The starting point would be the catalogue of the Jewish records held by the Manchester Central Library - Local Studies and Archives. Unfortunately the Central Library is closed for renovations but there are details on what is in the collection and where it is being held right now http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/448/archives_and_local_studies/462/family_ history_in_manchester/13 Chevra Tillim Synagogue, Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester (The synagogue joined with other synagogues in 1958 to form the Cheetham Hebrew Synagogue.)

I am looking for information on where its records might have gone and how I can find out things in these records. Any other information about the Jews that were living in Fernie Street (like my ancestors) in the late 1850s is also greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Sigrid de Wit
