Manchester records online

Parish Registers go online

Manchester City Archives is the Diocesan Record Office for the Diocese of
Manchester (Church of England). The Diocese of Manchester covers the
Majority of Greater Manchester including Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Bury,
Oldham, Rochdale, Leigh, Newchurch, Stretford and Old Trafford, and Ashton
under Lyne.

All our Church of England parish registers of baptisms (up to 1915),
Marriages (up to 1930) and burials will be published online at
Ancestry.co.uk in early February. Over 6,000,000 records have been digitised
and name indexed. It also includes the parish registers for Manchester
Cathedral. Free access to Ancestry.co.uk is available at any Manchester City
Council library. We hope to add non-conformist church registers for Greater
Manchester later on in the year.

That will be fantastic as I have a lot of family research to do in Bolton.

It is good news, but I have to confess, I feel a bit - I don't know, deflated? - as I've been the last two years transcribing Manchester records for Lancs OPC! 

Don't forget us at the OPC, we're still totally free!  :D :D and some records go past 1930 as well

Well thanks Barbara and don't forget that user transcriptions are always better than commercial websites!

Stonechat, thanks for the info - I'm not an Ancestry subscriber, but can see that it may be worth taking out a sub, going like the clappers & then cancelling - I've done a free trial so can't go that route.

FamilySearch already has a Lancashire collection that includes images for many churches in Greater Manchester - not comprehensive, but free:
