Title: TAYLOR / ROBINSON - visiting Lancashire
Post by: daniel3140 on Sunday 04 March 18 17:14 GMT (UK)

Hi - I am planning a trip to Lancashire for some ancestry research and looking for guidance on where to begin. I would first like to find originals of the attached records.

John TAYLOR (b. 08 Feb 1802.): hoping to find details of when he died and of parents (John and Sarah).

Nanny ROBINSON: John Taylor's second wife. Hoping to find details of birth / death, along with parent's names.

Their marriage and children's baptism seemed to all take place at Greenacres Chapel in Oldham. I'm not sure if it still exists, but would love to visit that area as well.

Any assistance or guidance is much appreciated! Thanks.

Hello,

Here is some information about records
https://www.oldham.gov.uk/info/200391/sources/657/parish_registers

John and Nanny married at St Mary's the Parish Church of Oldham. The church is a few minutes walk from the Local Archives.

Are these two men the same person?
I can see John and Nanny Taylor at 1851 2241/586/28 living at Crowley and John is born Oldham. John is born about 1814 though.

There is another one here
1851 2241/488B/13

But John is younger again. They are in the right area though.
