Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

That church was one I wanted to check for a marriage last week so it is fresh in my mind that I can confirm what Karen says above, there are no Parish Records available for St Michaels in the City, you would only get an official certificate from either St George's Hall or http://www.gro.gov.uk ____...

Hello
I would be pleased if someone would be able to look up the Marriage of Mary Ellen Hannigan and Olaf Johansen in the December Qtr of 1909 at St Michael in the City Church, Upper Pitt street, Liverpool 1.
Thank you
Pat Berry

Hello Mary Thanks for sending the Error to the Lancashire Parish Clerks site. I hadn't sent one. Do you just write to them and tell them? The Ancestry record didn't have the normal option to fix an error so I have left St Peter's Church in Lancaster and noted on my Family Tree but I will now contact...

Hello Newman0511 Thank you for your message. The record that you have found appeared on Lancashire Parish Clerks website after I had received the details of the record that "Katie" found at Liverpool Record Office on 10 June 2013. The Lancashire Parish Clerks record states the bride's name as SARAH ...

Hello Katie Thank you very much for finding the Baptisms of the Higgins Twins at St Malachy's. It was very much appreciated. Regards Pat The twin were baptised in St. Malachy's 5th April 1913 Bap 12th April 1913 James Joseph Higgins Son of James and Mary Higgins (nee Donnelly) G/Parent: Margaret Com...

Hello Seeker Thanks for your information regarding 58 Northumberland Street and surrounding area. My Grandfather was a Dock Labourer in 1911 at Mill street. In 1913 at 58a Northumberland street he was a Builder's Labourer. Then when he moved to 30 Hornby Street, Kirkdale he was a Gas Works Labourer ...

Hello Seeker 8041 Thank you for your message. I did know about the Liverpool History Projects site. I have bought certificates from it previously but it only goes up to 1900. I hadn't noticed the "Maps and Streets" section of it though. I have looked at the area around 58a Northumberland Street wher...

Hello Mary Regarding Baptisms for Twins James Joseph & Mary Higgins in 1913. Sorry but I have misunderstood your question of 5 February 2014 "How are you so certain that the baptisms were in St Patricks? there is no evidence to support this" I thought you were asking me for evidence before looking i...

Hello Mary I have now obtained the Birth Certificate for JAMES JOSEPH HIGGINS which says he was born at 4.45am on 5 April 1913 at 58a Northumberland Street, Toxteth Park. The Birth Certificate for MARY HIGGINS says she was born at 4.10am on 5 April 1913. Their parents were JAMES HIGGINS & MARY ELLEN...

Hello Mary
Further to my message yesterday I have now ordered the Birth Certificate of James J Higgins so that we can see where he was born.

Hello Shirley
No I haven't tried St Vincent de Paul but I see that is about the same distance away as St Patrick's.
Thanks
Pat

Hello Mary In reply to your message I have no concrete evidence that twins Mary & James J Higgins were baptised at St Patrick’s RC Church in Toxteth. As you didn’t find them in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Baptisms the clue came when I found that the daughter of my Grandmother Mary Ellen Higgins’s cousi...

Hello Tina I have just looked on Ancestry at the info you have found. There is another higgins family tree which is not mine. That one has the Comer & Higgins mixed up. My Higgins Family Tree I had to make "Private" as photos etc were being taken from it that didn't relate to the tree they were goin...

Hello Tina Thank you for your reply but it is probably my tree that is on Ancestry (Higgins Family Tree). The other trees have copied. I am just after the rest of the Baptisms of my Dad's family. The other one after the twins is Michael who was born on 21 April 1916. We think he may have been baptis...

Hello Mary found Baptisms for my Dad and his brother & sister at Our Lady of Mount Carmel RC Church before Xmas 2013. Baptisms for his twin brother and sister were not at Mount Carmel. Recently I have found that another family member living in Toxteth had been baptised at St Patrick's. If anyone is ...

Hello Mary Thank you very much for finding and sending me those three Baptisms. With reference to the one for Frances Higgins, the notation is of her Marriage. I knew she married Patrick Tracy in 1929. That notation now gives me the Marriage Date as 24 September 1929. I wasn't sure of Patrick Tracy'...

Hello Mary Thanks again Pat I believe the film had been misplaced and I was told later than it had been found in a completely different filing cabinet, however the Help Desk was in full swing by this time so I wasn't able to go back and look again. If there is enough time next week I could try the e...

Hello Mary
Thank you very much for looking through the films for me. I wonder where the original register would be.
I will investigate.
Regards
Pat

Don't know but if you can manage to post the details within the next hour or so I might be able to check. Hello Mary Here are the details:- Frances Higgins born 31 July 1905 Toxteth Park Patrick Higgins born 8 February 1908 Rankin Street, Toxteth Park (my Dad) Jeffrey Higgins born 15 June 1910 Toxt...

Hello Does anyone know if Liverpool Record Office holds the Baptisms for Our Lady of Mount Carmel RC Church in Dingle. The Liverpool RC Baptisms are online at Ancestry but Our Lady of Mount Carmel only appear to go up to 1905. I am after my Dad's and his brothers and sisters baptisms. I have their B...
