Just a few more things - in conclusion perhaps? (assuming of course that we have the right people here
:
There was at least one other child to John and Rachel Jackson who is not shown in census:
1861 George Pennell Jackson born June 1861 and baptised September 1861
(There could be a death but without the middle name it is difficult to trace)
Rachel Howarth and George Dean - marriage 30 June 1855both give address as Becket Meadow Oldham
George Dean - full age labourer Father William Dean Charcoal Burner
Rachel Howarth full age spinster Father James Leonard Weaver
witnesses Arthur Cocker and James Fielden
This shows the link for Rachel Howarth and Rachel Dean - father James Leonard Weaver
There doesn't seem to be a death for George Dean 1855- 1860 in Oldham
The addresses- Vineyard/Becket Meadow are in the Lees Road/Glodwick area, although the marriage to Robert Winterbottom and her address is a different part of town.
William may not have spent much time in Yorkshire but perhaps longer than in Oldham
The Winterbottoms were also in Bradford.
Whittle le Woods is quite some distance from Oldham as is Liverpool so perhaps work in all cases was the draw.
I just wish we could find out if Bridget and Rachel are the same person
The Howorth family from 1851 just seem to disappear.
