Research Notes

• I have searched for any children born to Richard Oldham in Bury, Lancashire, England and Church, Lancashire between 1749 and 1757 on these websites:

I found two children during that time with the last name Oldham born to a father named Richard in Bury or in Church, Lancashire. I believe Church is being used as an abbreviation of Church Kirk, because I found all the same birth dates for Richard Oldham and a couple said Church, a couple said Church Kirk. I also found duplicate records for the children below with the same names, same father names, and same christening dates, but one says Church and the other says Church Kirk.
