Looking at that F a G record, it is this St Mary’s.

Sorry, I can’t shrink the link

Yes apparently it was St Mary's in Kirkdale.

It looks to have had a Catholic section.

 St Mary's near to the site of the hospital? I wonder if the numbers dying at the hospital were such that they decided to use temporary burials there? This newspaper article from the summer of 1859 suggests that resources were stretched (perhaps the same St Mary's?).

21 August 1859: The Liverpool Standard

Quote
THE CHOLERA, - This dreadful scourge is, we regret to say, devastating the poorer districts of the town with increased effect. On Sunday there were upwards of twenty funerals at St. Mary's, Kirkdale, and such was the scarcity of funeral equipages, that as the occupants of one mourning coach were put down the carriage was driven rapidly away with its accompanying hearse, to supply the urgent demands of those reguiring interment for their relations. The proprietors, in these instances, provided ordinary hackney carriages for the purpose of conveying the funeral parties home. The funeral pedestrian processions daily approaching St. Patrick's Chapel, Toxteth-park, are so numerous as to shock persons living in the neighbourhood.

I saw that on F a G. On the St Mary's record it looks like he was buried in a mass grave.

The first burials in this cemetery took place on 24 March 1881. Which is over 30 years later than he died though

Which cemetery is that - 1881?

That’s a sad report, Alan.

I apologise for repeating the request/information re St Mary’s. I see now that the baptisms were at St Mary’s Catholic Church , Liverpool but the burial was St Mary’s cemetery, Kirkdale.

This does not solve your puzzle though re St Martins.

Yes I see what you mean  ???

However, there are two burial records for Michael Lynch who is on the St Martin in the Fields record with William Stirrup in October 1849.
The St Mary’s burial is 2nd September.
