Description

For readers with family ties to Manchester and Salford, and researchers delving into the rich history of these cities, this informative, accessible guide will be essential reading and a fascinating source of reference.

Sue Wilkes outlines the social and family history of the region in a series of concise chapters.

She discusses the origins of its religious and civic institutions, transport systems and major industries.

Important local firms and families are used to illustrate aspects of local heritage, and each section directs the reader towards appropriate resources for their research.

No previous knowledge of genealogy is assumed and in-depth reading on particular topics is recommended.

The focus is on records relating to Manchester and Salford, including current districts and townships, and sources for religious and ethnic minorities are covered.

A directory of the relevant archives, libraries, academic repositories, databases, societies, websites and places to visit, is a key feature of this practical book.
