Hi List I found a great source for research of the above records which dated from Year 1552 to the Year 1686, and from the Year 1731 to the Year 1846. Here is a link to the first volume. To read all 12 volumes just substitute the number as required courtleetrecords01mancuoft I view as a PDF document using Adobe Reader. One tip I would give particularly for the early volumes. The text is in old English and does not always pick up the surname you expect to see so use just a few letters of the surname. For example I am researching the name Travis, I just enter Tra in the Edit & Find box. You will get a fascinating insight into early Manchester life together with some wills, inventories,land requisites and criminal records. Hope this helps somone in their research regards Julie
