After many years searching I have just found my Great Grandmother's birth and christening on the IGI at St Werburgh'S, Chester, Cheshire, England in 1846.

I have checked many times previously, does anyone know if these have been added recently?

I presume this is the RC church and not the Cathedral?

It has been quite crucial to find these because there were different versions of her birth in various census years. Also she was probably conceived in Canada then her father killed so the army appear to have "returned" her pregnant Irish-Canadian mother and brother to Yorkshire which is where her father probably enlisted.

I now need to get a copy of the full record to see if it can tell me any more about her father.
