All the above places were anciently Chapelries of the enormous parish of Prestbury and have at one time or another been separated from it, Prestbury parish now retaining only the Chapelries or townships of Kettleshulme, Saltersford, Lyme and Adlington. There are are no old Registers belonging to Adlington.
Saltersford Registers are kept at Prestbury and contain no Marriages. With the Registers given in this volume Macclesfield now remains the only other Chapelry of this enormous parish which has any Marriage Registers not printed. These we hope to deal with in the next volume, after which we hope to continue the Prestbury Marriages from the date (17S9) at which they were discontinued in Vol. IV. Marriages occurring before and after the ratnge-dates of the various Chapelry Registers must be sought for in the Registers of Prestbury, the " Mother Church."
