Thank you to all that tried to help with marriage of purcell and webb.Finally found it but not as webb but welch. Thanks to years ago for making it hard for us now, but after months found it and thats all that matters as can now order cert and plod along in my search.

 Would anyone be able to tll me were Lambeth Crosby and Wirral are and how far apart they are from each other? As i have death marriage and birth in these area's for my purcell relative.
                                                       Thank you

Hi,

Crosby is just north of Liverpool, Wirral is across the Mersey from Liverpool, Lambeth is Westminster London, unless anyone knows of another one near Liverpool.

Thanks for a quick reply. Now im in Australia would you be able to tell me in minutes or hours how far from each other there are. Is Lancashire near there

Your best bet would be to find a map.  There are plenty of them online.  Distances will look small to an Australian, but travel from Lancashire to London could take a couple of days if you're talking about pre-railway days.

The distance between Wirral and liverpool is about 7 miles. Wirral is in Cheshire, Liverpool in Lancashire. Lambeth is 180 miles away.

For distances between parishes, there is a nifty little program called parloc. You can download it at http://www.parloc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/parlocdl.html

Have a look at the county map of Genuki - very handy.

For today's maps I find www.multimap.com very handy.
