1911 baptism on Ancestry, no church?

Post by daggers »

Walter Young was born in Liverpool in 1911 and on searching Ancestry I found a date of baptism (27 Nov 1911) given under 'England & Wales Christening Index', but only Liverpool given as the church or parish. Any suggestions please. There does not seem to be a matching Ancestry entry in the Liverpool CofE set.

There won't be a matching entry as Ancestry only goes up to 1905. The only birth entry fitting that baptism is

Births Dec 1911 Young Walter Mackie W.Derby 8b 756

and a marriage that seems appropriate could be

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1905
YOUNG James MACKIE Emily Kirkdale, St. Mary

Another reason not to find the entry on Ancestry, if by any chance the baptism also took place there.

There's a possible family living 6 Gilman Street, Everton in 1911,
James 26 Ships Steward White Star Line
Emily 25 5,2,2
Lilly 2
Bessie 5 months
all born Liverpool
Elizabeth Mackie, mother, 59 Widow, Whitchurch Salop
Claude Garland Visitor 28 Single Ship Steward, Bristol

Sorry about the size, was just trying things out, if it hits you in the face I can change it back to normal.

Yes, that's the one I found, but it doen't give the church!
Mary
I think your font is a bit heavy when compared with others.
Thanks for the information. You have the right Walter, but he does not fit with that James, or other Jameses in the region. His father was Hugh and mother Ellen. In 1911 she was at Boundary Street with 5 children (Walter not yet arrived) and Hugh was away, probably at sea.
I'm not sure of parishes in that area, there were lots to choose from, then.

This looks to me like an entry from the Vital Records which we all used prior to FMP and Ancestry. Could be Christ Church, Great Homer Street, or on of the Churches listed. I have tried to find the FHL number with no luck.

Nope, in fact it actually gives a list of about 25 parishes that it could be, discounting the couple of cemeteries listed - they just like to be controversial, why on earth give such information without any source??? It must have been transcribed from somewhere

Thanks for the thought, but that George Henry's mother's maiden name is wrong - Rimmer, when mine should be Mackie.
Katie
Thanks for looking.

Are you sure it should be Mackie? the only marriage I found for Young/Mackie was the one I gave above, James and Emily, whereas you said yours were Hugh and Ellen which matches the post Bert made .... or have I only just woken up and got this thread confused in my brain!

You must have been looking over my shoulder. I have spent ages looking at that family of James and Charlotte and reached the same conclusion as you. Both sets of parents were from Scotland, both had Crawford and Young in their background and are equally elusive in the Scottish census records, though I have the marriage of Hugh and Ellen.

Daisycakes
I think that any baptism recorded by Ancestry must be taken from some sort of church record, rather than an informal one at home or in hospital. As others have said, why din't Ancestry quote their source? Familysearch has not shown anything, either.

Yes, well done Mary! I will await the flutter of wings later, but that looks good.
And well done Bert, too. I had the Electoral roll details and the army service details too - rare to find so full a set, which helped to sort out a few other oddities in this awkward family.
