Right as some of you may know i am getting married nextyear in Cyprus.

As i will be getting married in a Chapel there law states that i must provide a Baptism cert.

I dont have alot of contact with my mother and my Father pastaway years ago

Anways i have been told i have been christened but i cannot find any record of this.

The church that i am ment to have had this done is/was on Westbourne road Birkenhead this no longer stands but i cant find what the name of the church was called if i can find the name i can find out if i really was christened.

Otherwise its off to church for me.

Cheers peps happy hunting.

This post confuses me. Sorry, I can't help you.

However, I do have sigs and avatars turned off yet you've taken the time to advertise your business by copying and pasting this signature into post.

It's against forum rules.

Anyway, best of luck and congratulations on your impending nuptials.

ps. How would some of us know you were getting married if you only joined today?

Is the church still standing? I mentioned that I thought this church was due for demolition a while ago in an earlier thread.

Yes it is still standing, Somebody goes in now and again, Guy dressed in a cape ,might be the odd service taken. Will find out more when my brother gets back from holiday tomorrow.

If you, or someone you know, has an account with an ancestry search site, they should be able to find the record on line. Or you could contact the Wirral records office in the Cheshire Lines building, Birkenhead (see. www.wirral.gov.uk)

According to this site:-

https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Birkenhead_St_Winifred's,_Church_of_Wales,_Cheshire

the church closed in 2003 and the baptismal records are held by
"Cheshire Record Office Reference P 326"
