According to Family Search website a family member named Margaret Holliday was buried at St Mary's in September 1852 aged 20days. Born in Thurstaston and baptised there on 18 August 1852 to Christopher and Margaret Holliday. Can you confirm her burial at St Mary's and where her remains would have been removed to. Thank you. John

John,
A Margaret Holliday was buried at St.Mary's 5th September 1852 aged 20 days.[Page 70. Entry 560 St.Marys parish register of Burials].
Her remains could still be there, or moved to Landican Cemetery, Arrowe Park. There is no MI that I am aware of.

There is also another Margaret Maria Holliday buried 20th January 1883 aged 7 weeks of 11 Midland Street Birkenhead. [Page 48 Entry 384 St.Marys parish register of Burials].
Again no MI's for this entry.

Regards
Colin.
