Hi Julie,

Yes Clara was born 1880 to Levi and Mary Mortin, I have found James b.1869, Elizabeth b.1889 who I think is the Kershaw buried in Hollinwood that you found, Sarah b.1876, and Bertha b.1884. Again thanks for the info, always welcome,

Regards,
Barry

Clara died in 1956 and is buried in Chadderton cemetery
Her address was 3 Robinson Street

Thanks,

I found what I think are Levi's parents:

John Mortin b.1811 married Hannah Garside b.1811 in 1832. If possible can you check this as I am not 100% sure. They lived in Hayfield and had several children including a Levi b.1845

John's parents might be Robert Mortin who married Nancy Robinson in 1790 in the Edale/Chapel-en-le-Frith area, they had children including a John b.1811,

Regards,
Barry

I have looked in the Oldham Chronicle for Edith’s death announcement but couldn’t find one sorry.
