Parish church of Bevington query.

Post by BarbaraW »

Hello I've just found a possible baptism in Ancestry for one of my lot. James PRITCHARD baptised May 1879, however it's from the Bishop's Transcripts and Anc doesn't say which church this is, on the download it just says "Parish of Bevington, Liverpool" which church would this be please?

Interestingly it says James was a twin but the "other one dead", we have a number of twins in my family including my dad who was an identical twin.

It would be St Alban's church, which was the parish church of Bevington. Rev F A Power, vicar.

Thank you very much Hilary and the vicar's name clinches it. :)
