St Francis de Sale Parish Records

Post by **samarai49** » 15 May 2010 08:58

I am trying to track down when my great grandmother (Mary Redmond) died and I am not having much luck. Various elderly family members report her as dying anywhere between age 85 & 96 which would be between 1935 and 1946. None of the death records on FreeBMD match very well! She lived much of her later life in City Road so I can't imagine her leaving Liverpool and I expect that she would have died somewhere in that area. I do know that she was a regular attendee at St Francis De Sale in Walton and I am wondering whether her funeral might have been held there.

So, does anyone know whether the parish records for this time period are available and, if so, how to access them. I live in Australia so it is not possible for me to get to the LRO.

I would love someone to wave a magic wand over this puzzle and sort it out for me. Any clues are very gratefully received

Hi

St Francis de Sales records are at Liverpool Record Office, as far as I am aware there are no funeral registers. She could be buried at Ford Cemetery which is Roman Catholic. Freebmd is a ongoing project and they may not have transcribed the years that she died.

It is highly likely she is in Ford Cemetery as most of her family are there but from this far away is is impossible to find out. If you know anyway of searching for Ford Cemetery records, I would be very happy to know.

regards

Between 1910 & 1912 there's a John F Redmond aged 28 yrs in WDby, with him Mary aged 60 bn 1850c.

1901 83 Walton Lane Kirkdale next door but one to Baptist Church being built. (trivia!!)
Mary Redmond 49 bn Lpool widow feather & quill cleaner own account at home
Anne 25 dressmaker bn Lpl
Thomas 23 basket maker bn DUBLIN blind in 1 eye from 8 years old
James J 21 colliery invoice clerk, John F 19 genl labr both bn Kirkdale.
1891 Mary listed as 40.
Her age is consistent with birth yr 1850/1
1881 she's 30.(hubby Edward 46 mariner)
Won't list all the census until sure we have the correct Mary.

Thank you for all the work everyone has done. I finally found Mary's death recorded in Holywell in 1941 but she is not buried in Holywell so the hunt continues.

Hi Pat

What a pity you had no replies since your post last year.
Perhaps a personal message to poster may help?
