Hello I am new to this list. Have just been to St. Helens to get a photo of St Thomas, which I did, then found that the present church was built in 1909 to replace an earlier one, as seen on inscription on foundation stone. My wife has a family marriage there in 1848. Can anyone tell me about the earlier building? Does anyone know where I can get a picture of the earlier one? Names we are looking at in St. Helens and district are: GREENALL /GREENOUGH. BYROM /BYRON. Thanks Ray Fowler.

Found a small image from Google , hope it is the right one. Sent off list Lesley : ) -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Raymond Fowler Hello I am new to this list.
