Biography

Edmund Oldham was born in Church Kirk, Whalley, Blackburn, Lancashire, and baptised there on 1 September 1822, the son of James Oldham and Alice Unknown^[1]

He was living with his mother and older brother in Whalley when the 1841 census was taken:

• Roger Oldham M 25-29 Lancashire, calico printer
• Edward Oldham M 15-19 Lancashire, calico printer
• Alice Oldham F 65-69 Lancashire ^[2]

Edmund married Frances Sutcliffe at St Chad's, Rochdale, Lancashire on 25 December 1843, his fathers name was given as James Oldham, and Frances was shown as the daughter of Thomas Sutcliffe. ^[3]

In 1851 they were living in Nursery Street, Liverpool:

• Edward Oldham Head M 29 Blackburn, Lancashire, printer
• Frances Oldham Wife F 35 Rochdale, Lancashire
• James Oldham Son M 6 Marple, Cheshire
• Thomas Oldham Son M 0 Liverpool, Lancashire ^[4]

Edmund was visiting his brother James and family in Pendleton, Lancashire at the time of the 1861 census:

• James Oldham Head M 54 Disley, Cheshire, block printer
• Elizabeth Oldham Wife F 53 Weardale, Lancashire

Edmund died sometime after the 1861 census was taken, probably in the Lancashire area. There is a death registered in Leeds in 1866, age 37, but there is no way of knowing if that is for this Edmund Oldham and the age does not match.

His occupation was a block printer
