Part 648a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1860 and 1861 Baptism and Birth Registration – GG-Grandaunt Maria Aldridge – Liverpool, England

Good Day,

And the search goes on. The genealogy of the Aldridge Family continues with the fourth and youngest daughter, JK’s gg-grandaunt Maria Aldridge.

The location of abode for the Aldridge Family changed from Bedford Street North to Waterloo, both in Liverpool. GG-Grandaunt Maria was baptized, as were her three elder siblings at St. Peter’s Church. The above inserted image is an 1880 image of St. Peter’s.

To date the only record I have discovered of gg-grandaunt Maria is that of her Baptism Registration entered into the Parish Register and kept at the Liverpool Records Office. The reference number is 283/Pet/2/50. The date of the Baptism is 8 July 1861 and the noted Birth date is 5 March 1860.

Here is the image.

And my transcription –
