Hello from Rochdale!
i've been researching my family history and have found out that my
Great Grandfather came from Beal. He was born there in 1851 and
although i have many names and dates and one day intend to visit, there
is a little mystery. On the 1861 census he is recorded as living in
The Manor House with his younger sister and 2 Aunts, no one else is
recorded as living there and the Aunts don't appear to be working
there, as they were the daughters of the local blacksmith and
unmarried, such an address seems a bit upmarket! can anyone shed any
light on this for me?

John William Reynolds b. 1851
Sarah Ann Reynolds b. 1856
Maria Barnes b. 1816
Ann Barnes b. 1818
