Bury Parish Church

Looking for Family Records?

A Parish Church has existed for centuries on this site and thousands of baptisms, weddings and funerals have been held in the present and past church buildings.

Because records require lots of space and must be kept securely, in an environment that has controlled temperature, humidity and light levels it is no longer possible to store all our ancient records at the church. So all records prior to 1940 have been transferred to:

Manchester Archives 

Central Library

St Peter’s Square

Manchester

M5 2PD

Please note that from Monday 28th June 2010 the Manchester Archives and Local Studies facilities will be housed, temporarily, at City Library, Elliot House, 151 Deansgate, Manchester M3 3WD.  The telephone number for enquiries is: 0161 234 1983.

If your enquiry relates to records after 1940, please apply in writing to The Rector, Bury Parish Church, Tithebarn Street, Bury, Lancs, BL9 0JR, or you can contact the Parish Office by email at bpc.office@virgin.net.  

You may also wish to visit: www.ancestry.com and www.findmypast.co.uk which are on-line resources for family history documents and family trees.

Good luck with your family history research.
