Hiya James.....go to www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html (hope this link works) and click the search button...there`s over 500 records for Harker and 234 babtisms for Harker...I can`t find a William b Liverpool around 1836 with William as father...have a good look yourself and you may recognise something that I never....good luck...allan

Thanks for that Garstonite,I couldn't find my William,but I did find,the marrage of Louisa Sarah Harker,on the 19/12/1853 at St.George's Everton,She was 19,the daughter of William Harker,a Tailor,her adress was 4 Thomson St. Everton.On the IGI I found her?? christerning,24/11 1833,along with her sister Amelia Rebecca Harker at Houghton le Spring,Durham,and the wedding of William Harker to Amelia Rebecca Good,16/7/1830,at Bishopwearmouth,Durham.Still no William jnr!I know this is not enough,but it may be why I can't find either William in Lancashire!
