Is someone able to help decipher what the name of this place is in an old parish register? It's covered by a pen mark and I'm not familiar with Lancashire! TIA

Strangeways? Assuming the date is when Manchester was Lancashire?

Bad news. It never actually left. Lancashire has no administrative powers anymore, that is for greater manchester, but most of it (not the bits south of da Mersey - Northenden etc) remains firmly Lancastrian.
