These are the first baptisms found for the LORD
family. Suspect non-conformist baptisms.
Most nearby Church records of all denominations checked that are
available on film, fiche, IGI or BVRI2.
Have not checked local records at Bury Archives. |
| There are 3 other John and
Betty LORDs in the same area:
(one Breightmet -baptisms Bolton, and one Bury - baptisms at
Holcombe, one Spotland).
