Title: Liverpool synagogues, historical
Post by: judyjay on Sunday 06 September 15 21:15 BST (UK)

I'd like to find out about synagogues in Liverpool in the late 1800s. I am researching a family who sound Jewish, the Meyerheims from Prussia but some of the children married in the Anglican Church after being baptised and at least one other married in the Catholic Church.
Are any records likely to have been deposited locally or were they kept in the synagogue.

I thought I'd probe the Rootschat brains before contacting the Liverpool Archives.

Thank you

This is a useful starting-point.

There was a substantial, non-Jewish German immigrant population in Liverpool at this period too.
