Thsnks Both

I will buy the birth certs for Hannah and marriage cert for William

Both should say Richard Greenwood of Crompton who I believe died in 1838. He was in 20's already married with 3 chilldren.

If this is them in 1841, then Hannah's birth certificate will have Father's name also: (Address looks like Fir Lane, as in 1851)

you need to buy the death certificate of the William given above
(death 1899) to see if the details match your Wiliam or find a probate record or will which may help.

What makes you think William's father was called Richard. have you got his marriage certificate to Hannah?

Why do you think he is alive in 1901?
Have you got him in 1841 with his Father?
Have you got his Father's name from his marriage certificate?
Have you got information on his birth?

Thanks everyone but I am confused

Was William alive in 1901?

Is this his dad?

LOMAX Samuel Elson Oldham Below Town Oldham WHATMOUGH OBT/102/318

Samuel Lomax was with William & Hannah in the 1881 & 1891. Seeing as he's with their son James in 1901 suggests William & Hannah may no longer be around:

good point patchem

this death could fit

Deaths Mar 1899 (>99%)
Greenwood William 63 Oldham 8d 591

How do you know he is still alive in 1901?

There were probably tmore than 2 in the Rochdale and Oldham area.I have one set in my tree of similar ages.

if it helps to identify the family by mmn which is available for all years on lancsbmd for Oldham

Hannah's maiden name was Whatmough

Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
GREENWOOD Ann Crompton Oldham WHATMOUGH CR/14/278

I would guess this is the annie in GB's 1901

GREENWOOD Annie A Wardleworth Rochdale W/44/95

Annie would have been 36 in 1901 not 26.
Unless there were two
