Below is a comprehensive list of all the chapelries associated with the ancient parish of St Nicholas and Peter Liverpool as of 1851. By far the vast majority of the church registers '''('''of which many are now being transcribed and posted [http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/indexp.html online]''')''' for Liverpool Central Archives; a few may be available at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. Most (but not all) of these are microfilmed and available for ordering and viewing at {{FHL|349498|subject-id|disp=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 1851.

This is extremely problematic for not only Liverpool, but throughout all of Lancashire, and more frequently than thought, is the under-lying cause for unresolved and often decades-old genealogical research problems. It is therefore of imperative that <u>several</u> key reference publications and resources be used simultaneously to compile the most comprehensive and accurate list of all chapels of ease and chapelries throughout Liverpool.
