Dear Karen Manchester Central Library holds a lot of Catholic marriage records. If you go on the Manchester Library site under the local history and archives section there is a list of churches for which they hold records. Some are also at the Preston Records Office. If you have an idea of which area they were married in you should be able to find churches in thos areas. Best of luck with your search Maria

Dear Karen, If they were living in the Chorlton area, it's possible that they got married at St. Vincent's R.C. Church, Openshaw. The church is now closed but see the other replies for whereabouts of records. (I got my grandparents' marriage cert. online - they were married there)
