Oldham St Marys 18thC Baptisms
« on: Thursday 21 September 06 09:31 BST (UK) »
If any kind person is accessing these PRs, please could they look in the Baptisms to try to solve a small conundrum. I have a Marriage Nov 1792 Timothy Hughs (sic) & Eliz: Hinley (sic). This was at Prestwich with both parties "of Oldham in this parish", but I am assured that although Oldham folk frequently wed at the mother church it was quite rare for them to be baptised or buried there.

I am hoping I have traced Timothy & Elizabeth to Frodsham, Chs (only 30 miles from Oldham) where they (if it was them) baptised 5 children although there is no record of a marriage.

The lookup I need is to see if there were HUGHES children baptised Oldham within a reasonable period (say 3-5 yrs) starting Jan 1793.

If feeling really kind and enthusiastic, my helper could also look around 1780 for Timothy's baptism, and around 1762 for a baptism for Elizabeth, who, if she went to Frodsham was buried there in 1832 aged 70. I haven't found Timothy's burial yet: it was not at Frodsham!

I know it's a lot to ask but I live in North Wales and cannot travel to Manchester Record Office myself for various reasons.
