M140/1/27-33 were passed to the Library in September 1975, by Rev. A. E. Lucas along with those of the other churches which are part of the parish of the Church of the Saviour, Collyhurst - St. Oswald's, St. Catherine's and St. James's.

M14/2/6/1-7 were given to the Library in June 1989 by Miss Marjorie M. Boll of Portsmouth, Hants., whose father was headmaster of Albert Memorial C. of E. School in the 1930s.

The two parishes were united in 1968 by Order in Council, 26 July (London Gazette, 2 August 1968), Albert Memorial becoming the church for the united parish.

Albert Memorial was built in memory of Prince Albert on land given by Sir Oswald Mosley and was consecrated on 25 April 1864.

It was assigned a District from the George's, Manchester and Christ Church, Harpurhey cum Moston, by Order in Council, 7 January (London Gazette, 10 January 1865). In 1874 St. James's, Collyhurst, was formed from the parish by Order in Council, 28 November (London Gazette, 1 December 1874). Part of the parish was assigned to the new St. Augustine's, Newton Heath, in 1889 by Order in Council 5 July (London Gazette, 9 July 1889). The two parishes were re-united in 1968.

In 1972 the united parish along with the parishes of St. James, Collyhurst and St. Catherine with St. Oswald, Collyhurst, joined together to form the Church of the Saviour, Collyhurst. (Order in Council, 26 July, London Gazette, 28 July 1972.)
