I'm planning a visit to Bury Archives and wondered how many parishes there are to search so I have an idea where to start looking.
Secondly, as I'm looking for the surname Taylor was also wondering if anyone else has been researching the name and like me notes down all instances of the surname being searched.
So if anyone has come across any births to a Joseph Taylor, a Joiner and Loom maker, around the 1820's I would be very greatful.
Kind regards

Hi Dave
GENUKI is a good place to start, follow this link, then search for Bury Lancashire and it should bring up a list of churches

Thanks for the advice.
There are too many churches so haven't a clue which one to start with.

Hi Dave
If you go to the reference library they have loads of church registers transcribed......
do you know of the area in bury where he lived at all?
What year was he born.....if you can find him on the census's you may be able to narrow the search for the church.....
If you go to the reference library on a Thursday morning there's a chap called John Grundy who offers help with research, he's done some for me, I have his e-mail address if your interested

Hi Dave,
Bury is our home town !
what are the addresses you have to work with, maybe I can help ??

Thanks for the Replies.
The main man I'm researching is Thomas Taylor born 1823 / 24 to Joseph and Betty. Joseph was a joiner. In 1818 he was in Clerke St. 1841 to 1871 Bell Lane. 1881 Walmersley Rd. 1891 Baptist place.
I think Joseph may have been married twice, only by going off the IGI marrying 1818. He was born 1776 so he was getting on a bit when son Thomas was born.
If / when I get to Bury I would have to trawl through every Taylor to find anything with Joseph in. That means going through all parishes. Just need a good place to start and work outwards.
Kind regards

Hi Dave
If he was living ing the Bell Lane Area.....it could be BMD's would have been either at St Pauls, as this was on St Pauls Street, Bury..
very near to Bell Lane or the Parish Church in the centre of Bury also known as St Mary the Virgin.......
This is taking it he was C of E.....
Genuki have details of both the above churches.....plus photo's
Bury Library have transcripts for St Pauls......and probably St Mary

Thanks Annie
Everytime I've checked the IGI Thomas wasn't on. Think I'll go through it again maybe I'll find his siblings. There was a James Taylor as a witness on Thomas's marriage cert so presume it's his brother. there are several possible James but which one. I'd hoped to find a joiner like Joseph or a clogger like Thomas but only wevers.
Something will turn up eventually. at least I have a stating point.
cheers

Hi Dave,
Walmersley Road is a really long Road, I checked the census and number 22 is very close to the town centre so again could be St Mary or St John.
Sarah

I think no 22 has been pulled down now. Last year I went past and had a look round the back but was full of black bin bags and other rubbish. Couldn't make out if it was the original house or a more modern one with the same number.
didn't see any old clogs lying about ha ha.
Cheers

Definately have a look at the OPC site..
I have a heap of baptism and marriage records for Taylors around that area that I have made a note of .. think I may even have seen the a joiner called Joseph. I'll check what I have.. be right back
Norma
-
nope.. I only have a list of marriages of Taylors around the area but no baptisms. I do think I have seen Joseph tho, because I was looking for an Eliza Taylor born about 1824 and I may have come across that one in 1826. (my Eliza's parents were Robert and Martha.

Hi Dave,
I shall have to have a look out for number 22 and let you know.
If you come to visit Bury Records, one thing you should have a look at is the picture archive. It is all on the computer and any photographs that take your fancy only cost about 10 pence for a photocopy.
Regards
Sarah :)

Interesting. One of my ancestors, Margaret Atkinson, was born in Bell Lane in 1844.
