Title: Baptism Look Up For St Helens - Patrick Connor 1883
Post by: herbsnflowers on Wednesday 16 September 09 14:11 BST (UK)

Hi

I wonder if anyone could help with a baptism look up please.

Interested in any baptism details, particularly named parents, for one PATRICK CONNOR born Apr/May/Jun 1883 in St Helens, Lancashire.

There might be a slight glitch here in that the baptism listing might have a different surname.   The baptism record might be for a PATRICK RILEY.

Any information or advice would very much appreciated.

Best wishes.

Was the family C of E or RC as Parish records are mainly in church order

Whereabouts in St Helens was he born as the various districts had their own churches

Who were his parents

Is the birth registration under Connor?  If so - why would his baptism be under Riley

Hi Carole

The baptism should be in a Catholic Church.

The mother's family may have lived around the Eccleston Street, Lyon Street area.   In or around St Thomas' Church in Westfield Street.

The birth registration is under Connor.   

Mother's name Mary Connor.

For family reason's the baptism may be under the surname RILEY.

Many thanks for your assistance.
