Does anyone have any memories of Threepits in Middleton? Some of my relatives, the Styles family, lived there from the 1920's until they were demolished (maybe about the 1970s?). They were originally the pitmens cottages for the Hopwood pits. My grandparents were Lawrence and Gladys Lily Styles.

Need information regarding Odd Fellows Arms, 13 Thorpe Street, Rhodes, Middleton. It was in existence in the 1800 but apparently no longer. If anybody has information and even photographs regarding this pub and/or the Foxall family living there at that time, I would appreciate having it.

I am stuck on a family called Brown who use the middle name of ``Crossland``, Robert Crossland Brown, FredCrossland Brown(Robert`s son) Robert C Brown has put his birth place as Beslow,Derbyshire in 1901/1891/1881/ Then in 1871 he is listed as R.C.Brown born in Oldham aged 27, just married to an Elizabeth, living in Oldham both are working in Cotton Mills.I think the address is Hobson Street, St.Peter`s Ward.Oldham So I should be able to find him aged 17 on the 1861 and 7 on the 1851, I wish!!!!!! Then I might have his parents. We think his father could be called Fred Brown, they were mostly all born in Oldham Jessie

Could SKS tell me if there is a way to view the Register Entries of Edmonton Workhouse pre 1851, apart from hiring a Genealogist or visiting London. I have three CHAPPELL children residing in the workhouse in 1851 Census and would like to find out any possible information about them from their entry into this place. Any help most appreciated. Kind Regards Helen

Hi Nick I can't get into it either. Maybe (hopefully) it's just a temporary glitch - I've used it within the last couple of weeks without problems.

Hello all, Can anyone help! I’ve been trying to get into the Newspaper Index on the Rochdale Library site but it won’t let me in. Is it no longer available or am I doing something wrong? Best wishes from a wet and windy Blackpool Nick Entwistle (Looking for ENTWISTLE, KAY, GRAY, LEACH and ASHTON in and around Middleton).

Hi Marshall, I have photocopies from the baptism registers at St Leonards 1807-1812. I have "part" transcribed these, but from the 2,000 baps there are 235 without names at present as the films are very poor. Will be checking the original registers from this week. However, there are 2 x Edmund Hiltons, one in the year you req. 22 May 1808. Edmund s/o Joseph and Mary Hilton. Weaver of Middleton. 14 Jan 1810. Edmund s/o James and Alice Hilton. Weaver of Thornham. Hope this helps. Doreen.

Oldham Local Studies have an index for the 1841 census for their area. It may be worthwhile sending an email to ask if they could give the ref numbers. Doreen.

Hi Keith Some time ago, frustrated by continuously having to trawl through the same areas of the 1841 Census for Oldham below Town on CDs, I made a "sort-of" index of surnames. It's by no means comprehensive, but did include a few GREENHALGH families, which I'll list below. All are in Oldham below Town HO107 547/6 Folio 5 Page 1 King Street Mary GREENHALGH, 65, Inn Keeper, Y Martha GREENHALGH, 30, Y Mary GREENHALGH, 25, Y Richd.

Someone else may have an 'official' Name Index for the 1841 or may be able to offer you some other straws to clutch at... I do hope so! Good luck.
