This Newton in Makerfield is a culmalitive name for Earlestown, Newton le Willows, and I think Collins Green.

5 Haydock Street is actually in Earlestown which is part of the St Helens County Borough.

St Helens Library do have the baptismal records for St Anne's Church,  it was not named St Annes  & Blessed Dominic till after the 1960's.

These documents are in the archives and you need to request that they be brought out, but they are written in Latin.

I found a lot of mine but you will need to sort out the names into English as well.

They demolished the old church due to mining subsidence and built a modern church (which by the way I hate) and they also demolished the lovely stone built grotto and replaced that in a totally different design to the original.

Because of my family connections with the original parish and the original church I do have a sliver of the the wood from Blessed Dominics coffin from when the opened it up the last time in the 1940's.

Even in the 1940's stillborn children were put into coffins with people they were unrelated to.  My own sister was one of those.

As they had never taken a breath they were not deemed to have ever lived so disposed of in alternative ways.

They also used to put the stillborn into a coffin with a recently deceased  person  or in a public grave.

My own sister was one of those, she was the twin to my brother.
