During the height of the Industrial Revolution, these numerous smaller churches called chapelries or chapels of ease and district chapels which lay within the boundaries of the ancient parish were created to handle Liverpool St Nicholas' expanding parish population. Liverpool St Nicholas' chapels of ease or chapelries--some of which are of ancient origin, each kept registers of baptisms, often some burials and in some cases, marriages. | During the height of the Industrial Revolution, these numerous smaller churches called chapelries or chapels of ease and district chapels which lay within the boundaries of the ancient parish were created to handle Liverpool St Nicholas' expanding parish population.

Below is a comprehensive list of all the chapelries associated with the ancient parish of St Nicholas and Peter Liverpool as of 1885. By far the vast majority of the original church registers '''('''of which many are now being transcribed and posted [http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/indexp.html online]''')''' are located at the Liverpool Central Archives; a few may be available at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. Most (but not all) of these are microfilmed by FamilySearch and available for ordering and viewing at {{FHL|349498|subject-id|disp=The Family History Library}} and its 4,600 satellite FamilySearch Centers worldwide. | Below is a comprehensive list of all the chapelries associated with the ancient parish of St Nicholas and Peter Liverpool as of 1885.

It is important to note that <u>''all''</u> reference guides and treatises on Lancashire's ancient parishes differ--some much more than others--in that they each contain some inaccuracies in which they do not identify, nor thoroughly list <u>''all''</u> of Liverpool's [ecclesiastical] districts and their chapelries lying within St Peter's parish boundary. This is extremely problematic for large township parishes like Liverpool, but also throughout the rest of Lancashire. This problem occurs much more frequently than normal, and is an under-lying cause for unresolved and often decades-old genealogical research problems in this county. | It is important to note that <u>''all''</u> reference guides and treatises on Lancashire's ancient parishes differ--some much more than others--in that they each contain some inaccuracies in which they do not identify, nor thoroughly list <u>''all''</u> of Liverpool's [ecclesiastical] districts and their chapelries lying within St Peter's parish boundary.
