Custodial history:
At the time that these records begin, Sale was a township in the parish of Ashton-upon-Mersey.At a townsmeeting on 27 August 1821 ‘it was unanimously agreed, that it is desirable to appoint a Select Vestry for the management of the poor of the township of Sale.’ In August 1836, following the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act, the Altrincham Poor Law Union was established, containing forty townships from the parishes of Bowdon, Ashton-upon-Mersey, Great Budworth, Cheadle, Knutsford, and Rostherne. The township of Sale was included in this Union.Following the 1848 Public Health Act and the 1866 Sanitary Act, Sale Local Board of Health was formed in 1867 and took over the government of the township.In 1894, following the Local Government Act of that year, the Local Board was replaced with the Sale Urban District Council. The Altrincham Poor Law Union was renamed the Bucklow Poor Law Union in 1895 and Sale remained within this until 1930, when it was dissolved.In 1930, the councils of Ashton-upon-Mersey and Sale were amalgamated. Both areas then came under the governance of Sale Urban District Council. On 21 September 1935 Sale was presented with a Charter of Incorporation, making it a municipal borough. The area was administrated by Sale Borough Council until 1974.Following the 1972 Local Government Act, the district was incorporated into the newly formed Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council, in the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester. The new council held its first meeting on 1 April 1974.
