Hi Beth I replied earlier but my reply hasn't appeared on the list, so am wondering if it's vanished into outer space! Anyway, your reply to Olive answers some of my suggestions - the main one of which was to contact Oldham Local Studies! I'd also found two Sarah Ormondroyd marriages, but both in Yorkshire, in 1901 and wondered if you'd looked at them yet? I can't see the family, apart from married brother Joseph, in 1901 - could you let me have the piece number and folio in case it gives me any more ideas?
