St Chad’s Saddleworth  1800 to 1823 (more to add)

Saddleworth marriages in Rochdale Parish 1705 to 1801.

World War I

The starting point for tracing Saddleworth casualties is Bill Mitchinson’s  Saddleworth 1914–1919  published in 1995.  Casualties names were cast on the memorial plaques on the Pots and Pans war memorial. But many families either missed this announcement or, for whatever reason, did not wish their loved-ones to be recorded.

Saddleworth 1914–1919 provided information on over sixty more Saddleworth casualties who were not listed on the Pots & Pans memorial.  Since then, particularly with access to internet information more names have been discovered.  Neil Barrow provided an update, in the Saddleworth Historical Society Bulletin of Summer 2010.

Since then details of more Saddleworth men and women have been discovered, especially from recently uncovered and recorded Saddleworth graveyard memorials MIs, local war memorials and newspaper reports. They all have links with Saddleworth, either through birth, residence, family or employment.
