Parr St.Peter's Burial Plot

[Mark Haselden 33]

I'm trying to find the burial plots of several relatives who were interred at Parr St.Peter's but I can find no point of contact online for this type of query.  Other churches in the area either provide a list of contacts (eg Rainford) or even a query tool via the Church website (eg Winwick).

Anyone know who/how to contact the right person at St.Peter's to help with my quest?

Ratty was a great help when i was trying to do this.  Following up on his information I eventually went to the vicarage on one of my visits to St Helens.  The lady there (i presume the Vicar's wife)  allowed me to look at the old burial records plot plan and i eventually found the grave.  Good look with your quest.

[Mark Haselden 33]

Many thanks, Wanderer.  That seems an extremely obscure way to access records....but if it works, who am I to criticize?  I just wish the Parish was better organized or at least provided decent contact mechanisms. 

Perhaps Ratty will be along shortly to offer his sage advice.

Hi Mark

You can buy a CD from the Liverpool Family History Society for St Peter's Parr monumental inscriptions 1868-2006  that also details grave references. Cost as of 17/7/2019 is £6.30

Kind regards,

Hi RATTY,

Absolutely no worries.  We all get a little distrac....oooh, squirrel!  Sorry...distracted from time to time.  Glad to benefit from your expertise on this question.

I thoughtJan123's recommendation of the CD-ROM from the Liverpool and Southwest Lancs Family History Society would be perfect.  Unfortunately, the ordering process doesn't appear to be working.  I sent them a message but, as a pure volunteer organization, I expect a long wait before I hear anything (if I get any response at all).

Do you have any other ideas?

[RATTY 2,093]

Oh, that's where I got mine although it was a while ago. Are you perhaps outside of UK because there is a different route for that?

I ordered 2 CDs online yesterday with no problems whatsoever. I live in Brum, UK.

[Mark Haselden 33]

It's probably an international sales problem, then.  I did use the international sales site but the confirmation simply didn't go through.

[RATTY 2,093]

Yeah, it seemed to go alright for me for this country when I tried last night , but they do give a little disclaimer on the site to say it is staffed by a few volunteers and may be slower than normal to get a response. I'd just email them to check all is ok.

[Mark Haselden 33]

I'll give it another try next week and see if it works.  In the meantime I'll email the Society again in hopes of getting an answer.

Hi Mark.I have the CD so I have looked them up for you.there's an Alice in plot 35.Edward in 31 and a John in 514 all buried just behind the vicarage gardens in the centre ground.I assumed you were looking for the surname Haselden.

[Mark Haselden 33]

Hi Tessmop,

Yes, I am looking for a number of Haseldens.  I expected to find 2 John's and the Edward.  I need to investigate the Alive as that's an unexpected find.

I was also hoping to find a William Pountney.  His wife, Elizabeth, was another Haselden.
