While looking through the records of St Mary & St Helen, Neston, Cheshire, I have come across a number of strays from outside the county & even the country:
Burial of John Henri Wright, cabinet maker, a German, 25 August 1762.
Burial of James McLoughlan & Timothy Nercy, both Irish men, 22 Sep 1761.
Burial of John Cashin, an Irish man, 30 Oct 1761.
Burial of Robert Nathaniel of the Parish of Towen, North Wales, 2 Jan 1761.
As Neston was a main port on the River Dee there are lots of strangers dying or being married there. There are similar records at any of the other Wirral & Liverpool chuches. I've tried the usual lines, such as the IGI & Rootsweb, but no luck so far.It seems a shame that these records are unlikely to be found by descendants of the families concerned. Has anyone any ideas about what to do with them?
