[http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/descriptions/entry_page.jsp?text_id=2121510&word=NULL Liverpool] is one of the largest township (population-wise) centres in the whole of England; by 1851, it was almost as populated as Greater London with over 2 million inhabitants. It's comprised of a parish and ''numerous ''chapelries. During the height of the Industrial Revolution, numerous additional smaller churches called chapelries or chapels of ease (a district within an ancient parish assigned to a chapel) which were created to handle the burgeoning populations. These chapelries kept church registers many of which are ancient in origin.  

Below is a comprehensive list of all the chapelries associated with the civil parish of St Nicholas Liverpool as of 1851. By far the vast majority of the probate records and church registers '''('''of which many are now transcribed and [http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/indexp.html online]''')''' for Liverpool are available at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston.
