 Here are a list of Macclesfield Forest St 
Stephen's Baptisms, mostly from 1756-1812, in surname order. 
 The registers have omissions, some years being 
incomplete and some of the entries have no child's name, surname or parents 
name. Care has been taken to ensure entries are correct, but original records 
should be checked. Often the baptismal register contained the child's place of 
residence, sometimes even a particular farm. (not included in this index) Most 
of the people who used this parish church were from Macclesfield Forest and 
Wildboarclough, although there were people from Sutton and Saltersford baptising 
their children here.
