Dear List My first posting to you. I am looking for information on Charles DELBANCO b 7th April 1863 in ? Chile Christened 2cnd March 1898 in St Lukes Church Liverpool m Maude Gaunt/Gant I believe they lived in a house called "The Dell " in Birkenhead. Charles was an Importer /Exporter This information is based on family memory I would love to find any further information on this family. I hope the 1901 census will help..in time ! But meanwhile if anyone could shed any light for me I would be most grateful. Is St Lukes an Anglican church ? I have the 1851 census for Bristol Somerset and Gloucestershire I am happy to do look ups for anyone. best wishes Anne ( Wiltshire ) -- Anne Rose

Hi Anne, St. Luke's C of E Church is still there in Hardman Street, Liverpool. It was bombed during World War Two so is now just a shell.
