The registers commence in 1794 when the de Trafford family opened their private chapel at Trafford Hall to the local population and when their chaplain Fr James Haydock began to minister to the Mission, which in those days stretched from Salford to Warrington and to Bolton in the North, also encompassing the area now in Trafford and parts of Cheshire. The first chapel was opened in 1806, the second in 1812, with the present church being opened in 1867.
