If you are lookiong for parents, might be possible to find family in 1911 census if you post all the details. Depends how common the name is!

Baptism details or burial details might give even information to confirm your thoughts.

1911 census records the number of children born in a marriage.....and the number who have died.......

if you know the church where the baptism / burial may have taken place this site may be of use

There are a lot of (unindexed) Greater Manchester OPRs at:

https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1®ion=EUROPE

They're under
England, Lancashire – Cheshire – Yorkshire Parish Registers, 1603-1992
but, in spite of the title, it's really Greater Manchester.

I sent an email to the local register office when I wanted to just verify that a baby, whose birth and death registration was within a short time of each other, was a member of my family; the staff were very helpful and quick in sending confirmation.

have you tried looking on the site that mgnv and I gave you.

there are images of burial registers and baptisms at several churches in salford and Chorlton cum Hardy (but not Chorlton on Medlock)

Try googling registration districts for chorlton and salford, their should, hopefully, be email addresses for register offices for both.
I was fortunate in that "my" babies' births and deaths were registered at the same place.
