This is a followup to Sunday's post.
Thomas Henry Smith (1835 - 1926) and Mary Ann Tinkler (1827 - 1887) were married in the Union Episcopal Methodist Church in Washington, DC. I guessed that this was Mary Ann's church, as I had other records showing Thomas as a member of Calvary Baptist Church, along with their two children, Ida May (1867 - 1930) and Samuel Thomas (1869 - 1962) and both their spouses.
I had been searching for records from Union ME Church without luck until Sunday afternoon AFTER I made my Sunday post here!
I found christening records for Ida May and Samuel, along with christening records for Samuel's wife, Minnie Riggles (1869 - 1938). It appears that these three were christened in the Union ME Church and later were baptized in and joined Calvary Baptist Church.

Church records
Thomas Henry Smith and his family were members of Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, DC. I was able to connect via email with Paul Rosstead who was very helpful in finding and sending me copies of membership cards for several of the family members. It appears that Mary Ann Tinkler Smith may not have joined the church and perhaps instead chose to retain her membership with the church she attended before her marriage. Records indicate that she and Thomas were married at the Union Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, DC. I have not found any contact information for that church as of yet, but will continue to search.
I have been unable to figure out how to insert a pdf here, so I will just list the information from each of the cards instead.
