Arthur Oldham - Burnley

[SophieTopDog]

I am looking for Arthur Oldham, father of Annie Oldham.
When Annie married in 1935, her father's occupation eas described as Tea Blender, they lived in Celia Street, Burnley
I cannot find a census record for Arthur, with a similar occupation, only cotton weavers
Witnesses at the wedding included Arthur Oldham and Beattie Oldham
Would be grateful if someone could help me find this family.

When and where was Annie born?

Burnley 1912

What was dads occupation on her birth cert?
Did she have older siblings - thus helping locate the family on 1911 census?  Hopefully working back one step at a time.

Haven't got her birth certificate yet, I only have the two possible siblings, who were witnesses at the wedding
There are two possible birth records
1912 mothers name Allison
1913 mothers name Wilson
I do not know which is correct at this stage
