Oakdens
I am interested in the Oakden family tree and was wondering if anyone out there could help (my late mother was an Oakden)
The history as I understand it...My Grandfather Clarence Oakden farmed at Towers Farm, Poynton, Cheshire until the early 1960's prior to that it was owned by his father; william Oakden who also owned Denton Hall and various farms around Marple.
William Oakdens father was also called william and farmed at Spend Lane Farm, Thorpe, nr Ilam and The Firs in Fenny Bentley in the mid to late 1800's. His father was called John and farmed at Steeple Farm in Ilam prior to that (and is buried in Ilam church yard).
Thanks
Steve
