Part 647a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1855 Baptism and Birth Registration – GG-Grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) McCullagh – Liverpool, England

Good Day,

The next connection in my genealogy quest is JK’s great-great-grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) who married his great-great-grandfather William George McCullagh 31 December 1881 at the Mission Church of Dublin, South Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

GG-Grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) was baptized 15 October 1855 at the Parish Church of St. Peter in Liverpool. This was the same Church that her two elder siblings were also baptized.

The inserted image is of Bedford Street North in Liverpool in 2012. This was the approximate location of the Aldridge home in the early 1850s.

From the Baptism Register from the Parish Church I have captured an image of the Registration Page. My source for this document is the Parish Register as maintained at the Liverpool Record Office; 283/PET/2/43.

The following is the image –
