Manchester Diocese Parish Registers - ancestry
Update to post - these are now live.
Baptisms, Marriages and Burials 1541-1812 Marriages and Banns 1754-1930 Deaths and Burials 1813-1985 Baptisms, Marriages and Burials (Cathedral) 1573-1812 Births and Baptisms 1813-1901 (Cathedral) Marriages and Banns 1754-1930 (Cathedral) Deaths and Burials 1813-1866 (Cathedral) Births and Baptisms 1813-1915 I've just seen in the FFHS Ezine that ancestry is planning to put the Manchester Diocese parish registers online next month: Ashton under Lyne, Bolton, Bury, Leigh, Manchester, Newchurch, Oldham, Old Trafford, Salford and Stretford. Over 6 million records have been digitised and name indexed, including baptisms (to 1915), marriages (to 1930) and burials. It is hoped to add the non-Conformist Church registers later in the year. Very exciting! I'm surprised to see this, though, because I thought findmypast were doing all the Manchester stuff. I do prefer ancestry over findmypast for parish registers because their search facility is better even if transcriptions are worse, so I'm glad to hear it will be them.

I wonder what "soon" means?
Soon to me is in the next week or so, but that's because I'm impatient.

Thanks Kite - I wish the baptism records were going to go up to 1919!

It is being advertised on ancestry's front page as "coming soon" now, so hopefully that means imminent!

I have the (nice) dilemma of which piece of research to pursue next. I have put my Lincolnshire ancestors on hold whilst I delve into my Buckinghamshire roots, and soon I shall be distracted by researching my father's Manchester family and OH's too!
Decisions, decisions!

There's no hope for me of getting any domestic chores done - two minutes in and I'm turning up burials for my Alexanders!
