Lancs OPC is a brilliant site but has some gaps. One gap I'm particularly interested in is Shaw Chapel Baptism Records 1800-1813. Does anyone know how I can access these?

Go to

www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,355591.0/topicseen.html

and see if Shaw Chapel is listed.  If not, suggest you send a PM to JDGen as she seems to have lots of info about Lancs OPC and might be able to answer your query.

These years are missing because Shaw records are transcribed from the Bishops Transcripts.
The full records should be in Manchester Library (you can check the if the years exist on line) and at Oldham Library.
If you can't go to either place and you want to look for someone specific send me a PM.
