Hi Keith, I was born in Bromborough, but brought up in Pensby, then later moved to Birkenhead, and so on... What I would like to establish is the number of Catholics and of Irish (first and second generation), and then compare the figures to Port Sunlight, and perhaps Bromborough Pool. I don't know if there is enough archival information to able me to do that though. As you said Keith, the best bet is probably Liverpool Record Office.
