Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Is there anywhere I can look at a map for the above? Also, is there any other Church which might be used for Baptisms after 1816 I have found a Marriage in St Nicholas, then a Baptism at St. Peters in 1817. Then nothing else?

Here is a map of the Rathbone Street area with the local churches highlighted in red. Place your cursor over the church to reveal it's name:-

Who are you looking for?

I am looking for baptisms of children of Thomas France and Elizabeth France nee Jones who were married in St. Nicholas on 3rd Jan 1816 he was a servant. They were both literate.

I have found a baptism in St. Peter's on 2.4.1817 of a son Richard they are living in Rathbone Street he is still a servant. I am trying to find any other baptisms. I cannot find any other baptisms in St. Peters. I was also trying to find out what kind of residences there were in Rathbone street at that time.

If the last one is the same couple it looks as if Thomas is no longer employed as a servant. He may have been employed at Rathbone Street.

I presumed Marie had already checked St Peter's on Lancs OPC nevermind at least we got there in the end.

Thank you for your response. I did find the one in 1825 but nothing in between. I thought that as the address and occupation was different and there was such a gap it wasn't the correct one.

1821 Gore's has

Thomas France , billiard room, 6 Rathbone Street

Thank you for your help.

I am sorry but I am getting my William's and Thomas confused. I am looking for Thomas France born to William and Elizabeth France nee Jones who were married at St. Nicholas 3.1.1816. I believe Thomas was born 1826. The last child given to me is Emma born 1825. I have tried Parish records and cannot find Thomas. They alternated from William to Thomas hence the confustion.

I need his siblings also as I am working with a distant relation whose gggrandfather was one of his brothers.

Not sure I understand you! There are these

Baptisms: 21 Jun 1818 St Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, England

I get the impression Thomas and William are 2 separate people both married Elizabeths and both at some point servants. They are possibly brothers

They are listed as Francis
William 45 labourer not born in county
Elizabeth 40
Thomas 17 butcher
