Thatcher

[Longshaw]

I am trying to trace any information relating to Thatcher in the St Chad, Shrewsbury, or West Gorton areas. I have done a lot of research and am having difficulty in tracing information pre 1852. Suggestions please.

A good place to start would be to trawl the 1851 census for the area and pick out all entries for the name - the 1851 census should include birthplaces to help you track where the family came from.
