Kathleen Most of my ancestors were from Manchester and Salford. I have done most of my research online but have also visited the FRC and Manchester Central Library. Lynne

Kathleen, have you tried Salford Local History Library at Peel Park, Salford? My family ended up in Salford and I found loads of information there. The Librarian is Tim and he knows everything there is to know! Best wishes, Carol.
