Liverpool Churches/Denominations

[BAC3]

Hello,

Can someone please confirm that St. Nicholas, Liverpool, is a Roman Catholic church?
Ancestry for research purposes has it nominated under the title "England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1935" but according to the website below it is Roman Catholic:

Thank you,

I wonder if the church that Ancestry have as St Nicholas Liverpool in their collection is actually Our Lady and St Nicholas, which is definitely Church of England, and is the Parish Church of Liverpool?
The records Ancestry show for 'St Nicholas' definitely appear to be Church of England, not in Roman Catholic fomat.

Thank you JenB,

The actual Ancestry entry I researched showed the primary source as "St. Nicholas Church, Parish of Liverpool" and the bridegroom as C of E.....and according to birth records etc.   However, when he died 6 years after the marriage he was buried in the Anfield Cemetery, Roman Catholic Section.

Hence my confusion

What was the date of the marriage?

When was this?
At certain times in history ALL marriages had to take place in a CofE church.

There is a St Nicholas RC Church on Copperas Hill. As mentioned the Parish Church for Liverpool is Our Lady and St Nicholas which is C of E.

The RC church, St Nicholas, Hawke Street, was demolished in the 1970s (?) to clear the site for the new GPO building in Copperas Hill. The GPO  building has been demolished more recently.

The marriage took place on 03/02/1867.......Bridegroom John POLAND: Bride Bridget DOYLE, who was born in Ireland.

The record on Ancestry is definitely from the Church of England.

It clearly says ‘Married in the Church of St Nicholas according to the rites of the Established Church’ which is the Church of England.

So it must have been at Our Lady and St Nicholas C of E Church.
