After 2 years break from this search here we go again.   I am searching for the birth date of James & Abraham Slack.  (1821-1823).  They were born in Knotbury staffs, although Notbury & Norbury Staffs have come up probably a wrong transcription . I have found James on all the census' .  I  have his marriage cert and also his death cert but cannot find any date of his birth.   I would like to find out who his parents were and where they came from, although I feel that Knotbury is the key.   I am presuming that Abraham is James' brother as there is only 2 years between them, and they are both on the 1841 census working in Wildborclough Macclesfield. 

Thank you .  The Longnor connection looks promising, I will look into it.    Also it states on his marriage cert to Margaret Kemp, that his father was also called James, but it does not say whether he was still alive on that date.  I am beginning to think there are other first names involved other than James.  I also think James had a younger brother called Abraham, and they worked together in Wildborclough.   

Thank you everyone for helping in my search.    You wanted to know who was mentioned on the wedding certificate.   James Slack (1824) was 30  when he married Margaret Kemp on the 18th January 1854 .   James 's father was listed also as James and was a labourer.  The witnesses were Henry James Bryan and Thomas Holland.  It does not say that James Snr was dec'd, so he must have still been alive on that date. 

Thank you everyone for all your information regarding the burial place of James Slack.  I am getting the feeling that he could have been either buried in or around Leek Staffs or Hyde Cheshire.   As you know on the census' it states that he was born in Norbury Staffs, which could have been Knotbury as it is very close to Wildborclough, and as to the Hyde connection, some of the Slack family lived in the area including his son.  The address in Hyde was Ivy Cottage Joel Lane Hyde Cheshire.  Perhaps he is buried in that area, although his wife Margaret who died in 1904, and died at her son's address in Hyde, is buried in Sutton Macclesfield .    All very mysterious.  Looking through all the searches, I can see that there are loads of James Slacks' in the winsford area, but I don't think these are connected.  The only problem I have, is that there are a lots of James Slacks' in the Sutton Macclesfield area as well.  I will have to get back to drawing board I think  Thanks everyone.
