OUR ANCESTRY & LOCAL HISTORY ARTICLES
Our Branch and individual research activities can include anything and everything that we can discover about our ancestors, their lives and their stories.
It's been written that there is a novel in all of us, just waiting to be written. Well, I'm not so sure about that! However, I do believe that there is a story in all of us, waiting to be given a 'voice'.
The links below, in our 'Pictorial Index' will take all our visitors to the numerous website pages where you can find stories, galleries and articles about our Oldham & District history and ancestry.
Please note ... some of the links may take you to a page on another website, or to a .pdf, in which case, it will open in a new tab.
'The Court Leet Records of the Manor of Manchester'
'The Court Leet or View of Frank Pledge,15th October, 1819'

The Hidden pages (below) are really pages 'in waiting'; they are waiting for new content to be added, to which they will then be linked from relevant article pages. At the moment, their only link is to the 'in waiting' page with the Oldham graphic and sometimes partial, in progress content.
