Hi

I looked at the records for Birchley in LRO but had misread your dates & looked for baptisms in 1843 & 47. Will look for marriages next time I go if you like but they are so badly written it would help to know the actual names you are looking for and their approximate dates of birth for looking at baptisms.

Researching:
Liverpool (Cartwright, Chambers, Miller), Todmorden (Sutcliffe, Mallison), Abergavenny (Watkins, Prosser)

Hi. Birchley comes under Billinge which is on the border of St. Helens and Wigan. It may be worth googling Wigan History Shop and sending a message asking about records.

Hi Rbelle,thanks for your reply,
I tried that and got:
Birchley St.Mary's catholic church
Birchley secret chapel
but could not find anything which points me in the way of records, unless I am missing something. Must admit that I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to parish records.

Can anyone please help I am looking for the location of the records of Birchley Roman Catholic Chapel in Lancashire. It is named on two brothers marriage certs in 1843 and 1847 and I am keen to see if the two were baptised there as I am hoping to maybe find some info on their mother Margaret Callon c1791 as it looks as though they were illigitimate. thanks M
