Stead family of Rochdale
« on: Monday 26 September 05 08:01 BST (UK) »
Is there any one out there who has information of the Stead family of Rochdale. Lancashire. England.
My husband was born in Rochdale as was his father, but I can't find any info on relatives and anscestors. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

What is your father-in-law's name and date of birth?  Unless he was born before 1901, you're probably going to have to start by getting a copy of his birth certificate.  Once we get back to 1901, we can start looking on censuses for earlier family.

Have you tried FreeBMD and Lancashire BMD?

There are plenty of folk on RootsChat who'll gladly help, but we need a little more info!  ;D
