Hi,
I have traced back to a relative, but am unable to find details of his birth / father.
Lewis Done:
Born, circa 1811/14, Manchester
Married 1834 Manchester Cathedral (Parish Records)
1841 Census, living in Great Budworth (near Northwich)
1851 Census, living in Runcorn
Therefore I'm hoping to find some records of him & other family members in Great Budworth (1834-1851), to uncover further clues.
Could anybody offer advice regarding Great Budworth Parish Registers?
What survives, how complete are they, how do I access them to research?
All my research thus far has been web driven, so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi fac191,
I also have DONE family from Great Budworth - well one at least, Hannah DONE my 4xggrandmother who married John MOORE at G Bud in 1776. She may be the Hannah on the IGI baptised in 1757 at G Bud with father William. But it does suggest it's possible that Lewis still had family in the area.
The IGI only seems to hold female baptisms unfortunately although there is better coverage on the BVRI if anyone has access to the discs (I don't I'm afraid). Great Budworth was one of the biggest parishes in Cheshire and the registers are hard work, especially in the mid 1700's as there was a fire and they were smoke and water damaged so it's worth cross referencing with the BT's. Last time I was at the records office they mentioned that they were looking at refilming them with the latest technology which would be a great help.
Nothing on the new family search site yet for Great Budworth as far as I can see.....

Hi, As previously mentioned the BVRI (british vital records index). I have just checked this for the period 1811 +/- 5 years for the whole of England for a Lewis Done and there is no match. Sorry this won't help, but will rule out another possible source.
Regards
Kathb

fac191 - if you do go to Chester for this or any other search & are going by car, I'd recommend the Park & Ride - http://www.chester.gov.uk/council_services/parking_services/park_and_ride.aspx
A lot cheaper than the city centre car parks & a good bus link. I've used the one that goes from the Zoo - from the stop in the city centre it's a 5-10 minute walk along the walls to the CRO.

Thanks mshrmh, but to be honest it appears that I'm flogging a dead horse here, so I may have to give it up.
Having drawn a blank at his place of birth, my idea was that because it was only a small village he may have appeared as a witness on a family member's nuptuals whilst he was there & that may have opened another line of investigation.
But it's potentially an awful lot of work for very little benefit.

Jean,
You noted that:
I also have DONE family from Great Budworth - well one at least, Hannah DONE my 4xggrandmother who married John MOORE at G Bud in 1776. She may be the Hannah on the IGI baptised in 1757 at G Bud with father William.
I have a Sarah DONE who married Peter MOORES in Great Budworth on Jun 29 1711.
I am wondering if perhaps either Hannah or John were related to either of them? We may be extremely distant cousins 
Regards,
dalj
