Hi All, I am looking for information on baptisms in Manchester Cathedral between 1823 and 1831. These records do not appear to be on the Lancashire OPC at present. I have found some records of interest on Family Search and would like to know if there is any more info on the original and also, if this is the family I am seeking, if the baptisms that are missing in Family Search are present in the original. Where can I see the originals (or as near to that as possible). Any info appreciated. Christine

Hello Christine:   I'm afraid that the Collegiate Church baptisms are not very informative for this time period. You may find that there's little (if any) further information gained by looking at a microfilm of the entry. Of course, it's always desirable to check these things. If Manchester is not a convenient location for you - and there are issues at present with the Central Library closures - then you can always request a film from the LDS church to view at one of their libraries close to you.   I expect that you did notice a baptism for a potential sibling of Joseph and Thomas Hill. This would be William baptised in 1820. It would not be unreasonable to suppose that the marriage of Joseph Hill and Elizabeth Darlington at Prestwich in 1819 could be a contender. Details for this marriage can be found on the Beta site at www.familysearch.org   Best wishes, Irene

Hi Irene and All, Thank you for your reply. I had noticed the baptism of William and there is a William in the next generation which could be coincidence or not. I had not noticed the marriage of Joseph HILL and Elizabeth DARLINGTON. Well spotted, that seem probable. The trouble is I have William and Nancy Deborah who I did not expect but are quite possible, then Thomas who matches, then I am missing Ann in 1826, but have a baptism in 1826 for Mary Ann who was born c 1828, Joseph who was baptised in 1827 and I have him born in 1829 and I am missing Elizabeth b c 1930. If Ann is Nancy Deborah then she was baptised 4 years before she was born! Although it seems as if it should fit the anomalies make me wonder. It is interesting that a witness to the marriage of Joseph HILL and Elizabeth DARLINGTON was Thomas MORTEN and Elizabeth later married a MOR(E)TON. Having said that I cannot find a later marriage of Elizabeth that fits with that. Many thanks again for the marriage.

Hi Christine, Are those dates of birth taken from census returns? If so they could be out by a few years easily, this often happens and so the baptisms could be right.

I've just had a film from the Mormons of Baptisms in Manchester Cathedral (think it was called the Collegiate church at that time) in the 1820's. It was a copy of the original Parish register The info was limited to the following:- Date Name of child First names of parents Parents' surname Father's Occupation Parent's address (which was just "Manchester" or "Salford" so not helpful at all) Hope this helps Jenni ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christine Benson" <[email protected]> To: "Manchester Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2011 11:45 PM Subject: [ENG-MAN] Manchester Cathedral - Baptisms > Hi All, > > I am looking for information on baptisms in Manchester Cathedral between > 1823 and 1831.
