The records, both the originals and on film, are at Manchester Central Library. They have baptisms from 1660 to 1860. Try emailing them at:

There are a few FHC's in North Wales. Contact your nearest one and ask if they would be able to get the records for Horwich. They can ususally order them in for a charge of about £3.

You can find where they are located via the Familysearch website.

If he is not on the IGI, you need to check the Parih Records for Horwich. You may be able to order the microfilm at your local Family History Centre if you can't actually get to whichever Records Office covers Horwich.

You will need to access the appropriate Parish records........held in the County Records office.
