You have obviouly used Lancashire opc and probably seached Astley but discovered not much before Britchet.

I notice that several of the records I have given you come from St Mary Virgin Leigh Lancashire,

Try this

http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/cgi-bin/mkindx.cgi?location=%2CL5%2C1&parish=Leigh&type=Parish&community=

That was a search for that parish and surname France.

or this
http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html

this will take you to the Leigh page and registers for St Mary the Virgin. There are lots there .
