The source of this information is the original registers for these churches which have been transcribed by members of the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society and of the North West Branch of the Catholic Family History Society.

early manuscript index to
the baptism registers. Its accuracy cannot be guaranteed and some entries
are illegible. It is, however, a useful index pending transcription of the
registers. There are four additional sections in this register relating to
baptisms at the Crumpsall Workhouse (1853-1867), Canal Street Workhouse
(1857-1859), New Bridge Street Workhouse (1851-1885) and three baptisms
described as "Military" (1860, 1861 and 1868). The original registers are deposited at the Lancashire Record Office, Preston and copies on microfilm are available in Manchester Archives and Local Studies. |
