John Buckley 
Birth Notes
Aged 65 in 1841, born Lancashire
Aged 75 in 1851, born Latham (or Lytham), Yorkshire
Aged 77 in Jan 1853 (when died)
Baptism: "John Son of Benjamin Buckley Clo (i.e. Clothier) & Sarah his wife of Shelderslow"
1851 census record clearly states John (75) is from "Yorks Latham", whilst Mary (70) is from "Lancashire Bolton". He was 77 when he died (so born Jan or Feb 1776).
Latham is a hamlet in Saddleworth. John and his sister Ann were baptised here. An article in the the Leeds Mercury, on Saturday, April 25, 1840 advertised for sale:
"FOUR DWELLING-HOUSES with Gardens and Appurtenances, and small CROFT, containing 2 Roods and 8 Perches, situate at Latham, in Saddleworth aforesaid, and now in the Occupations of Ann MAYALL, Samuel DIXSON, Thomas WHITEHEAD, and Others. Also a CHIEF RENT of £1 14s. 7d per Annum, issuing out of, and secured upon another House and Premises, at Latham aforesaid.
There about 30 John Buckley's from Yorkshire born 1776 +/- 5, and almost all from Saddleworth. By trying to match parents to childrens names, Benjamin and Sarah fit quite well, but obviously not confirmed.
Name: John Buckley
Event Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 2 Jun 1776
Parish: Saddleworth, St Chad
Parish as it Appears: Saddleworth
Father's Name: Benjamin Buckley
Mother's name: Sarah Buckley
Abode: Sheldreslow
Reference Number: O9/1/1/5
Item Number: 6
Archive Roll: 905
The marriage for John Buckley and Mary Crook, shows them both from Oldham. John's parents were from Oldham, and his siblings baptised in Oldham, which explains the discrepency.
Death Notes
Six Bolton deaths to choose from: Was alive in 1851 and died by 1861.
Jeff Buckley has his death certificate, and has his death as 27-Jan-1853.
BUCKLEY, JOHN 76
GRO Reference: 1853 M Quarter in BOLTON UNION
Volume 08C Page 209
Name: BUCKLEY, John
Age: 76
Sub-District: Eastern Bolton
Registered at: Bolton
Reference: EB/21/206
During his time in Bolton he lived at 34 Crook Street and this is the address given on his death cert. with occupation as an 'Oil Cloth Maker'
Died before Tonge cemetery opened in 1856, so not buried with wife Mary. Does not appear to be at St Peter's Parish church either!
No Will or probate indexed for John Buckley (although there is for John Buckley, Gentleman of Saddleworth in 1858), possibly a cousin.
General Notes
John and sister Ann were baptised at Sheldreslow which adjoins Latham. John was recorded as born in Latham on the 1851 census. Both are ancient hamlets of Saddleworth.
In 1841, there are Many John Buckleys on the census, but the one married to Mary was also an Oil Sheet Worker. Cornelius and Eliza's family were living together at Crook Street, Bolton as well as daughter Mary (servant) and son Benjamin, also working as an Oil Sheet maker.
John Buckley was recorded as Ellen's father on her wedding certificate. He was an Oil Sheet Maker. After Ellen married John Mather, John also became an oil cloth Maker for a short while. We can be confident this is the correct John and daughter Ellen!
From 1844 to 1848, there was a John Buclkey of Shelderslow paying rental of more than £50pa.
In 1851, John and Mary (75 born Latham, Yorks & 70 born Bolton) are at 34 Crook Street, Bolton. Gorge and Leah Holroyd and family (3 children) were visitors. They may be relatives (TBC). They also had 4 lodgers.
I have several DNA matches to Buckley that are not linked, and John may have been married for a few years before he married Mary. "Ellen wife of John Buckley, Clough Bottom" died June 1800. "Martha wife of John Buckley of School Lane, Cloth Dresser" was buried at St Chad Rochdale 18 Jan 1801. Also Ann wife of John Buckley of Pendleton died April 1801. Ann of Middleton is very close to Prestwich where John married Mary in 1802.
John may have been married before he married Mary Crook in 1802. It wasn't Ann Hilton (and a sister Ann also married), both from Chadderton. That John Buckley weaver of Chadderton was buried at Middleton in 1812.
There are no Oldham baptisms for John an Oil Sheet Maker 1798-1802 before he married Mary (although others for Shoe Maker, Spinner, Weaver and other).

Occupancy/Contact Notes
Family Home of John (an Oil Sheet Maker) and Mary Buckley in 1841 and 1851
Cornelius Buckley was recorded as living here in 1838 when he married Esther Scowcroft.
John Mather recorded Crook St as his address in 1838 when his son Benjamin was born and again in 1842 when his wife Ellen (John and Mary's daughter) died.
By 1851, except for Mary, their children had left home and they had 9 lodgers and visitors to fill what must have been a big house.

Neighbours in 1841. Perhaps Ellen met John Mather this way, if Jacob was an uncle or other relative.Relationship Notes
Cornelius and Eliza (Esther Scowcroft) and their children were living with Cornelious' parents in 1841 at Crook StreetRelationship Notes
Ann Vickers was 71 in 1841, living with John and Mary Buckley
John was a neighbour of Sarah (Sally) Andrews.He was a neighbour of Samuel Buckley.He and John Buckley knew each other.John was a neighbour of Jacob Mather.He lived with Cornelius Buckley.He lived with Ann Vickers.
John and Mary were married in a religious ceremony on February 15th, 1802 in Prestwich by James Lyon and witnessed by James Winterbottom and Edward Redford.4
Marriage/Union Notes
Several researchers have differing marriages for John Buckley. Mary Leech and Mary Hurst are suggested.
Their youngest Sarah Ann Buckley was Baptized in Jan 1803, so you would expect a marriage between 1799 and 1803.
From the 1851 census, it is clear Mary was from Bolton, and their children were baptised at Little Bolton, so one would expect a marriage to a Mary in Bolton. There are 6 marriages between 1799 and 1803, and only one near Bolton (at Prestwich) to Mary Crook. This marriage is further supported as Mary Crook (a relative) is included on the baptism records (same page as all their children).

All the other siblings were Baptised at Moor Lane Baptist, Bolton le Moors, Lancashire. Jonathan's record isn't indexed with FamilySearch, so perhaps Jonathan isn't part of this family.
I suspect the following FamilySearch record may be a typo, and is actually 21 Jan 1807. This would then match with all other records, including ALL his siblings baptism records at the same place. The death index also suggests he was born in 1807.

There are no Mary Buckley GRO deaths registered at Bolton with a good age match. The closeset match is Q3 1883, aged 74.
Younger brother Benjamin moved to Ashton, so Mary may have followed him there. There are several possible deaths registered there.

On the 1841 census, Ellen was aged 20 (which is rounded to 5 years), so was between 15 and 25 (i.e. born 1816 to 1826).
The marriage certificate of Ellen and John has Ellen of "Full Age", and John and "Minor", but the 1841 census shows John older then Ellen. However the Baptism record does suggest she was born about 1816, so of same age, so born before 9 Oct 1816 (i.e. 21 when married)
Ellen was living in Halliwell in 1837, and we only know she was born somewhere in Lancashire (probably East Bolton) from the 1841 census.
