Jim, Just because a record is not in the IGI is no reason to believe they do not have the church records. You must search the catalog of the LDS Family History Library at FamilySearch. Then rent the appropriate microfilm. Alternately, you might be able to get a researcher to look them up in the Cheshire Record Office http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/shop/recoffrequestres.htm =============================== Bishop's transcripts for Grappenhall, 1596-1890 Church of England.
