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.

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.
