Help tracing my grandfather please

  Bur what you have not answered is how did William Woolfendens' name crop up as potential father of the 3 girls?

I think the implication is that the grandmother told the oldest girl, who eventually revealed what she knew when Thornbird asked where the grandfather was buried.

Yes that makes sense.

There was another Rootschatter researching the Woolfenden name a few years back. I went grave hunting for him in Rochdale a couple of times.
Looking at his username he has not been on here for about a year but maybe worth dropping a note to him.

Wlfndl here, I would love to help with any Wolfenden Woolfenden research that is need!

Thank you again Blackburn Fossil for your help it opened many doors for my research.

I still think my Jonathan Wolfenden and Mary Gridrod's grave is either buried below the grass to listed on the back of the Wolfenden of Closebarn graves.
Thanks Bill

Hi Thornbird,
Since wlfndl has resurrected this thread after it being dormant for a few years, have you managed to find out anything useful about your grandmother in the 1921 Census? For instance, if she was co-habiting with anyone, or whether there was a William Woolfenden living in the same neighbourhood etc? One assumes that since they had more than one child together, the relationship was more than just a fling, even if he was still married to someone else.

could someone email me please about the Vickers / Wolfenden story, thank Bill

Following on from my previous posting there appear to be 4 Annie Vickers (plus a Eunice Annie and a Lizzie Ann) in the birth range 1890-1900, in the Salford/Manchester area in 1921.  Two look particularly interesting based on the snippet that FindMyPast provides without you actually buying the transcript:

Annie, William and Rose at one address
and
Annie, Edward William and Elizabeth at another address.

There's a William Henry Wolfenden with a Sarah Ann, Elsie and 4 others at a Manchester address
and
an Ernest William Wolfenden, William, Emma and 3 others at a South Manchester address.
Both William Wolfendens come up based on the same birth range ie 1890-1900. Obviously he might have been older than Annie
