Tameside Metropolitan Borough was created in 1974 from the following towns:
• Ashton-under-Lyne
• Audenshaw
• Denton
• Droylsden
• Dukinfield
• Hyde
• Mossley
• Mottram-in-Longdendale
• Stalybridge
We are the only family history group meeting in Tameside and act as a focal point for the whole of the borough. Tameside straddles the Lancashire/Cheshire border with half of the towns actually in Lancashire. This can create some rather complex boundary issues when dealing with pre Tameside sources and parishes.
NEW - We now meet on the fourth Thursday afternoon of each month at the https://www.4cashton.org.uk/ in Ashton open from 1.00pm to start at 1.30pm.
