Hi Trish
Thanks for looking into it. Maybe one day soon we'll be able to see those pages...:roll:

Ann - thanks for the link, interesting to see the two maps together.

Best wishes
Lesley

Data now seems to be coming soon on FMP according to an email sent to me for anyone who is interested in this area:
Coming in the next month: unfilmed 1851 records online exclusively at findmypast.com

A short time after the 1851 census records go live, findmypast.com will add transcriptions and reconstructed images for around 160,000 individuals from severely damaged pages. They have been made available for the first time online after a 14 year project to transcribe the original records by the Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society (MLFHS).

The records for the Manchester, Chorlton, Salford, Oldham and Ashton-Under-Lyne registration districts were water damaged many years ago when the storage area they were kept in flooded. Some were so badly affected that no writing at all was visible and many were too fragile to be scanned.
