CHORLTON AND SOUTH MANCHESTER REGISTRATION DISTRICT

MANY people get slightly confused when dealing with the area covered by the Chorlton Registration District. It is not just the area in and around Chorlton on Medlock but much more. The correct title of the district is the Chorlton/South Manchester Registration District. The district was in existence between 1837 and 1939 and I have listed the parishes which were within the boundaries, some only for a short time such as Eccles, St Mary.

Please remember that this is a list of the Established Church Parishes and that there were many other places to get married, including the Register Office itself. There were 132 Nonconformist places of worship plus 21 Roman Catholic churches in the district. A great many were not permitted to keep their own registers before 1899 so these marriage details will be held by the Register Office.

It also does not take into account an adjustment of the boundaries between Manchester North and Manchester South registration districts in 1936, which involve part of Hulme going to Manchester North and parts of Bradford and Clayton going to Manchester South.

Please note that not all of these register have been filmed. They may still be held by the church. To check if the Parish Registers are on film at Manchester Central Library go to the link at the bottom of this page page.
