Title: Wolstenholme Family of Heywood and/or Heap
Post by: thenance on Saturday 27 December 14 21:55 GMT (UK)
Hello from Ontario, Canada

    My ggg grandfather was James Wolstenholme. He was born April 17, 1836 in
Mill Heywood and sometimes recorded as Heap. He married Mary Evans Aug 3 1857 in
Bury. I am trying to determine who James' and Mary's parents were. Any help on this
would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nancy

Welcome to  RootsChat.   :)

James father was Richard Wolstenholme, a painter
Mary's father was Charles Evans, a picker maker

Have a look at http://lan-opc.org.uk/ for lots of transcriptions and extra information.
