Hi, Patrick. I wondered if you’d be able to do a look up for me? Isabella Burns, died December quarter 1851. She may well not be there – not sure if she was RC. She seems to have been the first in a line of wives of Michael Burns, whose 3rd wife was my widowed great great grandmother Marcella CAULFIELD (nee CALLIGAN/COLLIGAN). Although she was a Catholic (my great grandfather was christened, and later married in Holy Cross), the couple married in Our Lady & St Nicholas. Strange. There is a Michael Burns in Adlington St in 1851, 1861 and 1871 – different wife each time. He’s still there in 1881, but on his own as a widower. I wonder if he married again!

Thanks

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

I did not find an Isabella Burns in the Liverpool RC Burial index for the year 1851.

I'll pass your email onto Bob Haliday, he does a search service for Anfield Cemetery.

Regards,

Pat

subject For Patrick Neill

Hello Patrick

I have a question re a marriage at St. Anthony’s Chapel in 1859. I have the certificate and the surprise is the location as my ancestors were Church of England.

January 24th 1859 John Fox married Ann Heyes. I looked at the microfilm at William Brown library on a recent visit to Liverpool and found a Latin addition to the entry which I can’t quite read. This marriage was to the deceased wife’s sister so would have been illegal in the C of E. (The vicar wrote ‘illegal marriage’ against the Anglican baptism of the first 2 children.)

The Latin entry seems to be explaining that reasons exist for allowing this marriage. If you can get it correctly for me I would be most grateful.

In anticipation and with thanks

Hello Pat.
Hoping you will be able to help.
I have the marriage cert for =
Robert Collins and Susannah Nicholson.
Married 25th August 1861 at St Vincent De Pauls, St James Street.
Address for both of them at that time was Simpson Street
Robert was aged 26 and Susannah 17.
I was hoping that maybe you would be able to tell me if Robert gave a former address to be entered in the church records of where he came from in Ireland.
Thank you. Sue.

Hi Marie,

If you pick one of the events and contact the Liverpool Record Office (LVRO), they may give you the full information for FREE.

I live in Bury, which is about 40 miles from the LVRO, so I am not able to do any research. You could try the Liverpool & S.W Lancs Family History Society Forum, see:

Might be a good idea if you transcribe the bible cover and sent that to me

Pat

Hi

I'm doing some family research and hope you can help me.

I have a record of a Mary Sullivan buried at Ford Cemetery on 6th June 1880.

She died on 4th June 1880 aged 36 years.

Unfortunately I don't have an address.

I would be grateful if you could find any further information and I would be more than happy to donate to a famine relief charity.

Many thanks in advance,
