St Laurence Church, Frodsham - MIs?

[LizzieW]

Does anyone know if there is a CD available of MIs at St Laurence Church, Frodsham?  I know the Cheshire FHSC has a CD of parish records to 1813, but that is not what I need.

Hi,

The Family History Society of Cheshire website has a link  " Research Resources"


http://www.fhsc.org.uk/

There is a link then to Cheshire MIs.

Thank you for that, I thought I'd seen a list somewhere.  Not sure whether there are any MIs available of the dates I'm interested in, looking at the list.    There may be MIs at Cheshire Record Office, Manchester Central Library and SOG.  I've looked on the SOG site, using the ref. no they quote and, unfortunately, the MIs  only go up to 1798 and not each year is listed, also it seems the manuscript is for reference only.

I'll have to contact Cheshire RO and Manchester Central Library to see if they have anything more.  Otherwise, it looks like a holiday to Cheshire, that'll be interesting as I left Cheshire when I married in 1962 and as far as I can remember I only visited Frodsham as a child.

Hi Lizzie,

Have you tried contacting the church?  Many years ago I lived in Essex and one of the churches logged all the stones in their graveyard and added the details to the church website.

Any Rootschatters living nearby who could check the church for you?

Hi Lizzie,

As far as I'm aware they aren't available on either microfiche or CD, but Cheshire Records Office have a hand written transcription which you have to ask for at the desk - not much use given your location, but perhaps if someone happens to be going they could do a lookup for you?

Good idea to check with the church.  I don't really want to ask any Rootschatters to look for me as I have quite a few ancestors who are/could be buried there and I think it would be a case of wandering round the graveyard and making notes/taking photos of lots of graves.  

Of course, if there are any Rootschatters who live nearby and don't mind just checking with the church as to whether they have a list of MIs available, then that is different,

Thanks for the info, which crossed with my post.  Maybe Cheshire RO, would photocopy the handwritten list for me.

It's quite substantial and bound into a small booklet.  They may have plans to film it so it's worth checking with them...

Thanks - As we are probably having our house re-arranged  this year at great expense, I doubt we'll be going away, so a quick trip to Cheshire might be a good idea.
