http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/ has many useful transcriptions of parish records.

Ancestry has a collection of Liverpool parish records online.
Note that RCs weren't authorized to keep official marr regos until (I think) the 1980s - before that a registrar had to attend an RC marr with his own official register for the couple to sign, so that's where one finds the official registration - but this doesn't stop the church from recoding the same details in its own unofficial register, and many RC churches did.
Pre-1898, almost all non-conformists, not just RCs, weren't authorized to keep official marr regos - the exceptions were jews and quakers who together contribute less than 0.3% of marrs.

I, too, think she wed Joseph, but the marr ended after a couple of years, whether legally, with the death of Joseph, or just because they went their own ways, it's not easy to guess without their m.cert. Anyways, Agnes then had Jean with Mr Limacher.
Agnes was free to call Jean by any surname she chose, but Mr Limacher had acknowledged his fatherhood by accompanying Agnes when she rego'ed Jean's birth, and signed as her dad. He might have even paid some support for Jean, or continued to live with Agnes - who knows (well, maybe Jean does). Anyways, Jean got called Limacher. If you lookup Jean on FreeBMD, then click on her page # on the hit, you'll see all the index entries that point to that page of b.certs. In this case, you'll see there sre 6 entries instead of the usual 5. The reason is that there's 2 index entries for Jean's b.cert:

Baker Jean A Grierson Liverpool N 8b 892
Limacher Jean A Grierson Liverpool N 8b 892

I don't know abt b.certs post-1969q1, but pre-1969q2, the child is not given a surname on the b.cert - the implication is that the child will take the surname of a parent, although there's no legal obligation that the child should be so named.

The m.cert will also allow you to trace Agnes further back.
Andrew's 4 Aug 2014 19:17 post offers 2 possibilities for Agnes's birth rego, viz:
1906q3 (d/o William, Sheet metal worker) and 1912q1 (d/o Francis, Engine fitter).
I favour the latter, but that's really just a guess.

Thank you all so much for your help my dad David baker and sister Anne baker have no father on birth certificate listed, only assumed she married Joseph as am aware she had a relationship with him and with children having his surname. Think will order my aunts birth certificate to see if that changes anything x

Carolann that sounds like a mystery that you have to solve!!- if you definately know that Jean was your Dad's sister I would definately get her birth certificate.

But first you really need your Dad's birth cert- Does it give his father as Thomas or Joseph? There is only one Grierson marriage to a Joseph Baker, (the other Grierson/ Baker marriage is a Thomas Baker)

I hope this makes sense :)

Hi, sorry for late reply this is where family issues set in i know from marriage certificate that my nan's maiden name is grierson. My father is baker but not sure how my aunt got surname limacher and noone knows why. I found two grierson and baker that married close to each other and ordered the other one and think she was mary x

Hi Carolann, I'm a little lost too!

Did the name Agnes Grierson come from your father's birth certificate? Was she unmarried when she had your father?

How did you find out she'd died with surname baker?

I do hope you get back to us :)

Hi

Thanks. What do you hope to find from her birth certificate?

Can you comment on the two marriages above, I'm confused.com! One is Mary Agnew and the other is Agnes

Edit:

Jean is Agnes Grierson' daughter?

My aunt is jean limacher she married Peter Anderson.

Not sure what you mean regarding the marriages you make mention to?

' I may have to request my elderly aunts birth certificate'

Who is your elderly aunt please?

The information on a death certificate is only as good as the informant knows ........ or as much as the deceased allowed them to know!


Even family get it wrong.


Soooooooooo ........... age and date of birth are very often wrong



The only information that you can count on being correct on a death certificate is ..................


date and place of death
cause of death
name and address of doctor
name of coroner and date of coroner's inquest if applicable
name, address and relationship of informant


EVERYTHING else may have to be taken with a pinch of salt!

Thank you for all your help x I have previously requested a marriage certificate but found two women with same name married a Joseph baker. I may have to request my elderly aunts birth certificate x

Scotland possibilities

6 1908 GRIERSON AGNES F HAMILTON /LANARK 647/00 0963
7 1909 GRIERSON AGNES F HAWICK /ROXBURGH 789/00 0254
8 1909 GRIERSON AGNES GIBSON F COATBRIDGE OR OLD MONKLAND /LANARK 652/02 1394


so no Agnes May

Jude

We believe that she may of had a younger sister Emily but no further details except she lived in Wavertree had a child called May.

Did a little digging....was Agnes born in Scotland?

It seems that the person who registered her death did not know her DOB as it should have been included in the registration

Do you know if Agnes had any brothers or sisters?

Andy

There is no birth with corresponds to the info given. These are the two closest I can see and dates are wrong if the info on the death record is correct.
