St Peters Parish Church was in Church Street, where Woolworths used to be followed by the huge HMV stores and now where the entrance to Liverpool One arcades are. there is a memorial plaque in the pavement.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Robert Wilson, KILLED in December 1898 in Haydock, Warrington
« on: Saturday 16 May 09 19:43 BST (UK) »
Haydock BMD's are St Helens/ Lancashire based. As I live in the ****** place I think I should know where Haydock is. The whole St Helens area has a Warrington Post Code because that is where our post is generated for delivery. but we are not in Warrington.
The copy of the inquest as published in the local papers is available from St Helens Local History Library This Disaster took place in 1878 not in 1898. so you need to look for a separate incident.
There are books available with the full history of that disaster including all the names, the amount of money collect and allocated to each family.
One Book is Weep Mothers Weep and then there is The Wood Pit Disaster.

Haydock is not in Warrington. Haydock is an area of St Helens which most certainly is not in Warrington either.
There is a book about the Wood Pit Disaster. don't know whether its out of print though.
This is a list and details of the men killed in that disaster.
This site won't let me post the link it is not in breach of copyright. Sorry

Lancashire / Re: Weaste Cemetery
« on: Tuesday 14 April 09 13:15 BST (UK) »
Stone curbs around the graves are being removed everywhere so as to make mowing the grass more easy and safely done.
Where the gravestones are loose or where no one is now responsible for the upkeep of those stones they are being removed for Health & Safety reasons since a child who was playing in the cemetery had a stone fall on him I think it was Rochdale way , so now all authorities are paranoid about stones. In our cemetery we are getting letters for us to have work done on the headstones even when they are absolutely solid in place with a £120.00 fee for each family grave. the Bills are being sent to the people who have the grave papers in their keeping.
Every stone marked with a sticker has to have them re-set at the bases even though ours are one concrete footings and not directly into the soil.
They are putting the onus on the bereaved and not on the fact that children should not be using the cemeteries/graveyards as a playground.
I have also noticed that my next door neighbour has had some stone slabs put into her garden as a feature and it was quite obvious when they were wet that there had been some sort of engraving on them previously. So obviously re-cycled stones

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Re: Heraldry Question
« on: Friday 10 April 09 18:35 BST (UK) »
http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/Faq.htm
A coat of arms is granted to an individual and belongs uniquely to that person, being passed down from that person to the eldest son, and then to that eldest son's eldest son and so on down the male line. In such cases, the arms usually remain unchanged. While the father still lives, an eldest son can use the father's arms with what is called a "label": a small three-pointed sign which goes over the top part of the shield to indicate that he is an heir apparent. The younger sons can use another "label". A system of different coloured and shaped borders also distinguishes one member of the family from another.
In Scotland the Lord Lyon can if he so wishes take legal action against anyone who uses the Coats of Arms that belong to someone else. There is definitely no such thing as a Coat of Arms which belongs to a surname it is awarded to an individual.
