Hello
I have a death of a Mary Pike 27 May 1843 aged 3 years, my question is two part the first is, at death Mary was living in Richmond Row, Glovers Court, Liverpool.
what would be the most likeliest burial ground giving her address at the time.
Secondly, Mary was Christened at St Peter Liverpool 19 April 1940, i have noticed there seems to be more than one St Peter, can anyone tell me which one it might possibly be, she was born March 1840 Spencer's Buildings Liverpool.
Thank You

Hi
Spencer's Buildings were in the Islington registration district near Cartwright Place. Cartwright Place was off Byrom Street. All that area is now Liverpool John Moores University and other residential housing.
She was probably christened at the St Peter's that was in Church Street - its about a 10 - 15 minute walk away from Byrom Street.
Richmond Row was off St Anne Street which is directly behind Byrom Street.
Will have to have a look for burial grounds....

Do you mean the christening was 1840?
St Peters was then in Church Street (Church of England).
Most of the churches had burial grounds then. The town cemeteries started later.

Lancashire opc has a burial of a Mary Pike at St Mary in St Helens, but gives the abode as Islington, Liverpool. No parents unfortunately on it but this Mary is 3 and was buried on 30 May 1843 so that could be her, buried 3 days after her death?
Any connections to St Helens in the family that you know of?

Hi All
Wow that was quick, you could be right because that's where Mary's mother came from.
it all fits together now, thank you all so much for your quick replies.
Have a quick look at my website and you will see why that's possible

Ruth, the information you have supplied is spot on, it is now making much more sense thanks to Ruth
Yes there is family connections to St Helens, Mary's mother Ellen Pike (nee Frier) came from Sutton, St Helens
