General Notes
John was quite an important person, being an overlooker at the Looms.
In 1841 John (40, Overlooker, looms) & Jane (30) were with family James (14), William (12), Mary (10), John (7), Thomas (2) at Barlow Street, Little Bolton.
In 1851, John and Jane (52 & 39) are still at 12 Barlow Street, Little Bolton with 7 children.
In 1861, John and Jane are at 24 Barlow Street with daughters Sarah (20) and Esther (11), and grandchildren Jane (11) and John (7).
In 1868, Jane Mather, a minor, daughter of John Mather a weaver from Barlow Street married Richard knowles. Also that year Joseph Marther Orrell, son of John Orrel a Cotton Carder of Barlow Street married Mary Garthside. (They are probably related, although John had no sisters. Quite likely John Orrell was John's illegitimate son with Martha Orrell).
In 1871 John was at 22 Base St, Little Bolton (75) with Wife Jane (63) and Grandson John (17).
We can be sure he was from Edgworth, born about 1794-1798, as census records vary. Possibly John born 1794 (if 1861 census is correct), so likely the son of Thomas a Calco Printer and Alice from Quarlton (0.5km south of Edgworth). The son of a printer becoming an overlooker at the looms is quite likely, but by no means certain.
