Title: Help re baptism records in Lathom
Post by: Teely on Monday 07 August 06 22:11 BST (UK)

Some of my ancestors were born in Lathom, pre 1841. They were Catholics. Does anyone know in which church they may have been baptised and where the records can be read?

Hi Teely, welcome to Rootschat !!

If you'd care to tell us the names of your ancestors born after 1837, we will try and help you find their records.

In the meantime you might like to learn about the Catholic Church of St John in Lathom

Thanks for such a quick reply!

The people I am looking for were born before 1837. James Tyrer was born in 1807 and Mary Spencer was born a year earlier.  They were my great, great grandparents.

In that case Teely, you might try posting a query on the Lancashire Look-up Requests here, to see if anyone has access to Lathom Parish Registers.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll try that next. :)
