Could anyone tell me, please. where Mill Bank was in the Township of Butterworth, Rochdale?
Sarah Ainsworth of that address married Frederick Law in 1838. Her father was Edward Ainsworth. Up to 1827 they had lived at Wicken Hall at Ogden when Edward sold it.
Regards

Many thanks Luzzu for your help.
Initially I was expecting it to be South of Rochdale. However looking at other bits of information I have suggest it may well be where you have found it.
My regards

Thanks Pauline
I think I have found it on the 1860 OS Map at ot about where Luzzu logged ir. I have a feeling it may have been a single property. In fact using the link to Mill Bank that Luzzu gave Google provides a couple of adverts for The Mill Bank (Restaurant).
Could this be it? Will you thank your dog too if he finds it?

Hi,
I have not found anything else on Mill Bank but I did find this which might be of interest for you  .
[PDF] BUTTERWORTH HALL IN 1840.' CHAPTER XVII. bfd J5ouaea and ecd ... File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML
WICKEN HALL. None of the houses in the Haugh or Ogden are of very great antiquity, a large portion of the land being waste and common until comparatively ...
www.link4life.org/.../C542D176-B771-B43F-7265D85A9CF9133E.pdf - Similar
Sorry I can't get the link to work  but if you "Google" Wicken Hall, Ogden and look for something like the above in the results you will have not trouble finding it and the link should work from Google
It is an extract from a book about old houses and old families and on page 46 of the PDF it does mention Wicken Hall and the Ainsworth family.
Just thought it would be of interest.

I'll try to stop now.
In the article, I think it said that Edward died at Pit Bank. ** Just re-read the article- it says that Edward sold Wicken Hall to James Grimshaw and Edward died 1841 at Pit Bank. However, with this large family, Reiver, I don't know if this is your Edward or an uncle.
The following then relates to the Edward who is living beside Sarah and Frederick Law in 1841 in Salford.
I have found two of the other daughters of Edward, I think, living with Jesse Ainsworth and wife in Birkenhead in 1851. Ellen is born Rochdale and Ann F is born Manchester.
No relationship is given but they are 'gentlewomen' and he is an 'esquire' as occupations.
141 has Jesse and Hannah living at Pit Bank, Oldham so for my part, as an Oldhamer, the mystery is solved.
Sadly, though - not for Mill Bank.

Many many thanks to you all for becoming involved in the quest
Edward Ainsworth and family lived at Wicken Hall as did his father before him. Sarah - who married Frederick Law - was his eldest child. Wicken Hall was sold in 1827 and Edward died in late 1841. He, his wife and members of the family are buried in the chapel graveyard of the Ogden Particular Baptist Chapel of which they were members.
Mention has been made of Jesse Ainsworth. He was Edward's brother and lived at Pit Bank (Hall), Oldham.
Sarah married Frederick Law in June 1838.
She was living 'Mill Bank in the township of Butterworth'
He was living at 'Hamer Cottage in the township of Wardle and Wardle
The marriage took place in 'The Providence Chapel, District of Rochdale'
I knew that Pit Bank was a large property so thought that Mill Bank may be as well. I thought that maybe Mill Bank was where Edward and family were living after being at Wicken Hall. Is the Mill Bank found too near Sowerby Bridge to be in Butterworth township?
I have found (in 1841) Edward and family living next door to Frederick Law and family at Ordsall Terrace, Salford.
Regards
Reiver

Hi,
I did check the 1841 and 51 street indexes for Rochdale which includes Butterworth and there was no Mill Bank listed.
