Have just read a thread on the closure of Churches due to lack of funds for their upkeep and can't help thinking that the solution to both problems lies in their assets ....namely ..Parish Registers and "Heritage". maybe the revenue should go to the Church, maybe it's time to re-invent themselves, as all other businesses and going concerns have to, and .. maybe rootschatters should be the campaigners for this, after all we know just how much this service is desired and we are all sad to see yet another Church, and Graveyard bulldozed to make way for, carparks, flats, office buildings and the like.
I am not a Religious person but view the Churches and the roles they played in our ancestors lives as something worth preserving.

Any takers for mounting some sort of campaign?

We need a good lawyer methinks...

I found a Thomas and a John in the IGI with parents Michael and Jane ! do you have them ??

I'm such a "dufuss " with batch numbers etc .... but I wondered if you could find her that way !!

Annie 

Yes I have them, they seem to be the only 2 of Michael and Janes children appearing on the IGI, do you think this may indicate that the other children were baptised elsewhere, and not neccessarily covered by the LDs?

New eyes are always good and thanks for even being "on the drawing board" in the first place.

Hi,
There is one near Kendal, one near Kirkham (between Preston and Blackpool) and one North west of Clitheroe which is probably the one you want.
