First of all, thank you very much to all who responded to my question re:  Holy Cross and marriage records.  I am truly grateful for all your help. I will be visiting Liverpool for a day while on a cruise of the British Isles the middle of August. ( I know, I know.  I am very blessed to be able to do this.)  We dock on a Sunday and I think the Liverpool records office is in the Central Library on William Brown St.  Would I have time to find this record, view, and print me a copy?  Do I need microfilm numbers in advance or will they help me find what I need to view.  I was just hoping to find out more info than the GRO certificate showed me.  Like where they were born in Ireland and parents names.  ....Anything more would be fabulous.  What do you suggest? ________________________________ From: Tony Marr <tony@marr77.freeserve.co.uk> To: eng-liverpool@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 12:01:32 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-LIV] Holy Cross Church marriage record Kay The Liverpool records Office have the Holy Cross records - I recently contacted them by email for details of my GG Grandfather's wedding there in 1858 - they sent me back a transcript of the entry (in Latin, I'm afraid) which gave me a couple of new leads in my research - it included the full names of the bride and groom's parents and where they were from (in my case Cork and Dublin) which isn't included on the marriage certificate, even the name of the priest. They replied within a few days, and it was free - although they do offer a paid for research service if you want more information.
