Any tips for unlocking a dead end?

Baptism 10th November 1872 - birth 1st Nov 1872
St Michael’s Liverpool
George Saunders , son of James and Eliza Saunders nee Higgins
Godparents Thomas Feeney and Elizabeth McGlynn

(Transcribed as ‘Riggins’ on Anc.)

Great find thank you!

Bit strange that on George’s birth certificate, there was no father named and Eliza was named as Higgins, but 9 days later, Eliza is named as Saunders!

Respectability for the priest?

Sorry, I might have missed this - do you have the civil birth certificate for George with mother as Eliza  Higgins?

Yes - here it is

Also a catholic burial on 23 Dec 1932 at Ford Cemetery, Elizabeth Saunderson aged 83 of 126 Smithdown Road. 

This may not be her, but Smithdown Road is again in the same general area, running along Toxteth Park Cemetery.

Might be worth a £3 punt on the death certificate?

This doesn’t give much away unfortunately…
