Records Office Lookup - St Oswalds RC Church - Old Swan

[BarrattFamily]

Is there some kind person that could do a look-up for me next time they are at the records office?

I am trying to find any births for my Great Grandparents Edward Barratt & Annie O'Connor. They were married at St Oswald's on 13/6/1886. Births would be from 1886 to 1898.

I would be very grateful and more than happy to do any searches in Australia for anyone. Damn I wished I lived in Liverpool.....

Thanks
Leonie

Well done Col, it shows that you can't guarantee the church they continued using, despite them remaining in the area.

The baptisms through the Liverpool History Projects site will be cheaper than obtaining the birth certificates, hopefully will give you the date of birth also.

LHP provide a copy of the original record with typed up Latin and English versions of the information. The information includes church name, child's name, date of birth, date of baptism, father's name, mother's maiden name and Godparent's name.

Thanks Col & Mary,

I have contacted the Liverpool History Projects, ordered 6 records and I am reading them in Australia within the 24 hour turnaround promised!! I actually had them within 12 hours and because I ordered more than 4 they were only £2.50 each.

A fantastic site and thanks again to everyone who helped me.

Kind regards
Leonie

LHP have been a great help to me and their databases are a really useful resource for look ups.
