Location of a Baptist Chapel in the district of Rochdale
« on: Tuesday 12 September 23 15:26 BST (UK) »
Please can you help?
I have a marriage certificate (1847) for John Brearley and Mary Butterworth. They give their residence at the time of marriage as Millers (or Millen) Street, Haywood and Hooley Bridge near Heywood.
The certificate says,  The Baptist Chapel, and what could then read, Holt St, but the writing is unclear.
Does anyone have any local knowledge
Many thanks

Don't suppose they are at the same address on the 1851 census?

If so you could look on the census for a Holt St - or even better post a snippet showing the wording to see if anyone can confirm it for you.

Thanks Millipede
They are living in York Street in 1851 with the first of their children (Ephratah)
I've taken a snippet, as suggested, and have attached.
Many thanks

Have found a Holt St in 1881

Use Alice Sharratt born 1847 Rochdale to find the page.  Somewhat later than 1847 but it might help with the area.

Here is some information but can’t see West Street/Holt Street mentioned for a chapel
https://www.heywoodhistory.com/2017/01/churches17.html

You can see the chapel here on a map - close to Miller Street and York Street

West Street us also close - to the left of Queen Street

Does the certificate definitely say the chapel is in Heywood?
Is there a minister’s name?

My ancestors were involved with two Baptist chapel in Rochdale - West Street and Newbold Chapels, West Street having been established in 1833, and Newbold in 1887.  Both were originally sited in different parts of the town meeting in rooms before the buildings were erected.  There is also a Heywood Baptist Church https://www.heywoodbaptist.org.uk/home.  I can't see from their website when this chapel was established. 
West Street chapel and its history are described fully in this article/book https://baptisthistory.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/WESTBOOK.pdf
