Baptisms 1898-1921 (15 Jan)

When Dean Crilly was at Aspull, he took an interest in the neighbouring people of New Springs. However, a new mission was not begun until 1898, when Fr. Owen McNulty was given the hard task of starting a separate parochial foundation with only a few people. He worked hard for eight years and was then sent to St. Ann's, Oldham. Fr. John Gahan was here only a short time, and Fr. Patrick Joyner was here from 1909 to his retirement in 1917 (he died 1920). Fr. Charles Dunleavy did duty for a short period, and Fr. William Isaac was then parish priest for over twenty years until his retirement in 1945.

Members of the Irish Branch of Manchester & Lancashire FHS have by kind permission of the Salford Diocese, transcribed details of the 427 baptisms recorded in the registers. These cover 1898-1920 with a single entry for 15 Jan 1921.

The transcript provides full details as contained in the register and is accompanied by an index to the 1,852 names of children, parents and godparents which appear in the register entries.

Also included are images of the original baptism registers.
