Although Civil Registration started in 1837 it wasn't compulsory until 1870something and many weren't registered.

Cheshire / Re: macclesfield street name?
« on: Monday 03 May 10 16:15 BST (UK) »
When I lived there I used a wonderful shop for material and it was on Mill Street called 'Derby Street Warehouse' so I guess it was in that area which was parallel to Mill Street but not as far away as Churchill Way.

Derbyshire / Re: Pack Horse Routes Glossop to Holmfirth
« on: Thursday 22 April 10 15:48 BST (UK) »
I'm sure there would be a Pack Horse route from Glossop to Holme. In to-days roads, there is a road over Holme Moss from the Woodhead Pass to Holme and that coaches used the road because my gt grandfather had a Teetotal pub on the road and I have a photograph with a stagecoach outside. I know there is a road from Glossop to the Woodhead pass but at the moment I can't bring it to mind. The main Howards of Glossop are the Duke of Norfolk's family - are you related 
? The main Hotel in the Town Centre is the Norfolk Arms !!!
My relations 'came the other way' - both from Holmfirth (Father's late 19th century) and Flockton (Mother's late 18th century)
Woodhead and Tintwistle were in Cheshire until Greater Manchester was founded so you may find some help at Tameside Archives.

The Lighter Side / Re: Roman Numerals
« on: Thursday 22 April 10 15:17 BST (UK) »
In my teens I was in a CofE Church Choir and in the Psalter we used for the Psalms all the numbers were in Latin so I find it relatively easy and I read it as 1856.
