Person:William Johnson (352)

Wirral 13-03-2006, 08:07 PM Hi All As my daughter puts it, I am off "dead dude hunting" at Liverpool Central Library on Friday 17th March if anyone wants any lookups. |jumphappy Please note that the library only has church records, newspapers, etc for the city of Liverpool, not for other areas of Lancashire. For a newspaper lookup, a burial or a baptism I need the actual date as these are not indexed at the library. For a baptism I also need the name of the church. For a marriage I need the name of the church & at least the year. The full date (eg from the IGI) will make it much easier for me. The library has Church of England, Roman Catholic & some Non-Conformist records. It also has electoral registers for Liverpool, but for these an exact address is essential as they are not name indexed. If you have asked me to do a lookup at the library in the last few weeks, then I have probably made a note of it, :rolleyes: but feel free to remind me.

ElizabethS 16-03-2006, 01:49 PM Wirral I would be most appreciative, if you have the time, if you were able to check the following for me. All were christened at St Peter's Liverpool and were children of Thomas & Annes - there will be more than one family I think. The dates are of the christenings, and from the IGI Anne Blundell Johnson 17 May 1824 * Margaret Johnson 25 December 1825 Thomas Johnson 20 March 1826 Thomas Johnson 4 August 1828 Thomas Johnson 30 June 1830 Mary Johnson 10 April 1831 ** William Blundell Johnson 29 August 1833 * Ellen Johnson 23 June 1835 ** Richard Blundell Johnson 22 August 1837 * Eliza Johnson 7 January 1840 ** Sarah Johnson 28 February 1842 **

ElizabethS 16-03-2006, 01:53 PM Wirral I thought I had run out of space, so this is a continuation. The * people I am certain are my family, the ** I am fairly sure and I think one of the Thomases are as well. I don't know whether more details in the register will confirm this or not. Many thanks indeed Elizabeth

ElizabethS 18-03-2006, 02:13 AM Wirral Thank you so much for doing this, I really appreciate your assistance which is invaluble to those of us so far away(Perth in my case). I assume the address is where they were living at the time, and the occupation that of father Thomas. Again many thanks. Elizabeth
