John & Sarah Bowden from Stockport

[Chris Nilsen]

Hello All,
I am seeking some advice about how I can find more information about a John & Sarah Bowden who are living at 'Park', Stockport in the years 1818-1824.
I found 4 baptisms to them (Sarah Ann 1818, Thos 1820-1820, Martha 1821 & Mary 1824).
John was a cotton spinner.

Beyond 1824 I have traced them pretty well and know what other family they had and where they died.
But it's this period of time they spent in Stockport that I need to know more about.
What other indexes/databases exist where they might be mentioned?
I can find no trace of them prior to 1818 and hope that, if some other info can be found, it might give me clues as to their origins.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
Chris.

No details given as to their respective birthyears or birthplaces or when/where they died

Are they on any census from 1841 onwards?

Censuses 1851 onwards should give place of birth and age.

No entry in Cheshire for a John & Sarah Bowden.  Wording of post suggests they moved out of Cheshire hence interest in Stockport

Info would still be appropriate wherever they happen to be located 1851 onwards.

Stockport was in Cheshire at the time.

Makes sense, Mottram is only a few miles from Stockport and near to Glossop, Hyde etc. where there were lots of mills.
