Hi

Can't help with census info without dates of birth etc.

Try this link http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/TyldesleywithShakerley/

If you follow the link for churches you will see St John's, Mosley Common and a link to a map for the same.

Hope this helps.

Just had a quick look for dates of birth - elizabeth born 1888 off top of my head but i do have some info on her it's mainly a problem with her husband he died ww1 he is aged 22 on certificate in 1912 and she is 24 so i assume he must be born around 1890. if it helps thanx again

Elizabeths father was a Henry Hulse and his wife was Mary Augusta nee Rigby.  they lived in tyldesley. he was a miner at the time of elizabeth's birth and is listed on her marriage as the same.
John William Knowles' father William was registered as deceased. i have no idea what he did for a living or when he died or any details of his family at all

Hi again

This is the only one John W Knowles I can find born about 1890 with a father William living in the Tyldesley area.

1901 - RG13/3594 F13 P18
6 Smallbrook Road, Leigh

William Knowles 38, Coal Miner, b Hindley
Mary 36, b Barrow
Joseph 11, Drawer in Coal Mine, b Hindley
John W 11, b Riap
Sarah 7, b Hindley
James 4, b Daubhill
Mary E 1, b Westhaughton
All born Lancashire

Do any of them appear as witnesses on the cert?

Sheila
