Charles SIDEBOTTOM, son of PETER and ELIZABETH

[WideEyedGirl]

Hello all,

I'm having a problem locating a baptism for Charles Sidebottom. From his burial record, he was born about 1752, and according to his children's baptism records at Wentworth in Yorkshire, Charles's parents were Peter Sidebottom and his wife Elizabeth. Peter is said to be a cordwainer of Wheily? Whelley? in Cheshire (it's hard to read on the documents, and I don't know of many places in Cheshire - but one says it's near Stockport).

Despite this information, I can't seem to find any possible baptisms for Charles. I have been able to find two possible marriages of a Peter to an Elizabeth/Betty in Cheshire, but I don't know which would be the correct one.

Any help with this would be great - it's the first time my ancestry research has taken me to Cheshire.

Thank you,
Holly

Could the location be Woodley?

Or could it be Stayley a township in the ancient parish of Mottram-in-Longdendale?
Do you know if the family were Non-Conformist?

These are some images of the baptism records - mentioning the parent's names and where they were from, it might make it easier to read the name of the place if I show the records themselves.

I'm afraid I do not know if the family were non-conformist.

Possibly Whaley Bridge, although I would not associate it particularly with Stockport, even though it's not that far away.

Could it be Werneth.

Thank you, both seem like possibilities, despite these suggestions I still haven't been able to locate any possible baptism records for Charles

I wonder if this could be a family member. It is the right area for Werneth.
