German Church in Liverpool - PRÖNNEBECK

[ainslie]

The online catalogue of archives in Liverpool Record Office has some references to the German Church, but I saw nothing about registers.
This may link you to the item which will lead to the six entries:

I had also looked at the online catalogue of the Record Office and reached the same conclusion about the lack of German Church Records.  I wonder what has happened to them? 
I have found several mentions of RÖNNEBECK in family trees online and hope to be able to make some progress. The error in the transcription would have been quite easy to make but I would still like to see the original if possible.
Thank you
Pat

The church may still have the baptism & burial records; the building is in Bedford Street South was built in the 1960s. As Lutherans, I would expect them to be in lists under "non-conformists".

The marriage registers would have been sent, like most others, to the local Register Office each quarter. I'm not sure if they keep a separate register at the church as Roman Catholics do.

Hello

I have looked in the past (mid 1990s) for records from the german church and was helped locally with transcripts of marriages etc.  However I think later the records for Liverpool were transferred to the german church in Manchester...so it might be worth trying this. Unfortunately I have no contact info....

I understood that after the church in Renshaw Street was demolished the area was redeveloped.  I always wonder what happened to any burials....assuming there were burials.

I did also receive copies of cuttings from the paper about the german church from  Liverpool Library.

Regards.

Thank you so much for the additional information.  As these are direct ancestors of my grandchildren I am really grateful to you for extracting those details.  Regarding the daughter - is the date a baptism in the German Church?
With Kind Regards
Pat

Hello phh,
As I am familiar with German church archive entries, I can tell you that the date given by Ilona must be the date of birth and not the one of baptism.

Best wishes
