[Lancashire online Parish Clerks Project] go to google and type in as above, which shows parishes of Farnworth and Prescot with records of baptisms, marriages and burials through from early 18th century to middle of 19th century.A lot of families moved from Prescot and surrounding villages into the growing city of Liverpool. So if you can't find certain family relatives elsewhere you might find them here.Good luck on search
