completed- can anyone help locate rodington heath

[em79]

Can anyone tell me about Rodington Heath is there anything to know?  Being born and raised East Yorkshire i know nothing!! My Dad's father's family were from here it seems i only found out recently and not from my dad.  Agricultural labourers or shepherds and miners of some kind according to documents i have just seen.  Can anyone tell me where it is exactly - i have found Rodington on the map.  They are the Hulse family which my dad's cousin has kindly informed me are originally from this area but later 19th century one moved to Manchester my gggrandad i think? i have copies of some certificates i.e. Reg dist: Wellington Salop - Encall Magna 11-12-1865 for a Henry Hulse mother being an Elizabeth Chetwood + Father Joseph Hulse.  i believe that he had a daughter Elizabeth Hulse who married someone with the surname Knowles my ggrandad, the first name elludes me and this is my grandad's surname and my maiden name, my grandad was from tyldesley or bolton in manchester i can't find his birth registry though(1913ish).  I am very new to this and i seem to spend most of my time going round in circles or hitting walls because there is not really anyone to ask left now. Is there anywhere else i should be looking?  any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you

I know you didn't ask for census but am hoping this information helps in your family history search.
Only followed up on Henry because he was mentioned in your query.

Happy New Year

and then go to Rodington Heath and it should bring up a map showing it just North of Rodington.

Thankyou so much. i really appreciate the effort on my behalf. i am very new to this and i'm still finding my feet.  The census information is really useful and something i do not have as i only get to use the internet for short times. still on dial up really should get broadband.  got a bit confused with the census online service pricing and stuff. but you have given me lots to go on and i've finally found rodington heath so thats good and thanks again.
in addition i have also discovered my ggrandfather's name was john william knowles in lancashire married in 1912 to Elizabeth Hulse at st johns wigan so finally getting somewhere i can go back from this now hopefully thank goodness.   Em.

I think your Elizabeth Hulse is my great grandad's sister his name is John Hulse born 1893 Tyldesley, his Parents were Elizabeth Chetwood and Joseph Hulse. We have found 12 brothers and sister all together for John Hulse born to mother Mary and father Henry Hulse.
John Hulse married Eidth in Bolton May 12 1917. My great grandad John and Eidth Hulse went on to have 12 children one of them being my Granny Hilda who Married my Grandad Robert Orrell. Most of John and Eidth Hulse family live in Bolton.
If anybody has more information on the Hulse's of Rodington/Bolton would be very greatfull.
