Owler Hall
« on: Tuesday 01 July 08 13:35 BST (UK) »
Does anybody have any information on Owler (or Awler ) Hall Tottington. I have a relative Ann Dearden who has this as her place of birth in 1854 but have been unable to find any record of the place. Her father is down as being a dyer which makes me unsure as to what sort of residence the hall was
Thank you

Is it definitely Tottington? Not Tattenhall, Cheshire ?

There were extensive calico printing works at Tottington Lower End in the 1850's (Whellan's Directory of Manchester & Salford, 1853 p992) - perhaps that's where he worked http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/index.asp

Hi,

I checked the 1851 and 61 census indexes for the place and the nearest one was in Bamford (Heap) and that was Owle(r) hole.  I wonder if it was somewhere in between Walshaw and Woolford.  There is an Owler Barrow there.   Huh

Sorry,
Mo

Hi

Can it be Lightowler Hall?  a bit nearer Rochdale, but in the wilds ner there?  I think I've seen it written 'Towler for short.

I'll have a look in some of my old books.

Best wishes
