Church Records
Whilst every effort has been made to record exact details of record office and library holdings you are recommended to check with them before visiting to ensure that they do hold the records and years you wish to examine. Similarly check with transcript publishers to ensure they cover the records and years you require before making a purchase.
Register Transcripts
The Lancashire Parish Register Society have published:- Volume 90 - Bapt 1634-1812, Marr & Bur 1662-1812.
Transcripts/indexes in progress
- Bapt 1813-1837, Marr 1813 - Jan 1830 are being transcribed by Craig Thornber
for publication by the
Lancashire Parish Register Society.
Status: Apr 2007 - Transcripts are from an now unknown source. Collation with BTs appears to have been done. Indexing chars have been added. Some entries need checking against the originals.
Work on transcripts and indexes start off with good intentions, but circumstances can arise which mean that the task is larger than first envisaged, or other tasks require the trancribers time. So there is no guarantee that publication will always take place or that initially envisaged target dates will be met.
The work being undertaken is not being done as part of GENUKI, so it will not be available for online research as part of this site. This does not of course preclude it being made available in this way elsewhere. The final publication medium will be determined by the trancriber.
