Persons looking for Oldhams in UK should probably use the Family History Library Catalog to determine whether Salt Lake City has the 1881 census (and other censuses) for the UK. www.familysearch.org A whole floor in the FH Library at Salt Lake City is devoted to British films, maps, microfiche, and BOOKS and all kinds of finding aids. Also this is an excellent website for links to genealogy groups all over UK and I believe Ireland. http://www.genuki.org.uk/ Happy hunting!
