The Common Room / reading micro fiche
« on: Sunday 18 July 04 20:16 BST (UK)  »
Is it possible to read a micro fiche by scanning it on a 1200 PC scanner and enlarging it on the computer - or is the resolution just too high? Has anyone tried it?

Peter,

Can you tell me which church would be the local one to Sale in 1800. It seems most of them did not exist then and I am getting very confused between the various old parishes.

I have found a marriage on the IGI index that mentions St Mary's Manchester. Would this be the same as St Mary's Bowden?

Hi Peter,

Well thanks for trying anyway!   Maybe the BM index is not that complete.  Unfortunately Chester is quite a long way away for me.

Do you know what happened to the Cheshire parish record transcription project that I think was being organised by somebody at Manchester Uni?  

Regards,

Cheshirecat

Hi Peter,

I do have the Bertram Merrell Marriage Index myself and I couldn't find John either! That is why I wanted to know if there was any more info on the parish records.  Below is the information I have from the 1841 census

1841 Census H0107/91/5/Folio 9
Township: Sale(Parish of Ashton-upon-Mersey)
Address: New Chester
 
John Aldcroft   40   Gardener            
Mary            40         
William         20            
Anne            15            
Thomas        15               
James          12            
John            10                     
Joshua        12             
Samuel         5

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

I have been researching my ALDCROFT family from Cheshire for some time now. I have now got back before civil registration and need to look at parish records and have thought about getting the Cheshire Parish Records CD but am not sure how useful it would be to me.

Could you please try and look up my ggg grandfather John Aldcroft who I believe was born around 1796 and married Mary I presume before civil records began? I believe he would come under the parish of St Mary's, Bowden as most of the family records I have refer to New Chester, Sale.

Is there only one "Cheshire Parish Records" CD and who publlished it.

Thank you for your help.

Cheshirecat :)
