I just suggested it as I have sometimes seen extra information written at the side of some records.

How do you find what churches are on line at ancestry please?

Christopher and Mary Ann were married in St Peter’s C of E and my very first post on here made clear that they were married in the Anglican Church.

Christopher died on 29 July 1865 at 4 Hurst Street, Liverpool.

Mary Ann died on 4 December 1872 at 4 Hurst Street.

But I think (see page 2) we have also suggested that they may have been married again in an RC church. As far as I am aware as the children were baptised with the parents obviously considered married, the RC church would not have considered they had been married in the eyes of god without that second ceremony. The CofE marriage would have been to satisfy the legal requirements

That suggestion about an RC marriage was for the wrong Christopher.

I can find no second marriage in the RC church for Christopher Welch and Mary Ann Clement. They may have had a RC blessing but we can never know as they are not recorded.  Although their children were baptised in the RC church, the children’s marriages that I have found were all in the C of E.  (My family is an excellent mix - we have Quakers and Methodists too.)

Christopher and Mary Ann were both interred at St James Churchyard, now gardens surrounding the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool.

(For those who asked, the Lancashire Parishes Online site is excellent.)
