We are a small, friendly Society, formed in November 1990. The group meet locally and provides support and encouragement to those people with an interest in family and local history in the area of North Meols, as well as trying to help with genealogical research.
North Meols was an ancient parish comprising the two townships of Birkdale and North Meols (which included Churchtown, Crossens, Marshside and Banks). The parish comprised much of what is now Southport. As was common at the time, the name of the parish as a whole was also the name of the township containing the parish church. In this case the parish church of St Cuthbert is situated in Churchtown, a central position within the North Meols township.
Our membership consists of approximately 200 people who have an interest in family or local history in the area of North Meols (Southport). Although some of our members are local, we also have many members who live in other parts of the UK or abroad.
