G'day everyone,
I'm looking for any advice anyone can offer me as to where else I can look for information about where my gg grandfather John CREWE (a Shoemaker) was born.
He was married at the Manchester Cathedral, Lancashire on 22 Dec 1828 to Elizabeth Preston who was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire (both of this Parish).
On the 1822 Pigot's Directory of Lancashire, John has NOT been recorded in either Manchester or Oldham.
On the 1841 Census he is living at Oldham with his wife and family and he is recorded as born out of county about 1803.
On the 1851 Census he is still living at Oldham with his family and he is recorded as born in Pembroke, Wrekin (!) about 1803.
He died 15 Mar 1852 in Oldham, age at death was 49 (ie born about 1803).
The only clue I have to his place of birth is the 1851 census and that in itself is a conundrum!
Can anyone please give me any advice as to what other resources exist that I should be checking that might help me determine his place of birth.
Thank you very much.
