Hi
I am pretty ashamed of myself and my lack of knowledge in relation to British geography north of the Watford Gap
I am researching a friends family, at her request. At present I am looking at the Gournell family living in Hull.
I have a Thomas Henry Gournell b. 1849/51 in Oldham Lancs. There are in fact 2 Thomas Gournells (although both spelt Gornell b. in june qtr of 1849) born in Oldham.
But there is also a Thomas Henry Gornell b. Dec 1850 in Preston.
So far I haven't found Thomas Henry b. in Preston on census returns nor have I found an infant death.
What I am actually asking is could the latter, born in Preston be the one I am looking for?
Is Preston district close to Oldham?
Please can anyone give me their views on this. Thank you
