Thanks Sheila and Alli
I've found Syke and Hazel Grove on the 1851 ordnance Survey map .
Mary Sladen ,daughter of Daniel the slubber(does anyone know what a slubber did ?) married a John Howarth,father William the joiner from Rydings which is still rural and about a mile NE of Syke at St Chads in 1838(my ggg grandparents )
Her father Daniel Sladen b.1793,parents Daniel,b c1757and Sarah Brearley( m St Chads 17/07/1785), is the marriage to Betty in1817 and presumably  younger Daniel is her brother.
Now I need to find if Daniel 1757 is the son of Daniel or if there is a generation missing
Thanks again
Sue

This is a good site for old occupations.

SLUBBER - prepares the cotton for spinning by removing the slubs.

I assume a slub is a knot or thickening of the cotton.  I remember my mother, who was a knitter, saying there was a slub in the wool if it was 'thick' in parts or it had a flaw in.

If you need any info from Rochdale Archives, try:

They are extremely helpful and hold lots of records.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Just to clarify the Wardle & Wuerdle names.  Wardle is a distinct village about two miles north east of Rochdale. Wuerdle is a vague area on the road from Rochdale to Halifax but it borders with Wardle. The name is rarely used nowadays but the two places were formerly grouped together.

Wardleworth is again a distinct area, less than a mile east of Rochdale but separate from the other places.

Holly Green and Hazel Green rang a bell!  I think if you Google for Polly Green and Hazel Grove at Syke you'll get a result; there's a photograph posted by Dr Neil Clifton which shows Hazel Grove farm at the right hand side of the picture.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I'm now living back in Rochdale and go up Syke quite often. I never did manage to sort out the Sladens and Howarths. John Howarth lived at Rydings when he married in 1839. There is only a possible younger brother there in 1841. I have never found his father William the joiner so he could be dead ,nor John Howarth's baptism/birth around 1819 or his death in mid 1850s ( I've eliminated all the possible burials at.  St Chad's.)
If anybody reading this has any connections or suggestions please post them. Sue

For the information of anybody researching Sladens and Howarths in Rochdale I have now traced this  Sladen line back to Daniel Sladen 1704 who probably came from Littleborough.and to John Howarth born c.1740.
They always lived in the Healey Stones,Howarth Clough, Syke, Ringlows,Rydings areas and married their near neighbours. Sue
