Mill Bank, Rochdale
« on: Saturday 10 October 09 12:55 BST (UK) »
Could anyone tell me, please. where Mill Bank was in the Township of Butterworth, Rochdale?

Sarah Ainsworth of that address married Frederick Law in 1838.  Her father was Edward Ainsworth.  Up to 1827 they had lived at Wicken Hall at Ogden when Edward sold it.

Regards

Hi,

I have found a Mill Bank to the NE of Rochdale between Littleborough and Sowerby Bridge  ???

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&cr=countryUK%7CcountryGB&q=millbank%20rochdale&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

There is also some information on Genuki relating to Butterworth:-

Many thanks Luzzu for your help.

Initially I was expecting it to be South of Rochdale.  However looking at other bits of information I have suggest it may well be where you have found it.

My regards

Any indicator of where in Mill Bank it was?
I could have a look when I walk the dog.

Thanks Pauline
I think I have found it on the 1860 OS Map at ot about where Luzzu logged ir.  I have a feeling it may have been a single property.  In fact using the link to Mill Bank that Luzzu gave Google provides a couple of adverts for The Mill Bank (Restaurant).

Could this be it?  Will you thank your dog too if he finds it? :) ;)

Regards

I'd have said it was about 6 miles from Butterworth to Mill Bank o'er the tops, so not totally unreasonable to have gone over there to wed if you didn't take to the Halifax minister (3 miles to Halifax Parish Church).
Not that many substantial-sized buildings in it from that era though.

No clue as to the name of the place in Mill Bank though?

Hi,

I have not found anything else on Mill Bank but I did find this which might be of interest for you  ???.

[PDF] BUTTERWORTH HALL IN 1840.' CHAPTER XVII. bfd J5ouaea and ecd ...  File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML
WICKEN HALL. None of the houses in the Haugh or Ogden are of very great antiquity, a large portion of the land being waste and common until comparatively ...
www.link4life.org/.../C542D176-B771-B43F-7265D85A9CF9133E.pdf - Similar

Sorry I can't get the link to work  ::) but if you "Google" Wicken Hall, Ogden and look for something like the above in the results you will have not trouble finding it and the link should work from Google

It is an extract from a book about old houses and old families and on page 46 of the PDF it does mention Wicken Hall and the Ainsworth family.

Just thought it would be of interest.

Hi Luzzu,

I was just going to look for that - I had read it the other day when I first started looking. ;)
I think it said in there that someone died at Pit Bank near Oldham (this is from memory though).
Also in 1841 Edward Ainsworth and family are next door to the Laws in Salford - is that the father, Reiver?
