The following list of 'Lancashire parishes" is | The following list of 'Lancashire parishes" is a list of its 75 ancient parishes and their approximately 400-plus ecclesiastcal churches, chapels of ease, chapelries, district chapels, parochial chapelries,etc. | ||
However, to help you determine all chapelries within an ancient parish, see or view the [["Lancashire Ancient Parishes"]] page or, click on any of the ancient parishes listed below (see double asterisked ["**"] names below); then click the "''Comprehensive List of Parishes and Chapelries''" link found at the top of each parish's ''main page''. You will find each chapel listed with 1) the year it was created, 2) the name of the ancient (or 'mother') parish to which it was attached, and 3) with a hyper-link which takes you directly to the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC) for available microfilms to view for that chapel or parish's registers of christenings, marriages and burials, etc. | However, to help you determine all chapelries within an ancient parish, see or view the [["Lancashire Ancient Parishes"]] page or, click on any of the ancient parishes listed below (see double asterisked ["**"] names below); then click the "''Comprehensive List of Parishes and Chapelries''" link found at the top of each parish's ''main page''.

Critically, and unlike all other England counties (except Cheshire, parts of West Yorkshire, Greater London and most big cities), identifying, listing and then researching Lancashire's parishes used to require that <u>you</u> thoroughly study to identify <u>''all''</u> chapelries attached to each ancient parish. Until now, this was quite difficult to accomplish, and yet a ''crucial step ''in order to conduct thorough research in Lancashire because it required using several reference aids, guides and tools to compile | Critically, and unlike all other England counties (except Cheshire, parts of West Yorkshire, Greater London and most big cities), identifying, listing and then researching Lancashire's parishes used to require that <u>you</u> thoroughly study to identify <u>''all''</u> chapelries attached to each ancient parish. Until now, this was quite difficult to accomplish, and yet a ''crucial step ''in order to conduct thorough research in Lancashire because it required using several reference aids, guides and tools to compile comprehensive, thorough list. Each Lancashire parish averaged close to 8 chapelries (additional separate churches with baptism and etc., registers) each. The biggest challenge is Manchester--which is the largest parish in England with its 150-plus chapelries lying within its boundary! <u>'''''No''''' ''single'' reference aid, tool, or source is complete or accurate in identifying all chapels of ease within each ancient parish.</u> However, here in the Lancashire Wiki pages, you will find that this task has been done for you with all the chapelries identfied and listed <u>for</u> you. How is this done? You will note that eah chapelry page "Parish History" precisely indicates to which ancient parish to which it is attached. Conversely, each parish page identifies by name each and every chapelry lying within it boundary. As new and the hard-to-find chapelries come to light, are added to the "Comprehensive List of Chapelries" (found in ancient Parish page). | ||
''The above "Comprehensive Lists", ''(see links found in each parish's Main page)'', are printable and provide as complete a listing of all chapels in each parish as may be found in one single place--anywhere.'' | ''The above "Comprehensive Lists", ''(see links found in each parish's Main page)'', are printable and provide as complete a listing of all chapels in each parish as may be found in one single place--anywhere.'' | ||
