I have been searching for varios births, marriages and deaths in 1893 to 1896 which I know took place in Lancaster but in the BMD's I cant find a mention of Lancaster. Does anyone know if Lancaster came under a different district or was known by a different name. Sorry if its a daft question. ThankX
