Liverpool St Peter and St Nicholas was originally created a chapel of ease for the parish church of Walton until 1698, when it was constituted by act of Parliament, a distinct parish.  
Liverpool was a chapelry in the parish of Walton until 1698, when it was constituted a distinct parish.
 
[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.  


[https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/descriptions/entry_page.jsp?text_id=2121510&word=NULL Liverpool] from the mid-18th century, became one of England's larger township (population-wise) centres; by 1851, its population was approximately 300,000 inhabitants. Ecclesiastically, and for research purposes, it is important to note by 1900, the parish of Liverpool St Nicholas (with St Peter) possessed ''numerous'' chapelries and district chapels (about 60) 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) which 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.  


During the height of the Industrial Revolution, the erecting of Liverpool's numerous smaller churches called chapelries or chapels of ease and district chapels which lay within the boundaries of the ancient parish of St Peter and Nicholas excelerated in order to serve Liverpool's quickly expanding populations. Liverpool St Nicholas' numerous chapels of ease or chapelries--some of which are of ancient origin, each kept their own registers of baptisms, often some burials and in a few cases where permitted, marriages as well.  
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 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. These are also microfilmed and available at [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=349498&subject_disp=England%2C+Lancashire%2C+Liverpool+%2D+Church+records&first=101&last=200&columns=*,0,0 The Family History Library] and its 4,600 satellite Family History 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. 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.

It is important to note that <u>''all''</u> reference guides and treatises on Lancashire's ancient parishes differ--some much more than others--as they each contain some omissions in that they do not identify, nor thoroughly list <u>''all''</u> of Liverpool's [ecclesiastical] district chapels and chapelries (chapels of ease) lying within St Peter's ancient parish boundary. This is extremely problematic when attempting to conduct sound, and thorough genealogical research for this large township, and this must also be stated as hugely problematic throughout the rest of Lancashire. This problem occurs much more frequently than normal because Lancashire attracted massive manufacturing and industrialization growth, with the resultant population explosions. This is often the under-lying cause of decades-old genealogical research problems in this township and the county in general--going unresolved!
Also part of the civil parish of Liverpool are the following chapelries&nbsp;which formed the southern suburb of Liverpool:


To overcome this 'pitfall' it is therefore imperative that researchers use these (Lancashire and when completed--the Cheshire, and West Yorkshire) Wiki "Parish" pages, or if not, at very least you must use <u>several</u> key reference aids and resources simultaneously in order to compile the most comprehensive and thorough list of all chapels of ease and chapelries throughout Liverpool.

Return to the Liverpool St Peter and St Nicholas page.

Liverpool was a chapelry in the parish of Walton until 1698, when it was constituted a distinct parish.

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 of baptisms, usually some burials and in only a few cases, marriages--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 church registers (of which many are now transcribed and online) for Liverpool are available at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. These are also microfilmed and available at The Family History Library and its 4,600 satellite Family History Centers worldwide.  

Recognizing that all authoritative treatises on Lancashire civil parishes differ--some much more than others--in their data regarding all Liverpool [ecclesiastical] districts and townships with chapelries, of necessity several key reference publications and resources have been used to compile the following  Comprehensive List of Liverpool Parishes and all its associated chapelries:

Also part of the civil parish of Liverpool are the following chapelries which formed the southern suburb of Liverpool:

See also Walton-on-the-Hill Parish and its chapelries. 


Liverpool also had in-ordinately large Irish population, many of which were Roman Catholic. By 1831, Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of England (published 1831) identified that there were at least five Roman Catholic parishes lying within its boundaries. However, on further study, here is a list all those known Roman Catholic churches within the boundaries of the city--including ten (10) of them; the Family History Library has a few of them (see hyper-links below); there were, prior to 1900, nearly 40 Catholic parishes within Liverpool proper:

St Alban - 1807

St Anne

St Ethelburga - 1843

St Nicholas - 1813 (some burials)

St Anthony - 1804 (see also St Anthony's website for some data online)

St Peter – 1788

St Mary, Woolton – 1707 (see their website, with soon-to-be-posted data online

St Swithin - 1758

St Patrick - 1827

St Joseph - 1798

Here are related links to Roman Catholics living in the City of Liverpool area:
