Mary, another early 1800s' Manchester birth. They are so difficult, aren't they?
I have a few of those.

Yes, dreadful, there are just so many Grimshaws in the area. I've been lucky to get as far as I have, really. At least this bunch moved to Bradford during the cotton famine. I'm hoping to make progress when LancsOPC has transcribed more baptisms.
