The Lighter Side / Re: Clogger in Rochdale
« on: Sunday 18 June 17 21:59 BST (UK)  »
My "clogger" friends:
I want to thank you for your replies to my inquiry to my relative who lived in Rochdale.
I  find he lived at 45 Oldham Road, Rochdale in a 1841-51 Census.
On the Census it mentioned he was a Timber Merchant and Clog and Boot Dealer.
At that time he has 5 workers two apprentices.
Hi name was Fletcher Bolton. Born in Of Warrington, Lancashire, 1807 and died 1884. He is buried in Rochdale. I believe at St. Chad's.

Again, Thank You for your relies.

The Lighter Side / Clogger in Rochdale
« on: Saturday 17 June 17 22:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi Folks:

I had a relative who lived in Roahdale and I believe buried there.

In 1841-51 it says he was a "Timber Merchant and Clog and Boot Dealer" on Oldham Road, Rochdale, Lancaster, Manchester., England.

His name was Fletcher Bolton and married to Phoebe Robinson at St. Chad's Church, Rochdale in 1829.

My question is how well did a "clogger" do during this period and is there any history on this gentleman still around?

Many thanks,
Creary
