Thumbs up The Manchester Collection - findmypast

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

Manchester Apprentices 1700 - 1849 (a tiny database of 609 records):
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/m...on/apprentices

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!

Manchester Cemetery and Death Records 1750 - 1968
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/p...hester-burials
Includes some monumental inscriptions.

Manchester Industrial School Registers 1866-1912:
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/m...hool-registers

Manchester Marriage Registers 1734-1808:
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/p...ster-marriages
Again, only covers a few areas and the dates don't seem to match the above.

Manchester School Registers 1870-1916:
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/m...hool-registers

Manchester Workhouse Registers 1859 - 1911:
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/m...ouse-registers

and Manchester Prison Registers 1847 - 1881 (with some gaps):
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/m...ison-registers

Happy hunting and let us know what you find!

The school registers seem to feature Jewish children. I haven't found any of mine.

They've finally "launched" it, i.e. publicised it! Not sure why the delay.
