Hi Stan
Wolstenholme Bros - Photographers - one of them was my great great grandfather - Richard Wolstenholme born March 1842 and died March 1925.He was the youngest of 7 children and his brother was your Samuel Wolstenholme born April 26 1839 and died October 27 1899 (and as you say had died by the time the 1901 census came around) Samuel married Ellen Fielding. Samuel and Richards parents were James Wolstenholme born Dec 5 1799 (Outwood) and Ann Jones born Dec 31st 1798 (Oswestry) Richard and Samuel had older siblings - William born 1826 (his son was mayor of Middleton) Catherine born 1829 married a Mr Booth, John born 1831, Alfred born 1834 and Maria born 1837 but died before reaching the age of 1. Ann Jones was the daughter of Ellis Jones and Ann Jones. I have lots of other information taking the Wolstenholme line back to Richard Wolstenholme born 1628.
Please let me know if you would like any more information?
Regards
Cathy Hood (nee Wolstenholme)
