I'm looking for information on how to access Catholic Church records circa 1874. I'm specifically looking for one Mary Ann Turtle born approximately 1874 in Manchester. This lady has been difficult to trace. Not all of her four sons were registered at birth, but I have found Mary Ann and her two youngest sons on the 1911 census at 28 Spencer Street, Royton. Son William was sent to Canada in 1912 by the Catholic Emigration Association. Meredith Janni

Can you add anything at all ? I found three children registered but couldn't find her in 1881 or 1901. The Dunn family with who she was living in 1891 also had two children whose births don't appear to have been registered. I couldn't spot a likely Dunn(e)?turtle marriage either to account for the step daughter relationship. I did spot a Polly Turtle in Chorlton in 1881 but she appears to have parents with her.
