St Anne and Bl Dominic Roman Catholic a handsome Gothic Church, with tower and Steeple, was built in sandstone. Opened in October 1853.
The church was heavily damaged by mining subsidence.

Taken from The Churches of St Helens by J F Giblin

I would try St Helen's Library for the registers.
Good luck

St Helens Library do have the baptismal records for St Anne's Church,  it was not named St Annes  & Blessed Dominic till after the 1960's.

These documents are in the archives and you need to request that they be brought out, but they are written in Latin.

I found a lot of mine but you will need to sort out the names into English as well.

They demolished the old church due to mining subsidence and built a modern church (which by the way I hate) and they also demolished the lovely stone built grotto and replaced that in a totally different design to the original.

Because of my family connections with the original parish and the original church I do have a sliver of the the wood from Blessed Dominics coffin from when the opened it up the last time in the 1940's.
