I have found from IGI a birth and baptism record for my gg grandfather (1869) No record of his birth though from southport. The info on IGI says Saint Peter Liverpool gives a mother and fathers name. Does anybody know how to view this information or does the actual record from the church hold any more info that is listed.
Thanks

Hi Julie, the local records office for Liverpool is likely to have the copies of the records, if you cannot get there, the LDS will order a microfilm of the records if you can get to an LDS centre. Depending on whether the IGI record is submitted or extracted, the information is sometmes unreliable. I have know additional comments made in the side margins of the registers that has not been recorded on submission/extraction.
Some parish records are online, but not sure about Liverpool, do a google and see what you can find.

Hi Julie

I just visited a record office to view two extracted baptism records of IGI and it gave the place the mother was from on both records which helped a lot, so I did get extra info.
