Manchester Archives.
« on: Saturday 23 October 04 19:34 BST (UK) »
Has anyone any idea if Manchester has an Archives or Record Office? If so, what is their address and what surrounding areas does it cover?                     I want to see if one of my ancestors made a Will.
He died between 1810 and 1813.
Any help appreciated.
Viv.

Hi Viv

Manchester Records Office.
56, Marshall Street.
New Cross
Manchester

I do know that they hold the index of the wills, not sure if the Manchester Library holds them as well.

HI Marj,
Thanks so much for that, I've had a really good week with my own family tree and lookups for others as well, so I'm hoping that the luck will continue.
Regards.
Viv.
