Title: RC Church, docklands, Hull
Post by: emmsthheight on Saturday 09 January 10 00:01 GMT (UK)

Hi

My ggrandmother was born (certificate), Baker (Or Barker), St, Blanket Row, Hull.  Early 1860's.

The baptism, if there was one could conceivablybe in the Roman Catholic Church.

I know I hjave the birth certificate, but anything's possible with this family, so I'd like to try and pin down the baptism certificate and any extra information.

Could any one tell me please, what the most likely RC Church would be, and where the records are?

Also, am I right in thinking the Parish Church would be Holy Trinity Hull?

Thank you for reading.

Best wishes

Emms

Hi JaneyAnne

Thank you.  I think that confirms about the C of E Church, but my bet is on the Rc one.  I can't imagine one that far into the city. 

I spent two years in Hull, but  - naturally - I didn't find out about my ggrandmother Mary Ellen until after I moved.  I think I remember Holy trinity being a large quite elabotate church - from the outside anyway.

Thank you again :)

The Holy Trinty Church is C of E and stands in Hull City Centre in the old market place:...It's beautiful and can boast an appearance by Sir Clff Richards not long ago.i

Hi

Thank you.

That was a nice surprise after all this time!

Actually I made a mistake - it's Baker or Barker Court, not reet.

That's brilliant to know though.  I just have one great grandmother born in Hull,  so hopefully I might get a look up at the history centre without breaking the bank, now I have a very likely church.

Best wishes
