I'm sure I posted this yesterday, but I can't find it now ??? Apologies if I'm repeating myself!
I have a marriage from the IGI which only states Manchester - no specific church is given, so before I can order a copy from Manchester Archives I need to confirm whether or not it took place in the cathedral.
I'd be very grateful of a lookup if anyone has access to the cathedral records please.
The entry in question is the marriage of Samuel Slack & Ann Holmes on 27 Nov 1832.
Many thanks

Hi,
The film number relates to St. John`s Manchester. Give me a minute or two and I will see if I can find the image.

Thanks very much for that Mo.
I'm just getting back into this after a break, and am not up to speed with the "new improved" IGI yet - can you tell me how you knew that marriage was from St Johns please? I tried following the batch/film number but to no avail.

Hi,
Go to the family search home page and underneath "Discover Your Family History" is Catalog. Click on this, select "Film Numbers" from the drop down selection in the search box and type in the film number.
