History
While the locale of Manchester is quite old, its status as a city, and one of the premier cities of England at that, occurred relatively late in time.

The recorded history of Manchester began with the civilian settlement associated with the Roman fort of Mancunium. The Roman fort was established around AD 79 on a sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. This name has continued, with the local residents still being called Mancunians.

Manchester lies in a bowl-shaped land area bordered to the north and east by the Pennines, a chain of hills that runs the length of northern England, and to the south by the Cheshire Plain.

Manchester is 35.0 miles (56.3 km) north-east of Liverpool and 35.0 miles (56.3 km) south-west of Sheffield, making the city the halfway point between these two major industrial centers. Much of the inner city, especially in the south, is flat, offering extensive views from many highrise buildings in the city of the foothills and moors of the Pennines. This feature of the terrain made for easy and rapid building as the city developed.

Throughout the Middle Ages Manchester remained a manorial township but began to expand "at an astonishing rate" around the turn of the 19th century. Manchester's unplanned urbanization was brought on by a boom in textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution, and resulted in it becoming the world's first industrialized city.

Significant quantities of cotton began to be used after about 1600, firstly in linen/cotton fustians, but by around 1750 pure cotton fabrics were being produced and cotton had overtaken wool in importance in the region. The Irwell and Mersey were made navigable by 1736, opening a route from Manchester to the sea docks on the Mersey. The Bridgewater Canal, Britain's first wholly artificial waterway, was opened in 1761, bringing coal from mines at Worsley to central Manchester. The canal was extended to the Mersey at Runcorn by 1776. The combination of competition and improved efficiency halved the cost of coal and halved the transport cost of raw cotton.

The Peterloo Massacre in 1819 and establishment of the Anti-Corn Law League in 1838 elevated Manchester's importance which eventually culminated in city status in 1853 – thus becoming the first new British city in over 300 years and cementing Manchester's position as the world's first industrial city.

During the same period, the completion of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 (see the picture below) established Manchester as an inland port, and the building of world's first railway, Stephenson's Rocket, (from Liverpool to Manchester) resulted in rapid growth for the city itself, and its environs.



Manchester became the hub for the manufacturing region around, with cotton weaving being king.

Occupations
In the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, Manchester was a major hub for both the cotton and the woolen trade, specializing in high quality cotton cloths. Most of this activity has ceased, and Manchester has had to re-invent itself. It has done a much better job of this than its nearest competitor, Liverpool. Since about 1970, Manchester and the Greater Manchester area has increased in population, while Liverpool has declined. Since 2001, the population has grown by 87,900, or 20.8%

In fact, since around the turn of the 21st century, Manchester has been regarded by sections of the international press, British public, and government ministers as being the second city of the United Kingdom. In 2014, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network ranked Manchester as a beta world city.

Manchester owns two of the country's four busiest airports and uses its earnings to fund local projects. The airports alone are major employers in the region. Manchester also has the largest UK office market outside London, providing employment bases for more than 25,000 local residents. The strong office market in Manchester has been partly attributed to 'Northshoring', ( a local term derived from offshoring) which entails the relocation or alternative creation of jobs away from the overheated South to areas where office space is possibly cheaper and workforce market may not be as saturated.

Major companies either headquartered in Manchester, or having their UK or European HQ in the Manchester area and providing major employment opportunities include: Adidas, AstraZenica, Auto Trader, Barclays Bank, US Mellon Bank UK HQ, Brother Electronics (Japan), Deloitte, Gazprom, Google, ITV Granada, Kellog's, KPMG, The Peel Group (property management), PG Tips (UK largest tea company), Siemens, Thomas Cook Airlines, Umbro.

RELIGION
Manchester is not known for any outstanding activities relative to religion. Since the Norman conquest, the area has been considered basically Christian, and as such, initially followed the church of Rome until the dissolution initiated by Henry VIII.

Thomas de la Warre, lord of the manor, founded and constructed a collegiate church for the parish in 1421. The church has since been rebuilt, and is now Manchester Cathedral; the domestic premises of the college house Chetham's School of Music and Chetham's Library

INDUSTRY
On the canal's banks, just outside the borough, the world's first industrial estate was created at Trafford Park. Large quantities of machinery, including cotton processing plant, were exported around the world. All this was expedited by the construction of the ship canal and the railway.

Heavy industry suffered a downturn from the 1960s and was greatly reduced under the economic policies followed by Margaret Thatcher's government after 1979. Manchester lost 150,000 jobs in manufacturing between 1961 and 1983. However the city continued to develop, and new sources of revenue were found.

The first Trades Union Congress was held in Manchester (at the Mechanics' Institute, David Street), from 2 to 6 June 1868. Manchester was an important cradle of the Labour Party and the Suffragette Movement. In fact, Manchester, together with Liverpool, has always been a center for left wing politics, including a large communist leaning segment.

Manchester Our Lady, St George and St Denys, Lancashire Genealogy
Here is A Comprehensive List of All Pre-1851 Manchester Parishes and Chapelries.

Parish History
Our Lady, St George and St Denys, Manchester, the Cathedral Church, is the ancient parish and was founded in Druidic times. Here is an 1848 historical perspective of Greater Manchester, by topographer, Samuel Lewis, taken from Topographical Dictionary of England. By 1880, Manchester had at least 125 chapels of ease and district churches/chapels attached to it, and which subdivided its boundary. See A Comprehensive List of All Pre-1851 Manchester Parishes and Chapelries.

The Collegiate Church of Manchester foundation in 1421 enabled the Dean and Fellows of the Collegiate Church to control the rapid growth of the Ancient Parish population to the pecuniary advantage of the Collegiate Church.

The lack of Manchester Churches and practice of the Collegiate church contributed to the formation of the Manchester Diocese in 1847 and subsequent Diocesan building program.

Manchester Our Lady, St George and St Denys is the Ancient Parish and perhaps the largest market town in the county of Lancashire and was quite probably, the largest ancient parish in the realm. Based on Mantell's excellent background, and on evidence of no marriage registers extant for Manchester's smaller chapels (called chapelries) and the town's smaller ecclesiastical parishes, the Cathedral then was where just about all Mancunians were married. The only other known churches in Greater Manchester allowed to marry couples were Manchester St John's Deangate and Manchester St Mary's.

A useful background article by Henry Mantell Manchester Cathedral explains the influence of the Dean and Fellows of the Collegiate church on Manchester Parish records.

Other place-names (see above "A Comprehensive List...") within the parish boundaries include but are not limited to the following places and townships:

Ancoats Ardwick Beswick Birch (see also Birch-in-Rusholme) Blackley Bradford Broughton-cum-Kersal Burnage Cheetham Chorlton cum Hardy Chorlton-upon-Medlock Crumpsall Denton Didsbury Droylsden Failsworth Gorton Haughton Heaton-Mersey Heaton-Norris Harpurhay Hulme Longsight Moss-Side Moston Newton (sometimes referred to as "Newton-Heath"; see also Birch in Rusholme) Ordsall Pendlebury Pendleton near Salford Paddington Redbank Salford Stretford Whalley Range Withington

Civil Registration
Birth, marriages and deaths were kept by the government, from July 1837 to the present day. The civil registration article tells more about these records (See under "England" main page).

There are two important online sites with indexes to the births, marriages and deaths. These are:


 * FreeBMD.- index to the GRO (General Register Offices) BMDs)
 * Lancashire Births, Marriages and Deaths at the Lancashire BMD - indexes to the local BMDs held at (the superintendent) registrar offices throughout most of Lancashire

If, for example, a certificate cannot be located in the FreeBMD index website, then try the local registrar offices website at Lancashire BMD to find it. often this proves successful in locating the appropriate certificate.
