Hi Pauline, You mentioned Thomas and Hannah Anderton Wareing married in 1803 in Brindle. The early Registers of the Catholic mission at Brindle were published in 1922 by the Catholic Record Society, together with those of the neighbouring mission of Samlesbury (pronounced 'Sams bury' - not berry). I think the entries have then been entered in the IGI. Later Registers of this mission have been published on microfiche by the Lancashire Family History & Heraldry Society (LFHHS) - see their website www.lfhhs.mcmail.com for detail and prices. The baptisms include two of a Thomas and Hannah at Brindle in 1803 and 1806, and then one at Samlesbury in 1808. There are also three at Samlesbury to Thomas and Diana in 1811, 1813, and 1815. It is possible that Hannah / Ann improved her name to Diana. Recent work has shown that these two missions served overlapping districts and that people did not always go to the nearer of the two. Two of the other queries relate to families in Preston after 1841. The Census Returns for Preston have been indexed by Surname and copies are available in the Harris Library in Preston (not of easy access to you). The indexes from 1851 to 1891 have been published on microfiche by LFHHS, details as above. The original Registers for St. Wilfrid's are still at the Church, but there is a transcript deposited in the Lancashire Record Office (LRO) in Preston - except for the years 1803 - 1813 which are lost. The early Registers of St. Augustine's to the early 1900s have been deposited at the LRO and when I last asked to look at them they were considered too fragile for public use. Hope this helps Jim Lancaster (Bury, LAN)
