all church records for the whole area covered by Leigh & District and its
surrounding areas.
Members are currently involved with checking the marriage indexes for the Wigan & Leigh Registration District which can be accessed on the following link:- www.lancashirebmd.org.uk

churchyards and cemeteries have been recorded.
Abram St. John's
On Wednesday 18th April 2007 a fully bound copy of the Monumental Inscriptions from Abram St John's together with a CD copy was presented to the church. The book and CD were presented by Norman Finch, who together with his late wife, Evelyn, started off the project in 1990.
In the absence of the resident vicar, Rev. June Steventon, the copies were received by her husband Rev. Kevin Crinks, the vicar of nearby Platt Bridge.
Copies of the CD are available from the Publications Officer at www.liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/acatalog/index.html
