Sandiford of Radcliffe, Lancashire

From different sources we knew our 5th G-Grandmother, Lydia Sandiford was born in 1777, daughter of James and Alice Sandiford, in Radcliffe, Lancashire. Initial searches for her baptism record yielded little, but when I dropped the "i" in the surname we were able to zero in on it.
Entered as Sandford, here is Lydia's baptism record from the parish book:

St. Mary's of Radcliffe

4 May 1777

Lancashire Parish Records - Free Online Resource

 OnLine Parish Clerks project for the County of Lancashire extracts and preserves records from various parishes and provides free online access to that information along with other data of value to family and local historians conducting research in the County of Lancashire.

I have found this site to be a treasure trove of information and was able to greatly enhance some of our family 'branches'.  Surnames I am researching in this area:  Warburton, Sandiford, Barlow, and affiliates in the parishes of Radcliffe & Prestwich.
