not to my knowledge-bits and pieces may well do ,as with every area....as the result of specific studies,but there is so much for liverpool you really need to use the records office floor 4 in the central library(listed earlier in the thread)......there are Gores directories,workhouse records,school records,confirmation records,all sorts,the parish church list is massive for both codes,and the indexing is quite intricate.......imagine 60catholic churches with up to 10 reels covering their records....thats a lot of cabinets.!!

theyve got about 20 new microfiche readers -installed about a year ago-but there is going to be a big revamp of the whole place in the next 2 years anyway-millions being spent.

Alter and Helen, Very detailed info there and a lot to look into, thankyou so much. Jennifer, GG grandparents married at St Martins Liverpool in 1833.........I'm probably looking in wrong place as I wanted to discover her family, sibs and all...........but she came from Preston, so will have to look there too! Thanx all again, Jen

Was it a specific parish jen or just a general q? Jenx

The main Library floor 4 - it has some incredible detailed records-too many to put online-remember this was a city that had 2000 pubs in the 1800's. The online parish clerk resources are growing but I cant envisage them covering the main area of liverpool,not before villages are done anyway. there are 60 or more Catholic churches with seperate records alone.
