I have been looking for a yr or so for the marriage of James Hayes /Heyes he married a lady called Mary Ann ? Maybe in St Helens or could be Rainford....their first child was born round 1861...was my G.Grandmother Elizabeth ...born round 1873 (looking for her birth so i can send for cert ) she was born in St Helens i think she did marry there and died there.
Any help on her birth and her mum and dad would help so much,even a small bit to help me carry on....
Thanks Joanie

Joanie, have been looking on ancestry, and there are a few possibilities. Maybe need to come forward in time a bit first so we can place her. Can you please give details of Elizabeth's marriage? Just her husband's name will do to start with, any children would be a bonus too!

If I looked at the right family in1881 Elizabeth's siblings were all born St Helen's except for James b 1870/71 in Rainford.

As lancashirebmd.org.uk narrows down the district it might be worth sending for the birrth certificate of james using this site. Just follow the instructions or phone the Lancashire Certificate Service on Chain Caul Way Preston & quote the ref no.

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1871
