The baptism of Thomas Nixon at Salford Cathedral is here https://www.lan-opc.org.uk/
Sophia Hyndman is his Godmother.

You can search by place/church but I just go to ‘search’ in left hand column, then you will see ‘click’ highlighted in the information.

Good find. I don't usually research in this area, so I'm not very well acquainted with what is available outside the main genealogy sites.

You have the marriage of Andrew Hyndman and Mary Greer - 1870
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1870/11380/8178553.pdf

I found Sophia’s birth 1871 - her mother noted as Mary Corry 
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1871/03277/2200962.pdf

I have tried to find any reason for Mary being ‘Corry’ but can’t find anything useful.

I then searched for Andrew’s birth and realised he must have been born before Mary married Andrew Hyndman if census ages are correct.

At last - here he is - ‘unknown Greer’
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1869/03399/2246752.pdf

If you look the first entry, with father Andrew Hyndman has been crossed through so presumably they were together but not married.

It doesn’t help with the ‘Corry’ name on Sophia’s record  which might be an error, perhaps,

Once more - thanks very much for your help.
