Title: Walmersley cum Shuttleworth
Post by: Dundonald on Sunday 26 February 12 13:39 GMT (UK)
I have come to a complete brick wall with my x3 great grandfather John Fielding.
I know he was born in 1798 in Walmersley/Shuttleworth. I cannot find his parents.
He later married (21 May 1823) Hannah Mawdsley in St Mary's, Bury.
He was buried 22 Jun 1875 St John in the Wilderness, Bury.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will have to search Parish records.

I have ancestors married in Walmersley/Shuttleworth . I went to the Bury Reg. Office.
 I also went to Manchester Cathedral for the marriage cert of someone in Walmersley

Parents William and Sarah
Shows the abode as Marled Earth ( Not far over the hill from the Walmersley /Shuttleworth /Nangreaves area)

The children all seem to be baptised at Edenfield.
