Hi Katherine
I have a copy of the book "The History of Chadderton Pubs" by Rob Magee.

I have found that Hillock appears to be some where along Foxdenton Lane, Chadderton near to where Foxdenton park is now, i think?

There is a mention of a James Whitehead who ran a pub called the Punch Bowl at Hillock but there is no write up about this pub.
 A James Whitehead is also mentioned as running the Sportsmans Arms, which is actually on Denton Lane, the Cow and Calf on Foxdenton Lane and the Linnet which is now called the Railway and Linnet which is on Grimshaw Lane. Grimshaw lane is at the end of Foxdenton Lane.
I have re-read the write  ups about these pubs but it is all a bit confusing and it could be that there was more than one Whitehead family in the area that were running these pubs.
Hope this helps and has not confused you like it has me

Hi Cntrygrl and Isabel

Thankyou so much your translations have helped a lot.
I have tried using an online translator without much sucess, i think because i couldn't read any of the words properly.

I have been able to find Helein's birth/baptism and she appears to have been about 15 yrs old at the time of her marriage, i haven't found Ollivier's birth yet but now i have got a name for his mother it should make it easier, i hope.

Thank you once again
Sal

Hi Gene-Genie
On the Jersey Heritage Trust Website there are baptisms for the three children mentioned on the 1881 census.

http://jerseyheritagetrust.jeron.je/

Artelus Down (Archelaus) born 27/5/1856 Baptised 11/6/1856
Ann Down born 7/1/1858 Baptised 27/1/1858

There are also five other children with the same parents

The mothers maiden name would tie in with the 1861 census that Tati found with a mother in law Elizabeth Burrow.

The references for the baptisms which were all at St Helier Church (Town Church)
