HI trying to get a lead on my 3x great grandfather.  On one of his son's birth certificates he gives his place of origin as Rochdale.  Is age varies between censuses so he was born at a guess between 1815 and 1825.  His death certificate gives his parents as James and Sarah.  I've hit another brick wall.

My 3x great grandfather was in Galashiels at the time of the 1851 census and appeared to stay in the area until his death in 1894.  He was a weaver so I am guessing he arrived there due to the boost in the textile industry brought by the railway.

I am struggling to work out where he came from as the census returns just list him as being born in England.  Does anyone have any ideas where I go from here?
