There are certainly baptism and marriage registers from sometime before 1910 when my Grandparents married there. The church only became "independant" of St Georges Rd Cong which spawned it around 1890; the earliest documentation I found when in Bolton was a bazaar book of 1896. But, Andrea, you are more likely to find if your people were members there by looking at the various membership records. Incidentally I am interested in anyone who has family links with the church as am trying to build up a profile of those my family were involved with Michael

Hi Michael, Your suggestion certainly sounds plausible. It would seem perhaps a more likely time period. If so, it would be a typo on the website because I copied and pasted the information directly from p38 of the document "Archives 2000 - A Guide To The Resources Of The Bolton Archive And Local Studies Unit", which is available for download from the Archives website.
