    3. Hi The catalogue for Cheshire Archives does suggest they have the Parish Registers. It would be worth checking whether the LDS actually digitised them. I seem to recall somebody saying that a small number of Parish Registers weren't digitised as either the originals were too fragile or permission was refused.

Compare the initial letter with a marriage in the opposite column on 5 Septem between William Pinnington and Jane Plant. It looks as though the transcriber of the PR to BT first wrote Isac PICKSTOCK then realised he needed a second 'a' in Isaac's name and overwrote it thereby crashing into the last name. The tail of the letter 'P' can clearly be seen. The LDS transcriber has then made an error. This doesn't help you find the PR though. A short emailed request to Cheshire RO might result in you finding out what has happened to the PR - if it is still in existence - and, if the register is with them in their archive, an archivist may do a look-up for you too.
