Title: Radley in Rochdale, Manchester
Post by: hellen on Saturday 27 December 08 07:37 GMT (UK)

Hi, can anyone help find the births/baptisms of Samuel Radley and Mary Lees? They were married at Rochdale 7 Feb 1771 and their daughter Esther was baptised 6 Nov 1771 at St Ann Manchester. She is my several times greatgrandmother.
thanks
Hellen

Hello Carole, thanks for that info. Where could I look for the marriage licence and for Radley wills? I know that Manchester came under the Archdeaconry of Chester but couldn't find any help on the websites of the Chester and Lancashire Record Offices (I'm very new to Lancashire  research). Knowing where to find indexes to probate and marriage licences would be a big help.
cheers
Hellen

Hi Hellen

Sorry - I'll have to leave those answers to somebody with more knowledge of that area than I have
