  • District of Birth

    I now have the correct family for my great grandmother x2 but I'm unsure about exactly where they would have been in residence in 1841.

    If the civil reg. dist was Prestwich Cum Oldham
    The Hundred was Salford
    & the Reg dist. was Ashton & Oldham with the Sub reg. Royton,

    What area/district would she have been born in please?

    Given that most of my ancestors occupied the Salford/Manchester area.

    If it helps any in 1854 when GGM x 2 married her address was Back Prussia street and her spouse was at Pott street.....

    Unfortunately I am not finding the family in 1851, as yet.

    Is it the Nelson family you are referring to - if so is this one a possible
    1851 census HO107; Piece: 2226; Folio: 472; Page: 31

      Jen, if that is the family you are looking for, it gives a few of the children's birth as Crompton.
      If you look at the description of the enumeration district for the 1841 census you will see it includes the words "and along the footpath to Low Crompton to where it edges the boundary"


      The district appears to be Royton which would come under the registration district of Ashton under Lyne (1837-1848) and then Oldham (1848-1933)

        Oh, many thanks for that Elaine, I often forget to look under the description of areas but it does look like my family, with a couple of new additions and a couple of minuses lol!. My GGm x2 is no longer there nor her brother Joseph 18 and 19.....so will have to look for them now.
        Great work Elaine.
