In reply to Deborah Warrington Library do have some information on St Paul - have taken down a few notes from the baptism and burials entries for various surnames - if you would like a copy please let me know - from memory I think the information they hold in the Warrington library is limited to a small number of years. Regards Brenda (Conley)

Dear LIsters, I have recently discovered a family christening which took place at St Paul, Warrington in 1832 (BVRI 2). My efforts to locate this church in the present have proved fruitless. Does anyone have information as to what happened to St Paul and when? Where might records be found? Any reply gratefully received. Best regards, Deborah

Hello Deborah. Not all the years you asked for are covered on the BVRI2 Farnworth Prescot Marriages are covered from 1838. Warrington Marriages for the years 1820/30 not included Baptisms William Skelhorn Hill born Aug 1828, Prescot, not listed Farnworth Prescot although the year is covered. Found this Baptism in Warrington, although you would need a copy of the register for any other details. HALL, Nancy Garnett Christening Gender: Female Christening Date: 26 Aug 1832 Recorded in: Warrington, Lancashire, England Collection: St Paul Father: Richard Littler HALL Mother: Mary Don't know if this is any help, but from another source I found the following marriage, a copy of the register may give more details. Richard Littler HALL to Mary GARNETT on 15 August 1830, by banns at St Wilfrid's Grappenhall. Just spotted there is an obvious connection with the above bap and marriage, hope they are yours!

HI Pauline, Sorry.should have read, try St. Alban`s first and then St.Mary`s. Terry

Hi Pauline, Re addresses just add Warrington England after the Street names I included. I think that the B.M.D. dates Jean gave to you are the ones that are inthe Lancshire Records Office in Preston. Try St. Benedict`s first as the most likely one followed by St Mary`s. Terry

My grateful thanks to Terry ~ Jean ~ Margaret ~ Celia for all your advice and informative replies . Also thanks to Jo listowner for the Church photos. Best Wishes. Pauline. North Island NZ .

He was also in the workhouse and remained on their records until 1758 where he was listed as a spinner. William Hewett/Hewitt Christened in December 17. 1749. Warrington. William was too young for the workhouse and was sent to an uncle to live. At age 14 he was indentured to a weaver as an apprentice and at age 17 he left his master and joined the 23rd Royal Welch Fusiliers. He toured Scotland with the 23rd for six years and returned to England in 1772. He shipped to New York in 1773 and then to Boston in 1775 to put down the Rebels. He deserted in March 1775 and joined George Washington's Army as a body Guard to Washington. He served until the end of the Revolution and was awarded the Badge of Merit by Washington. I am searching for any information at all on this family. Also wondering if any one on this list is living in the Warrington Area that can assist in some look-ups. Thanks Jim Hewitt

Hello Pauline The Lancashire Record Office book 'Finding Folk' lists one Catholic Church in Warrington although there may be others:- Warrington St Alban - Bap 1774-1855. Marriages 1816-1855. Bur 1798-1854. Also listed is St Peter's Woolston, (just outside Warrington) Bap 1771-1875 I don't know if either church had a school.

Hi Pauline, The first church post reformation 1700`s? was St Alban Bewsey Street Warrington and it is still there, it also covers Sacred Heart . The next eldest is St. Mary`s Buttermarket St. then St Benedict`s Rhodes St .and Our Lady`s St Marys St. Latchford and St Oswald Padgate Lane. With the exception of St Mary`s (who`s School Closed a few years ago) they all have Junior schools, All B.M.D records are kept at the churches some of the very early records for St Alban`s are held at Preston Records Office, as Warrington used to be in Lancashire pre 1974. Good luck Terry
