ErikaH thank you so much.
These addresses were on my grandparents marriage certificate. The were born and bred in Leigh Lancashire.
They married in 1896 grandma was 5 months pregnant.
So they must have moved out to stay with family or friends to get married and were back in Leigh by the time baby was born and stayed there.
I don't recognise any of the names from the 1891 census perhaps other people were living there in 1896.
Thanks once again for looking
Linda

If you post the names and birth info, we can look for them in 1891

I have them in 1891 I was just trying to find out why they stayed at those address in Oldham.

The census posted by Erika is listed under Middleton, Tonge, Lancashire, St Michaels parish. I think FMP have muddled their transcription.

Thanks Austin
They married at St Paul's so think you might be right with the district.
Thank you linda

would there be electrol registers for 1896
thanks

At the relevant local library - but the electoral franchise was very limited.

They could just have been lodging at the addresses in order to marry in the church of their choice, and/or to pay for only one set of Banns

Thank you Erica . I hope they are lodging with a family member.
Thanks Linda
