I am trying to get more info on the church where my parents in law married but can find no trace of it or their marriage on the BMD index. All I know is that it was called St Willoughby's in Manchester. Does anyone no where I can go to get further info? Many thanks, Lisa

Oh my Mum Dad and lots of me family got married etc there, have a word with Catherine she has connections at St stephens they maybe able to help good luck, Lilxx

Lisa is St Willoughby's not there anymore? i live in the South now but did visit Clayton not that long ago, but did not go to St Willoughby's, i went to find a community hall named after my Grt Gran Parents. Lilxx

Thanks Lil. I was going off word of mouth info from in laws. I had tried to trace St Willoughby's online but might might just try the good old yellow pages! My other half now thinks Clayton rings a bell. Ta Lisa

Lisa yea there was Def; one in Clayton dont know of another me self, what names are you looking for? Lilxx

My in laws are/were Joseph O'Neill & Ellen Lee and they married mid 1940's (46?). I know their dates of birth and when Joe died but not a lot else! My other half seems to think his mam came from Ancotes and his dad may have come from Clayton. Lisa

Hi Lhttp://www.manchester.gov.uk/libraries/arls/registers/prlistg2.htmiza. Im sure the church was on North Road Clayton or a road beggin with an H but cant rememeber it will come to me later, Lilx

Anne yea that's the one my Parents married at should go to spec saver, Sorry Liza i think i read it wrong thats Def the Church on North Road and its still there just spoke to me Mum, and it does come under the Clayton area, My Dad attended the School opposite, Lil
