<<snipped>> North Rode is a modern church dating from 1846 so I assume there are no ancient parish registers. This may explain the "missing" records! <<snipped>> Yes and no - there are parish registers in the Cheshire Collection on FMP starting later than 1846. However, when I look in the Cheshire Archives catalogue for North Rode CofE there are only two physical volumes, viz: Reference P 318/6895/2 Title Register of Baptisms Date 1846-2004 Reference P 318/6895/2 Title Register of Burials Date 1846-2004 So I guess they filled up so slowly that they only used two books up to 2004. Which possibly means that either they've not been filmed yet, or as parts of the books spill over into the years regarded as "confidential", the whole register has been filmed but left unloaded. In other words, it's not the 1846 that's presumably driving the non-appearance, it's the 2004. Adrian B PS - Yes, I know those references don't make sense - you surely can't have 2 volumes with the same reference, but they are a copy of the online catalogue. The hierarchy doesn't match the references, so maybe they are temporary values???
