Place of residence, and job title help please. 1850's, England.
« on: Sunday 19 March 23 14:50 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I am tracing the baptism of three siblings at the same time in Shaw, Lancashire.
I cannot read:

1) Place of residence (left column)
2) Father's occupation (right column).

I am only in need of the info for the top three ; I have screenshot the ones below so you can compare the handwriting to get some clues.

Local names are Shaw, High Crompton, Rochdale, Burn Edge...but it doesn't look any of those!

Original is at : https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/2960/images/40364_605905_0276-00038?pId=1703263

film page number 37. Paper page number 62.
Many thanks

The pub looks as though it could have been there in 1853, but most of the houses look modern.
