St Wilrid's Hulme, baptisms

[Maria Goretti]

Thank you very much Loes, greatly appreciated.

Can someone please tell me where I should go for R.C. Marriages for S. Manchester & Bucklow as I am not at all familiar with the parish or civil divisions in Manchester.

Veronica Kathleen M.L. Pitt-Lancaster married Leon D. Mercer June Q 1927 in S. Manchester
Horace Francis H.A. Pitt-Lancaster married Ethel Mootz Sept. Q 1934 in Bucklow
Bernardine Gertrude Pitt)Lancaster married Herbert Morrison  sept Q 1928 in Manchester S.
Ethel Pitt-Lancaster remarried to Maurice G. Hulme Sept. Q 1953 in Bucklow after her first husband died.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Maria

The Manchester Archives have the church marriages, including RC, of S Manchester on microfilm. Not sure if they are complete. There is an ordering service for prints, but then you need to know the church and exact date. And for those you need the marriage certificate.
Bucklow, probably something like that, but I don't know where. Maybe Chester?

Why don't you just order the marriage certificates?  When you live outside the UK, to order them from Manchester is far quicker than from the GRO (it was still like that last year).

Bucklow certificates maybe in Trafford, but you can email them

And of course you can order all of them from the GRO. Easier, but delivery can be slow.

Hi,

The two South Manchester marriages are showing on Lancashire BMD as Chorlton on Medlock Registry Office or Registrar Attended.

I would have thought the most likely RC churches in Chorlton on Medlock would have been either Holy Name or St Augustines.

Sorry its doesn't narrow it down much.  Roman Catholic records are more difficult to access online.  I would agree with Loes in that ordering the marriage certificates might be the best way to go.

I live abroad and usually order online from the GRO.  Usually I order with the GRO reference and it takes them 4 days to process and despatch the certificate plus time in post (about 4-5 days in my case).  If you order without the GRO reference it does take them longer to process the order (15  days I think).

Hi Maria,

Bucklow is a registration district in Cheshire - there is a list here of the areas that it covers:

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/bucklow.html

Tracking down the church might be difficult as it could be any within these areas.  There is a local index for the area which is still being worked on at www.cheshirebmd.org.uk but unfortunately the marriages you are looking for aren't there yet and if they were they would probably show register office or registrar attended like the one's for Manchester South.  The easiest way would probably be to order the certificates as per the advice above.
