All Saints Church, Liverpool

Post by **foolmarks** » 16 Jan 2011 12:52

Hi,

I'm looking for some info regarding a marriage (Harvey-Dempsey) which took place at All Saints, Liverpool in 1858.

I've found several churches in Liverpool that have (or had) that name - can anyone tell me which ones existed in December 1858?

My best guess is the one that was in Great Nelson Street, but my ancestors were almost certainly RC and I don't think that All Saints was an RC church.

Which parish would All Saints have been in?

Hi,
I know this doesn't answer your specific question but this is the GRO reference for that marriage should you decide to get a copy of the marriage certificate.

Marriages Dec qtr 1858:
Dempsey, Bridget and Harvey, Robert - Liverpool - 8b - 132.

It wasn't unusual for Catholics to marry in Church of England Churches at that time. They didn't have to pay as much as they would have if they got married in a Catholic.

It could have been All Saints Great Nelson Street.

All Saints Great Nelson Street was a C of E church. Can you tell us where your ancestors were living in the 1851/1861 censuses?

I had a look in the 1860 directory and the only All Saints church listed was the one in Great Nelson Street.

If it says All Saints Liverpool then as Jan says it will be All Saints Great Nelson Street Ref 283 Als

All Saints in Speke Will have a West Derby Registration and the registers for this Church start at 1876

I have Irish RCs marrying in the C of E and baptising the children as RC it was quite common to use C of E for marriages.

All Saints Speke dates from only 1876, so too young for this marriage.

There is All Saints, Childwall of course, but that would depend on where they were living as otherwise it might be too far out.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

The address given on the marriage certificates were Cazneau Street - Google maps show Cazneau Street and Great Nelson Street as being near to each other, assuming that the current road positions were the same as they are today then I guess the church I'm afer is All Saints, Great Nelson Street.

My Atkinson Great Grandparents were married at this church in 1899 and the address they gave was Beau Street nearby so it's the right one. Here is a map from 1906 showing the location of the church:-

Just found this thread and wanted to ask if there is a photograph of the church, nothing on Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk Projects.

Is it the usual request to the record office. I'm getting quite a list together, they'll be fed up of me

My gt uncle got married there in 1891, they gave their address as Gt Homer Street.

This search has been raised before on another forum - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.ph ... 820.0.html seemingly unsuccessfully.

I think the last resort is the LRO, fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Mary. Just read that thread on the other forum, doesn't look very hopeful does it

Wish we could go back in time with our cameras,it would be such fun

Liverpool have a colletion of photographs under 352 HOU These were taken in the 1960s. They are recorded under street names. The church may show up on the ones they may have for Great Nelson Street.

There's an engraving of All Saints Church in 1852 on the GENUKI site:
