Find Ancestors

I am trying to trace his ancestors he was born in salford area

Amy, there are a few contenders for your Ancestor but we need a bit more information from you about John to ensure we are looking for the right person.

Do you know whether John had any siblings?
Do you know who he married?
Did he have any children?
Do you know when and where he died?
Have you found him in a census?

Thanks

He married Elizabeth Holden at St Mary's Eccles 23/12/1927 that is all the information I have to date ,he was a dryer

The witnesses to the marriage were Richard Lansdale & possible somebody Lofthouse (difficult to read). On the same day Richard Holden & Mary Fleming; witnesses Richard Lansdale and Joseph Handley.

How have you got back to John and how sure are you that he married Elizabeth Holden, as there is a marriage in 1826, Eccles for John Handley & Elizabeth Kidd.

Is this John & Elizabeth in 1851:


Name:Elizabeth Handley
Age:45
Estimated birth year:abt 1806
Relation:Wife
Spouse's Name:John Handley
Gender:Female
Where born:Pendleton, Lancashire, England
Civil Parish:Pendleton

John Handley 46
Elizabeth Handley 45
Mary Handley 14

I am almost sure John married Elizabeth Holden so most of the information was very helpful .I now need to find any siblings and also how they became rope manufacturers in Pendleton so that I can find my grand mothers roots thank you for all the help so far

There were 7 marrs at St Mary the Virgin, Eccles on 23/12/1827 and Richd Lansdale is a witness to all of them - presumably he's a mate or rellie of the parish clerk.
