Parish registers held at Oldham Local Studies and Archives

Listed in the table below are the parish records held by Oldham Local Studies & Archives.

For access to registers marked as Archives you will need some official proof of name, address, signature, e.g. a driving licence, utility bill, banker's card or CARN (County Archive Research Network) ticket. Please note that photocopying of these registers is not permitted.

Note: Bishop's Transcripts are copies of the parish registers sent to the Bishop. There are cases where there are differences both of spellings and dates, omissions and inclusions. It is worth checking entries you have extracted from original registers with those of the transcripts and vice-versa.
