I am trying to find the parents of John Ramsden, my maternal gggrandfather. The earliest record of him is in the 1841 census age 24 born in Bolton, living in Side of Moor, Harwood, married to Sarah Hamer. I know there were numerous John Ramsdens around at that time, but wondered if anybody had access to earlier records, which may give any clues. It is possible that his father was also called John (a collier) married to Ann Hoping somebody can be of help. Regards, Michael Walker
