Holyhead baptism 1857 - Church query
« on: Thursday 27 July 23 18:25 BST (UK) »
I've started work on my husband's family tree and there is a Holyhead connection.

His ancestor was baptised in Holyhead in 1857.

The register of burials I've seen online is for Anglican baptisms etc in Holyhead, Anglesey, but the name of the Church is not given. The place of abode was 'Holland Bank' and in 1861 the family were in Newry Street.

Were all Anglican baptisms at that time, in one particular church, or could it have been at one of several?

I've found the name of a church - Church of St Seiriol, Holyhead, Anglesey - opened around 1853 and wondered if it would have taken place there.

Any local knowledge appreciated - i don't know Holyhead at all!
