Look up Baptism St.Lawrence, Birkenhead

[Miss]

I am trying to find the baptism of Patrick Brennan born Sep quarter 1867 Birkenhead, son of Patrick Brennan and Ann. I am hoping that this was at St.Lawrence Church, Beckwith Street, Birkenhead, so if anyone is able to do a look up for me that would be brilliant. Thank you

Can I suggest that you look at this post

It is preferable to know for certain the church and date where a ceremony took place when requesting a look up so that the minimum amount of time is spent by a helper out of their own research time. A baptism could have taken place many years after a birth and this could take quite a while to search for, if indeed, the church is the correct one.

Hi Mary
I appreciate what you are saying but I can't be anymore precise. I was hoping that someone would look around the time of the birth and no more.
