Fiona,

As you say it is not clear what the names are.

Have a look at this page for an example of a creed register.

Many thanks Deryck!  I am now educated. 
Interestingly, I have the Swinton Industrial School admission and discharge papers for the children of the gt gt grandmother I refer to above (she must have been sick and been admitted/discharged several times before she died) and their religious affiliation blows with the wind between RC and Church. 
Lucky me, trying to figure all that out!  Fiona

Hi

My Grandmother was put in the Birkenhead Union Workhouse when she was expecting my late Mother. I am the person who was adopted.

The Creed Register is the Religious Register used at the Workhouse.

Hi Jo

Thanks for clarifying.  Have you thought of getting your grandmother's death certificate?  It may say whether she was single, married or a widow.

There are few Lucy Prices.  The most likely one I have found is on freebmd, (Cheshire BMD don't seem to have got this far with their Birkenhead death index):

Lucy Price, Sept 1926, aged 46, Birkenhead, vol. 8a, page 498

Again the age may have been guessed at if her death was registered by an official working for Birkenhead Union, but it widens the scope for finding the most likely birth certificate. 

I hope that helps

Hi Fiona

Lucy Price never married. On the good old Creed Register there is an entry of death for Lucy Price. (Wirral Archives sent me a photocopy of the appropriate entry in the post as it's too far to travel there). The entry says she died in 1926 but she was then aged 40. However, I do realise dates could have easily been mixed up for some reason or other. Thanks for you help.



Regards

Jo
