Hello, I would like to let you know about photogopying of original parish registers from Manchester Libraries. http://manchester.libraries click onto public libraries then click onto archives and local studies then click church register on your right. 50p for A4 size you can order 3 off a print out form 30p postage. You must have the parish and district and precise date. the photocopies are really good to read. I had this tip last week off a GC member sorry I can't find your name now but, thank you. Shirley

Hello Catherine copies from microfilms of some parish registers Baptism/burial/marriages. Baptism it shows the full page from the original register. Marriages it shows the original marriage certificate. burial I am sorry I don't know. they won't accept orders from copies from pre-printed register (i.e.pre-1813 for baptisms and burials,pre-1754 for marriages, and all pre-1837 Noncomformist registers.) copied from the form. Hope it helps Shirley
