Ok, I'm not sure how this works, but I am researching KAY in Middleton, as well as WOLSTENHOLME, (sometimes spelled Woolstenhulme) also from Middleton. I have many questions, especially if anyone has access to records from before 1840 from the Middleton Parish registers. I would like so much to know where John Kay, a spinner, and Rachel Wolstenholme (born 1820) lived, went to church, etc. Rachel's parents were James Wolstenholme, a weaver, and Jane Greenhalgh. I did find their marriage register, dated Oct. 11, 1840. I particularly wish to know John Kay's birth date (he was married, being "of full age"), date of baptism, which might give me his mother's name, etc. Anything. They emigrated to Philadelphia, Pa. in 1845 with two small boys. This couple are my 3xGreat-Grandparents. Other surnames in Rachel Wolstenholme's background are Thorpe and Lancashire, of Walmersley, I believe. Many thanks, and greetings from Germany, where I, John and Rachel's American descendant, am currently living, Helen Kay Gelinas
