There are approximately 20,000 extant letters written by Blessed John Henry Newman. These have been gathered together in 32 volumes by the long and painstaking work of members of the Birmingham Oratory. Mgr Strange, theologian and Newman scholar, has recently published a book entitled ‘J H Newman – A Portrait in Letters’ through Oxford University Press. In this engaging and informative talk, he speaks of the demanding but richly rewarding work involved in this endeavour and he gives us some fascinating insights into the life and writings of the famous convert and Cardinal of the 19th century.

We are pleased to announce the publication of the much anticipated biography of the Reverend Rowland Broomhead, one of the key figures in the Catholic revival in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The book is the result of many years of work by Mr Peter Lupton, of Norden near Rochdale, an old boy of St Bede’s College, Manchester, and is a ‘must-buy’ for anybody interested in the restoration of the English Catholic church.

The book has been published by Gracewing and is available from their website and from all good online booksellers at the price of £20.

The Salford Diocesan Archives are proceeding with a plan to digitise early parish registers from every one of churches in the diocese. The project is being supported by the diocesan hierarchy, and was given the support of the new Bishop, John Arnold in his recent Ad Clerum.

The project includes all baptism, confirmation, marriage and death registers deposited at Lancashire County Record Office, and those still held in the parishes, and covers dates up toRegisters of St Ann, Fairfield the mid 20th century.

As of the end of August 2015, the registers from all churches in the Borough of Manchester have been completed, with exception to Mount Carmel, Blackley, and this church is now scheduled for September.

The Boroughs of Stockport and Tameside were started in August, Heaton Norris has been competed and Denton is scheduled for September.

The Borough of Salford is also underway with only the Cathedral, St Peter’s, Greengate, St Thomas of Canterbury, Higher Broughton and St Edmund, Little Hulton, still being outstanding.

Once scanned and in PDF electronic book format, different registers are being passed on to the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society, the Catholic Family History Society, the Lancashire Online Parish Clerks, and to other individuals for indexing and transcribing.

For more information the Salford Diocesan Archives can be contacted through their website below.

The Catholic Family History Society exists to encourage research into Catholic ancestry. Although especially interested in English and Welsh Catholicism, we also have special interests in Irish, French, Polish and Italian ancestry etc. Anyone who is interested in Catholic ancestry and family history is welcome to join. Members receive Catholic Ancestor, our journal, three times a year. This contains members’ own researches and a wide range of helpful articles. An Annual Day Conference is held in Central London in October.

Volunteers around the country transcribe early Catholic Registers, and these are offered to members when available, in CD-ROM format and may also be available at your local Record Office. Non-members can also purchase these and all past publications.

Visit www.catholic-history.org.uk/cfhs for details of the contents of all past journals and publications and to download a membership application form.
