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.
