Hi Everyone,

I have hit a bit of a brick wall on my tree and I would be more than happy to provide look ups for people.

I am currently subscribed to Ancestry Worldwide membership, and therefore have access to Birth, marriage and death records; military records, parish records and census records for England, Wales and also some parts of Scotland and Ireland.

Many Thanks
Steph

Hi Suzanne,

I'm sorry that is my fault I forgot to mention that the Parish records do not go up to the present day. Liverpool Catholic Baptisms and Anglican Baptisms go up to 1906. However I will be making a trip to the Liverpool Records Office on Thursday and would be more than happy to see if I could find a baptism for you. Do you have any idea which church it could be ?

Thanks

There are quite a lot of later ones on

http://www.lan-opc.org.uk

but without knowing the parish you would have to search them all in turn.

you do not have to search each parish on lan-opc - use the 'search' facility

however

no Ronald McDonald or Ronald Goodlass

If he was Ronald H it could be this one which could narrow down the search to the Kirkdale area

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1915
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
MCDONALD Ronald H Kirkdale Liverpool KIRK/184/75

hi steph,
granddad was born in 1915 in beaconsfield street west derby,he was reg by his mother and then adopted sometime within his first yr.wondered if mum or adopted parents had ever had him baptised.
granddad was born 21st feb 1915 mothers name ella mcdonald a domestic.adopted parents were Charles and May Goodlass.
if you could have a quick look when your at the records office,that would be great,i live in wales now(born smithdown rd toxteth) and work full time,find it hard to get to liverpool sometimes.x

Many Thanks Steph
