I`m 4 miles away...and go to Widnes every wednesday so that my wife can shop in the market....I WILL GLADLY RATHER GO TO St Lukes than shop.....just let me know......allan

   You do sound rather desperate, well Ill take pity on you,

Youll know who I am  when you read this,  Im still trying to track down the grave of two of my people namely

David Boast of Alfred Road Widnes who died on 5th July 1883 age 46 and his son Walter William Boast who died in 1891 aged 15

I have looked at Birchfield Rd and St Marys has been checked, the registrar seems to think they may be here, the only other place would be St Pauls? but not sure with the dates as David died just as it was finished. If you find it I will make a trip to visit. Im not too far away but its difficult for me to get away.

I would very much appreciate a look up if its not too difficult for you, with a view to keeping you entertained and out of the shops of course.

Some time ago I was searching for a relative buried at Farnworth. I sent a letter to the Churchwarden
Mr M Dodd,via the vicarage address,enclosing a stamped addressed envelope.
Within the week he did send a reply with the information requested.

Nothing to lose in trying this method of enquiry. However it did not work when I wrote to the Parish Church in Garston.

Hiya Geoff...if it was to St Michaels in Garston, it currently has no Vicar and hasn`t for about 8 months....I`m not sure whether a stand in is allowed to disclose Parish Records....I live in Garston, and if I can help let me know....allan
