our lady's rc church, celeveland st birkenhead
« on: Friday 01 May 09 20:01 UTC (UK) »
am trying to find out about the history of the church, I believe my mothers husband helped save the live of the parish priest during the blitz in Birkenhead, but sadly my mother is no longer with us so I can't find out any info re Birkenhead during the blitz. I googled and came up with an out of stock book on amazon so any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Not sure if it's the same one, but:-

During the Blitz of 1941 May 1st-4th Church of Our Lady, Price Street received a direct hit. Canon Tallon killed.

Taken from "Birkenhead at War 1939-45".
