Anyone researching Greenhough in Cawthorne?

[Holmemoss]

George Greenhough married Hannah Hoyle at Cawthorne on 6 Feb 1815 and had four children of whom I am aware, all baptised at the Wesleyan Chapel in Cawthorne :

Harriet, baptised 14 Jan 1816

John, baptised 21 Sep 1817

Sarah, baptised 22 Feb 1824

George, baptised 9 Jun 1830

They all then seem to disappear off the face of the earth so I should be interested to know if anyone else is researching Greenhoughs in the Cawthorne area.

I took a look at the 1841 census out of curiosity.  There is a family matching the names you give living in Stockport, Hyde.

George age 45  labourer
Hannah age 50
Harriet age 25  cotton weaver
Hannah age 15      "           "
Sarah age 15          "          "
George age 11

No John though.

Thank you.

They obviously didn't disappear off the face of the earth - I just need new specs!

I have looked on FreeBMD for Cheshire but there are no marriages or deaths for any Greenhough or Greenhow.

I did find a marriage of a Sarah Greenhough registered in Wortley in 1845 so I wonder if they came 'home'.

There are 2 entries for John Greenhough in 1841.  One is shown as being born Scotland, Ireland etc.  The other is as follows

John Greenhough age 25
Sarah  age 20
Mary  age 4
Ann age 2
Joseph age 5 months.

Living in Street Side, Tong, Drighlington, Bradford.

One of the problems is that I have seen several different spellings of the surname Greenhough including Greenhow and Greenhaugh and, on one occasion, possibly Greenhalch.

Thank you for your help and I now have something to go on if and when I resubscribe to Ancestry.
