Hi Doreen I was at Middleton Library last week and forgot to look if there were any BMD records from the Roman catholic churches in Middleton. Do you know whether there are any available for St Peters (I would guess) as one of my Radcliffes was married there, and I presume their children baptised there, in the late 1800's or early 1900's.

Hi Joanne, St Peters records are still at the church. A new priest started there a couple of months ago, so I don`t yet know his views on accessing the records. There used to be a secretary that one could phone mornings during the wk. This was the only RC church in Middleton at the time required. Doreen.

Hi Doreen Thanks a lot. Perhaps I'll give them a ring and find out their views. I'll let you know if I get any information worth having!
