Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Hi Guys, i've found records of a few relatives who are recorded as being buried at St Nicholas' (which i'm told is now called Our Lady and St Nicholas'). I'm told that the church used several different graveyards depending on the year of the burial. Does anybody have an idea where the following 2 graves may be...

Burial: 11 Jun 1851 St Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Name: Maria Halsall
Age: 78 years
Abode: Townsend Lane West Derby
Buried by: J. F. Amos Curate
Register: Burials 1851 from the Bishop's Transcripts, Page 2, Entry 1293
Source: LDS Film 1068892

Burial: 14 May 1852 St Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Name: Mary Jones
Age: 40 years
Abode: Back Clare St.
Buried by: J. F. Amos Curate
Register: Burials 1852 from the Bishop's Transcripts, Page 2, Entry 1354

Thanks guys, any help would be great Luke

St Nicholas had one graveyard. The bodies were removed to Everton cemetery in 1885. I found this on the web.

Old maps in Liverpol give great prominence to the number of fine churches around the city. But as the centre grew, residents moved out and many churches closed. The land they stood on became valuable, although they still contained the last resting places of thousands of people. In l885, the Dock Road at St. George’s Gate was widened and bodies were removed from St. Nicholas Churchyard and reburied in Everton Cemetery.

For older Monumental inscriptions try Gibson's epitaphs for latterones contact Liverpool Record office to see if there were any made before the bodies were reinterred.

I'm sorry neither of them are listed in Gibsons Epitaphs, there may not have been a headstone.

This is great news guys, thanks for your help
