Hello List A recent message mentioned St Werburghs. Co-incidentally I was looking for info on St W's in the last few days, as a relation, Michael HANAGHAN was married there in 1850. Google revealed a few references to St W's Place, St W's Square etc, but not St W's chapel Can anyone tell me where it was - Birkenhead itself or nearby? Regards Bruce Interests: HANAGHAN (B'head area 1850s - 1920s), ATKIN (B'head & Liverpool 1880s - 1920s)

Bruce St. Werburgh's Chapel is now the main R.C. church in Birkenhead. It is situated on Borough Road, right opposite Central Station. My g.grandfather was married there in 1854. I notice, from the cert., that the address was given as Grange Lane. Being an R.C. marriage, the local Registrar was present.

I've always thought of St w's as being in Grange Rd (formerly Grange Lane) but of course the plot goes right through to Borough Rd.
