Electoral Roles in Failsworth 1906 to 1935

[dobfarm]

Prestwich was the registration district which covered Failsworth.
Then Failsworth became Manchester North.
Now it is Oldham.

Prestwich district also went to Manchester.
Now it's part of Bury.

Just to keep us on our toes 

From 1934 went to Heywood part of Bury

John's youngest childs birth certificate that went into care will give John's name -if he had say John as his middle name-?? also may give a last known address or if John died months or still alive before the child was born etc. Mary may have died in childbirth ?

The date the children went into child care may be because both parent had died before that date

I haven't got Ivy's (the youngest of John and Mary's children) birth certificate, but I do have the information from her marriage cert..
At St. Winifreds, Newton Heath, 30th Sept 1939, living at 54 Dean Street, Newton Heath, her father was listed as 'Jack' Seymour, deceased, former occupation laborer.

Tell a lie, I do have a note of Ivy's birth certificate.
They were living at 122 Oldham Road, Failsworth. John Seymour, Electrician's laborer.

He seems to change his job too - perhaps a general labourer turning his hand to anything available.

You could try phoning Oldham cemeteries to see if there are any details of the ownership.

(Can't see anything for a Jack Seymour anywhere either!) He must be telling fibs surely!

Hi
There is someone on this site who has a lot of information about Oldham cemeteries but I can't remember who it is.

Did a search and found this

'All cemetery records for Oldham are held at the Offices at Hollinwood Cemetery.'

added: Castana, I have sent you the contact details for the cemetery office.

Thanks - there is a grave registry on Familysearch is that different than the person who purchased it?
For the LE20 Sidlow grave it just says Sidlow and for John Seymours grave it just gives Seymour?
