Ministers were first ordered to keep registers of baptisms, marriages
and burials in 1538. However, there are gaps in many of the sixteenth
and seventeenth century registers.
It was not until 1813 that separate
printed volumes were introduced for Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, so
before this date, the amount of information given varies.
Oldham Local Studies and Archives parish records
Oldham Local Studies and Archives have some local Anglican, Non Conformist and Roman Catholic Records on microfilm.
Below is a list of parish records held by Oldham Local Studies and Archives.
Access
You can access parish registers in microfilm, and where held in original format, at Oldham Local Studies and Archives.
Most Anglican parish registers of the Diocese of Manchester (including Oldham Churches) are now available on the Ancestry website. Free access to Ancestry.com is available at Oldham Local Studies and Archives.
For access to registers marked as Archives in the list below you will need official proof of name and address, and your signature (e.g. a driving license, utility bill).
Photocopying of these registers is not permitted.
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.

If records have not been deposited at the Diocesan Record Office, then it can be assumed that they are still with the Church.
