I have tried many different searches for my Rothwell family before 1841, and am not having much success, i can find nothing on online Parish clerks and only sparce info on family search and am getting a bit frustrated. i live in New Zealand so personal searches in record offices are impossible so I can only rely on online resources. Can anyone recommend where I could find any more info or does anyone have access to parish records in this area?

My GGGGrandfather was Joseph Rothwell born about 1795 in Newton Heath ? Manchester he married Sarah ? in about 1820 but not sure where.

I have a record of a Josiah Rothwell christened in 1822 with Joseph and Sarah parents at Cathedral, Manchester. does not appear on any future census.

Richard, my GGGrandfather was born about 1834 in Middleton, but cannot find his details on family search IGI at all.
Elizabeth born 1826, according to IGI christened at Cathedral, Manchester but appears on 1841 as only 5 yrs old.

Rachel born 1840 and christened 1840 and also on Census.

There is a Sarah born circa 1829 on the 1841 but no record of birth anywhere and margaret born 1827 ish
 Joseph was a Madder dyer.

In 1851 Joseph/Sarah/Richard/Elizabeth and rachel are alone in a house in Heywood. Heap.
Can anyone please help make any sense of this family? Thank you for looking.

Hey, thanks everyone for all your help. I did have the census records but the IGI information was very useful. thank you all so much. Would still love to know how Josiah fits in to it all though and why Elizabeths birth has moved around so much.
Thanks again
