We do not hold any original Roman Catholic records. These have either been retained by the various parish churches or deposited with the Lancashire record office, Preston, which is the record office for the diocese of Salford. We do, however, hold microfilm copies of registers and register transcripts, the originals of which are at the Lancashire record office.

We also have a complete set of the publications of the catholic record society, including transcripts of many local catholic parish registers.

Complete details of all our holdings are given below. This list is arranged by “traditional” (pre-1974) county. For Bolton entries see under Lancashire.

Note: Many of the Roman Catholic registers are written Latin. Most of the transcribers have copied the entries exactly, and therefore many of the transcripts are also in Latin.

The links below take you to expanded lists organised by county.
