Parish Registers and Records (St. Hildeburgh's Church and Holy Trinity Church, Hoylake)

​Parish Records & Church Registers

St Hildeburgh's Church holds recent registers and records for baptisms, weddings and burials at both St Hildeburgh's Parish Church Hoylake, and Hoylake's former parish church of Holy Trinity, Trinity Road, Hoylake (Holy Trinity Church was structurally unsafe and had to be demolished in the 1970's).

​Please Note: St Hildeburgh's is legally obliged to charge a nationally set fee to look for and photocopy records of baptisms, weddings and burials in the records still held by the church in Hoylake. The search fee is currently (2020) £31.00 per hour and £14.00 for a photocopy of any record found.
