Bill@fslife · 24-10-2008, 06:08 AM

Hi all I found a recent copy of the Liverpool Echo dated the 4th October 08. Looking through the pages I came upon the Echo Origins -discovering your family History page.

The article's title - The Religious divide can halt search.

The article is quite lengthy, but interesting. But just to give you a flavor the Author (Martin Rigby) discusses the problems of searching church records specifically the parish registers before 1837: These records cover marriages and baptisms in the Church of England, but what if they were Roman Catholics, Non-Conformists, Quakers, Baptist, Methodists and Congregationalists.

Some of the sites are (pay per view) some of you may have already had site of them, however, here is the list

www.bmdregisters.co.uk/
www.a2a.org.uk/
www.catholic-history.org.uk/cfhs/
www.familysearch.org
Once on the above site click on the Liverpool &SW Lancs family history Society site.

Other sites:
www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/lprs

There are a couple of other websites mentioned in the article, however I had some difficulties accessing them.
But you may want to try them yourselves.

www.quaker.org.uk
http://archive.liverpool.gov.uk/
www.liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/home.htm

I hope the above sites will be of use to you all?
