I have my 4 x gt. grandfather John Oldham born 1806 in New Mills who married Nancy (Ann) Hadfield born 1805 Mellor.

In 1841 the family were living at Moor End, Mellor. John was the head of the family aged 30 with wife, Ann (35) and children, Matthew (13), David (12), Mary (10), James (9) Henry (6) Ann (4) Martha (2) and moses (10 months). David was listed as being a cotton slubber.

I am struggling to find any more about the family pre 1841. Any help or ideas would be great?

Thanks
