriage license to confirm the information. I have checked with several Catholic churches but should there not be records in both faiths of where he changed and where to marriage took place. Any assistance on how to further my reseach would be greatly appreciated.

My second generation Americans of Hannoverian descent were
still highly intolerant of RCs in the 1920s-1950s, as are many in
the fourth and fifth generations still intolerant today!
Until 1960s in many areas of the US, a Catholic marrying a person of another faith could not marry inside a Catholic church but only in the priests' rectory. The ceremony was performed but it was not considered a Sacrament for both. It may not have been entered in the Church's Sacramental Register (the record book) at the discretion of the marrying priest. He would or should have signed and returned the civil marriage record, however. Sometimes records are lost. My grandfather was the middle of five children born in the same house. The other four had birth certificates recorded in a timely manner. He did not. One must suspect it was lost somewhere. Things like that happen.

Would there not be civil records? Or are they not given free yet? In
Holland couples have to marry civily first before they are married in the
church, that is mostly done the same day but not always, it is not like a
mariage license, which may or maynot be finialized, they are legally
married. In Holland it is 75 years before that is given free but understand
that in Germany it is 100 years maybe you just have to wait a few years for
it to be available. Anna Marie
Dear Anna,
My mom catholic.
My dad supposedly lutheran... I say supposedly because I don't recall his attending lutheran or catholic services.
I don't recall dad's father attending services either.
G-Pops was buried memorial park cemetery , STL, MO.
As I understand catholics marrying outside the faith circa late 1950's, 1960's ... in order to have church wedding had to vow to raise the children catholic.
I'm certain my dad didn't switch faith. He left the church training to my mom.
I think dad's father did also.
I believe that dad and Pop's were of the thinking that
Church-going was woman thing...
Up to the women in the family to create home life for offspring.....and one of those wifely jobs was religious teaching.
Dad's brother married a catholic also.
I think Pop's mom may have been catholic.
Pop's I believe was baptised into the Lutheran Church.
Pop's as I remember..wasn't big on Catholicism.
I remember selling x-mas seals....and getting enough to earn a plastic statue of the Virgin Mary....and giving it to Pop's in hope he would come to church with me...and I remember his thinking me for the statue...and saying something about go to church with your mom...
And I have stories about Mass...and being old enough to walk to Mass with my kid-brother & sisters...
And my kid-brother, one kid-sister, behaving so badly at Mass... The Priest...Father Gellner? Goellner?? actually pausing during homily, looking directly over at my siblings...
He said something like..
During Mass...Attention should be focused on Christ. Who is in charge of the children sitting there? And where is your mother?
Dawned on me why mom allowed me to take charge and escort my siblings to Mass...
Learned something that day....
Just beause some of my friends took siblings to Mass without parents...didn't mean that I should....
Warmest,
Barbie-Lew
Unlike your situation my g-father attend the Catholic church faithfully. Even frowned upon you if you tried to get out of going. I just cannot find his records in doing such. At this birth his parents were Lutheran and at the birth of my father, his son, it states that both parents are of the Catholic fiath. So the search is on.
Thank you for your stories. There are very interesting and I apprecaite the interest.
Anna
