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 also went to Manchester Cathedral for the marriage cert of someone in Walmersley

Are you sure about the Walmersley/Shuttleworth birth in 1798?
There is a Baptism for a John Fielding in November 1797 on Lan. OPC. at St Bartholemhews in Whitworth.
Parents William and Sarah
Shows the abode as Marled Earth ( Not far over the hill from the Walmersley /Shuttleworth /Nangreaves area)
