Rochdale & Oldham -- Hatters -- late 18th to mid 19th time period
I have James Wolfenden, born c. 1794, Rochdale married Ann ??? and by 1817 they are having children in Oldham, baptized at St. Mary's.James was a Hatter and his sons also worked in hatting in Hollinwood/Failsworth area.James Sr. died in 1864 and wife Ann died in 1879.
So, of anyone has come across any WOLFENDEN or WOOLFENDEN born Rochdale, happen to be hatters or happen to have a sibling James b. c. 1794 ... I'd love to hear from you!
