Church Records
Throughout the half millennium that there has been a church at Deane, records have been kept. Some we have retained and others are put in archive. Rev Roger Jackson, a previous Rector, realised what a wealth of information we had in our possession but due to environmental concerns decided a more secure and suitable storage was needed.
In 1982 many of our records were transferred to the National Archive at Manchester.
Lancashire Records Office also have information - look under 'D' for Deane Church. Additionally, information has been deposited there under personal 'collections': Hulton of Hulton and Kenyon of Peel
Burial records from March 1887 are kept at the church. A fee is payable for a search, details from http://www.cofe.anglican.org/lifeevents/ministry/workofmindiv/dracsc/ffandaw/
