For some reason they aren't promoting this on their front page yet, so thanks to OC for pointing it out!

Manchester Baptisms and Births 1734-1920
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/p...ester-baptisms
Only seems to cover a few areas and I don't see how the individual databases make up the date range given!

Includes some monumental inscriptions.

Manchester Marriage Registers 1734-1808:

Again, only covers a few areas and the dates don't seem to match the above.

Manchester Workhouse Registers 1859 - 1911:
