[http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/descriptions/entry_page.jsp?text_id=2121510&word=NULL Liverpool] from the mid-18th century, became 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. Ecclesiastically, and for research purposes, it's important to note it is comprised of a single ancient parish but with ''numerous ''chapelries and district chapels attached to it.  


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) were created to handle the burgeoning populations. These chapelries kept church registers of baptisms, usually some burials and in only a few cases, marriages--many of which are ancient in origin.
