Hello, thank you very much for your help.

I think that is a very good match.  It is always creates some doubt when details like occupation and age (1 month vs 1 year appear).  John's occupation was manufacturer on his marriage certificate in 1839, and woollen weaver on his daughter Alice's birth in 1844, which are similar to clothier in this census record.  I was surprised to see him as a publican on son Sam's birth certificate in April 1841.

What do you think his residence is on the census entry that you found?  Acres??

It isn't Hey Bank, the address that he gave when he registered Sam's birth 5 weeks before the census.  I checked the enumerator's schedule and that doesn't mention Hey Bank.  I also looked at every address in book 8 and there is no Hey Bank.  It must be in one of the other books covering Delph.  It seems strange that they moved weeks after the birth.

Thanks again for your help,

Paul

Hello, I cannot find my ancestor John Buckley on the 1841 census.  I hope that someone here can help (please).

He was John Buckley.  I have found him on the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census (in Oldham) which all show he was born c1810 in Saddleworth (or Quick).

He married Hannah Buckley (minor) at Rochdale parish church on 09 May 1839.  The censuses show that Hannah was also born in Saddleworth (or Quick).  From 1851 and 1861 her year of birth is c1820, but c1813 from 1871 and c1818 from 1881.

The 1851 census shows several children, including John Buckley (age 11 born Quick) and Samuel Buckley (age 9 born Quick).

I have a birth certificate for Sam Buckley born 24 April 1841 at Hey Bank, nr. Delph son of John publican & Hannah Buckley formerly Buckley.  This birth is just weeks before the 1841 census was taken.  However I have looked on the Ancestry census indexes and failed to find them.  Can anyone help please?

John is on my Ancestry tree here if it helps:  https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/202600237/person/272639749806/facts

Thanks.

Hello, I am struggling to find someone on the 1871 census in Oldham.  I hope that someone can help.

Probate records show that John Buckley, of 183 Manchester Street, Oldham, died 20 Sep 1873 at 183 Manchester Street.
His will mentions:
- sons John Gaunt Buckley (executor) and Lewis Buckley.
- daughters Sarah (wife of Edward Swindells) and Esther (wife of Samuel Horrocks).
Witnesses William Wrigley of Manchester Street & John Buckley of 148 Middleton Road.
The will itself is not dated.  It was proved on 31 October 1873.

I believe the he is the John Buckley in the GRO index in 1873Q4 age 60 Oldham RD (8d/423) - so born c1813.

I would like to find him on the 1871 census. 

I have looked for him on Ancestry but not found a good match.  Buckley is a very common name and there are lots of possibilities.

My ancestor, John Buckley (the executor of his will) and wife Hannah, are 148 Middleton Road (RG10/4097/43).

There is another John and Hannah Buckley at 80 Middleton Road (RG10/4104/65).

Please could someone help me find John Buckley of Manchester Street in 1871.

Thanks for your help.

Maddy, thanks very much for the information about the Lady Harewood and the surgeon's journal.

It is amazing what can be found if you know where to look.

There is also a little about the Lady Harewood's three voyages to Australia on wikipedia. 

Thanks again,

Paul
