Kershaws of Smallbridge, Rochdale, Lancashire
Looking for more information about my ancestors the Kershaws of Smallbridge. Sarah Kershaw (born around 1821) married Charles Buckley in Rochdale in 1845. Her father was Thomas Kershaw, an innkeeper, born around 1785. He kept a pub called the Gibraltar Rock in Smallbridge, and when that closed Thomas went to the Bay Horse, also in Smallbridge. Thomas's wife was Mary (b. around 1789 at Shawlane End), whose maiden name may have been Wolfenden. If anyone has researched this family and can shed any further light, I would be grateful to hear and to share what I know.
