St Anne's Church, Liverpool (1772-1871)
St Anne's Church was opened on 25 October 1772. It had been built at the expense of Thomas and Richard Dobb, cabinetmakers, of Williamson Square and Henry North, fruit merchant, Dale Street. They owned the land on which it was built. At the time the area was still quite rural. They applied to Parliament of Great Britain for the passage of the Richmond Chapel, Lancashire Act 1772 to enable the completion of the church as a chapel of ease. The first rector was Claudius Crigan, who had been an army chaplain in Antigua. He married Mary Harman, the widow of a wealthy slave owner, and retired from the army. The church provided services for wealthy inhabitants of Liverpool, raising money to pay the rector by selling pews for sixty and seventy guineas with no free pews. Poet Mary Rolls was married here in 1810. An example of the congregation is Robert Bostock Robert Bostock (22 April 1784, in Bootle – 1847 in Hobart) was an English merchant sailor.

Parliament Of Great Britain
The Parliament of Great Britain was formed in May 1707 following the ratification of the Acts of Union by both the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland. The Acts ratified the treaty of Union which created a new unified Kingdom of Great Britain and created the parliament of Great Britain located in the former home of the English parliament in the Palace of Westminster, near the City of London. This lasted nearly a century, until the Acts of Union 1800 merged the separate British and Irish Parliaments into a single Parliament of the United Kingdom with effect from 1 January 1801. History Following the Treaty of Union in 1706, Acts of Union ratifying the Treaty were passed in both the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland, which created a new Kingdom of Great Britain. The Acts paved the way for the enactment of the treaty of Union which created a new parliament, referred to as the 'Parliament of Great Britain', based in the home of the former Eng ...

Chapel Of Ease
A chapel of ease (or chapel-of-ease) is a church architecture, church building other than the parish church, built within the bounds of a parish for the attendance of those who cannot reach the parish church conveniently. Often a chapel of ease is deliberately built as such, being more accessible to some parishioners than the main church. Such a chapel may exist, for example, when a parish covers several dispersed villages, or a central village together with its satellite hamlet (place), hamlet or hamlets. In such a case the parish church will be in the main settlement, with one or more chapels of ease in the subordinate village(s) and/or hamlet(s). An example is the chapel belonging to All_Hallows_Church,_South_River, All Hallows' Parish in Maryland, US; the chapel was built in Davidsonville, Maryland, Davidsonville from 1860 to 1865 because the parish's "Brick Church" in South River was too far away at distant. A more extreme example is the Chapel-of-Ease built in 1818 on St ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Army Chaplain
A military chaplain ministers to military personnel and, in most cases, their families and civilians working for the military. In some cases they will also work with local civilians within a military area of operations. Although the term '' chaplain'' originally had Christian roots, it is generally used today in military organizations to describe all professionals specially trained to serve any spiritual need, regardless of religious affiliation.

Robert Bostock (slave Trader, Born 1743)
Robert Bostock (1743, Tarvin – 24 September 1793, Liverpool) was an English slave trader, who was born in Tarvin, Cheshire. He was held to be a "very considerable African merchant". His letterbooks for the period 1779-92 have been found to be very useful for historians researching the slave trade of that era. They provide information about his prolific career. Which is ironic as his family tree now includes two mixed race Aboriginal branches. Early life Robert was the son of Peter Bostock, a joiner living in Tarvin and his wife Elizabeth, née Blease, who died shortly after Robert's birth. His father remarried two years later. However his second wife, Ann, also died, in 1748. Slave trader in Liverpool Robert married Elizabeth Wilkinson in Tarvin in 1770 and by 1772 was living in Liverpool.

History Of Liverpool
The history of Liverpool can be traced back to 1190 when the place was known as 'Liuerpul', possibly meaning a pool or creek with muddy water, though other origins of the name have been suggested. The borough was founded by royal charter in 1207 by King John, made up of only seven streets in the shape of the letter 'H'. Liverpool remained a small settlement until its trade with Ireland and coastal parts of England and Wales was overtaken by trade with Africa and the West Indies, which included the slave trade. The world's first commercial wet dock was opened in 1715 and Liverpool's expansion to become a major city continued over the next two centuries. By the start of the nineteenth century, a large volume of trade was passing through Liverpool. In 1830, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was opened. The population grew rapidly, especially with Irish migrants; by 1851, one quarter of the city's population was Irish-born. As growth continued, the city became known as "the second ...
