Why on earth id he marry in Prestwich if Eliza was from Oldham as well???

Do you have any certificates? or Lawrence on any other census

What a coincidence its a small world !

i have laurence and elisa (eliza ) boarding in 1861 it must have been after they got married he is a roller corner then she is down as birth in 1839
Cant figure out why they married in Prestwich and not Oldham but havnt been able to find a marriage for them in Oldham ?
it must be them ?

worth buying that Prestwich marriage certificate?

1851 census would be useful

Would prove occupation where he was living and father's name - there was actually another Lawrence b Bolton but think he is probably a red herring

v small world - I've lived in this area since 1970

yes think that may be the next step.
we have (my sister and my self ) have managed to trace the women in the family but the men are proving harder to find !!

I left Kirham in 1980 but mother and sister still live there so go back quite a bit .

Thanks for your help will look out for you
Jackey
