quite a few RC church registers give a wealth of detail, not only the mother's maiden name but sometimes her parents too.

If I get to the Lancs RO in the next couple of weeks I will try looking for you if you wish. The baptism records are there.

Just send me a message with the relevant details summarised

This looks like the full GRO reference for the birth safc found:-

Name: Percy Lilley
Year of Registration: 1897
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Chorlton
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8c
Page: 761

The name Patrick could have been added at baptism. He could have used the name Percival thinking that Percy was short for that and not realising that he was registered as Percy.

I think it would be worth ordering this certificate to see who the parents were before trying to find the birth in Ireland.

Most unusual to have the mother's surname on a baptism if the parents were married.

The fact that her name is recorded in full suggests to me that they were not married.

EDIT:

Having checked, I find that it's an RC church, whose procedures I'm unsure of, so perhaps they record MMN as a matter of routine. Perhaps someone with knowledge of their procedures can confirm..........or otherwise

It does seem that way, is there anyway of searching for them in ireland? northern or south, it would be ashame to just leave it at that, would love to find out more about them have been told storys lol but would love to find out more, Thankyou very much for your help.

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 16 Jan 2011 22:51

It is still possible that they came over from Ireland just after he was born. It seems likely as there is no record on Ancestry of a marriage between his parents in England.

My dad aways said he was but going of the baptism cert he was baptised within a month of being born so not sure, the baptism cert say's that he was baptised at Aloyouis church Ardwick Manchester,

KathleenBell

Is it possible they were from Ireland? With a name like Patrick it could be a possibility.

There is no record of his birth on freebmd.....or on Lancsbmd

Nor is there any record of the marriage of his parents

Thats correct and I also have his death cert but anything before this is a mystery, I have a copy of his baptism cert but that is a copy that was done in 1911 so not sure if details afe correct on it but cant find his birth the only one I have found is a couple of months later, been trying to trace his parents to see if I can find them in the 1901 census but no joy,thankyou very much for your help it is much appreciated.
