Hi,

Would it help to find their burial place?

Found this site
http://apps1.oldham.gov.uk/bacasweb/gensearch.aspx

If you type in 'John Kershaw' there is an interesting burial on Page 3
John aged 76 buried 2.4.1955
Sarah aged 87 buried 30.9.1965
Ann aged 63 buried 12.12.1906

Doesn't help with Sarah's maiden name though

This looks very interesting.

I was browsing earlier and someone had posted re the Yorkshire Bank being next door to the Railway Hotel in Royton. The pub address is 1 Oldham Road and I looked in 1911 but I couldn't see a number 3. Nor can I find another reference to the bank address. (It is now a newer building and in the Precinct/ Rochdale Road).
The burial of John Kershaw gives an address of 9, Oldham Road Royton.
There was a care home called Broadway House.

However, Ann Kershaw (also in the grave) has an address of Dove Street Oldham. She is in 1901 with her son, John who is a velvet weaver.

I did wonder earlier if John was the caretaker of the bank with him living over the premises?
He may have moved on though, I do realise.

These last bits of information are amazing and would seem to fit the bill perfectly - I just knew Rootschatters would help me to solve this mystery.  There's a lot to take in and think about, but I'm pretty sure you have cracked it - thank you so much, everyone. 

Oldham archives replied very promptly that my information was too vague for them to find anything, except that the Yorkshire Penny Bank was not on Rochdale Road, but at 5, Oldham Road!

The Kershaw name appears on both sides of the family, Alice Wild being the daughter of Charles Wild and Hannah Kershaw, hence the John Kershaw Hambler.

Will think more later, but am so grateful.

Hi again,
Just one more point. This is from memory last night, but Ann Kershaw was a single mum living in Crompton and was born in Butterworth also. Her parents were John and Sally Kershaw.

Regards
Heywood
