*****************************************************
According to the 1871 Census Albert and his siblings were born in Carrbrook, Cheshire but in the 1881 Census, he is listed as born in Staleybridge, Cheshire, not Rochdale. On 26 Oct 1863 his parents had him christened in Rochdale. As a boy, Albert lived at Lower Place just right outside of Rochdale proper. Albert sang in the church choir at Balderstone in Rochdale. At age 11 in 1871, he worked as a woolen piecer. In 1881, he worked as a clerk and was the head of the household at age 21. He resided at 93 Lower Place in Castleton, Rochdale, Lancashire. Living with him were all of his younger siblings. Presumably, this was the same residence that his parents had had. His parents had moved to Rochdale by 1866.
Albert might have met Ada at the Balderstone church in Rochdale. There were married at St. Alban's (Church of England) in Rochdale.
In 1891 Albert lived at 93 Platting Lane The Royal Oak and worked as an insurance agent. Later in life, Albert ran a pub in Rochdale called the Royal Oak. Upon his death, his wife Ada ran a general store. When his health failed, they moved to a shop on Crawford St and lived in the flat above.
The town of Rochdale is quite ancient. Archeology shows that the Romans occupied the village back in AD 78. The first documented witness to Rochdale is in the Domesday Book (1086), under the name of Recedham with about three hundred people living there. Not much remains from medieval Rochdale except the parish church which dates back to the twelfth century. The building has remainder somewhat the same though in the 1870s and 80s the clock was removed and the top of the tower was extended.
*****************************************************
The Royal Oak on Platting Lane was, of course, named for the supposed hiding place of Charles Stuart although whether there is any Scots connect in the family, I don't know. I must admit that Scottish music had always appealed to me. The tap room was on the ground floor, and Albert Dearnley brewed his own beer. Grandma [Ada] and Mom [Mary Hannah] washed glasses. There was a lot of singing. My mother recalled one customer who was blind, but who cut realistic horses and other more complicated designs from black paper. He would occasionally pop a black paper cockroach in the sugar bowl. When he wasn't there, there was discussion on how much he could see, and Grandfather agreed to leave the lights off in the tap room to see if he would notice, and he did remark, "Don't you usually have a light by this time, Albert?" So apparently he could distinguish between light and dark. Another time, there was a deep discussion about suicide, and the next morning one of the patrons was found floating in the canal. There was much anxiety, because the laws about not serving a customer once he had reached a certain limit were strict, but the police decided that Grandfather was blameless.
The grandparents were apparently quite strict, but there was no physical punishment. If the siblings were getting out of hand, I was told Grandfather would fetch his walking stick and place it beside his chair. That was sufficient. If they complained about being bored, he would say, "As long as there are two books in this house which you have not read from cover to cover, I don't want to hear about you being bored." The two books, of course, were the dictionary and the Bible.
Grandfather's health deteriorated and they moved to 137 Crawford Street, and took over the shop, and the bulk of the work fell to Grandma. My mother had gone to work in the mill at the age of 12, but she had to leave when she was fifteen and help out in the shop. The Radcliffe mill was at the end of the street. Every morning, Grandma baked dozen's of buns of various kinds: Scotch Parkin, Scotch Oatcakes, Macaroon Cheese Cakes, Austrian Buns 1d each, Leamington Lunch Buns, German Sandwich, Bristol Buns, Lunch Biscuit 5d per lb, Brighton Ginger Cakes 1/2d each. You can guess that I am reading from a handwritten recipe book, much faded, and 3"x5". Freda has the better one, which has the prices on nearly every page.
When the noon whistle blew, all the workers poured from the mill and a good many made their way into the shop to buy a bun for lunch at ha'pence, a penny or penny ha'pence, plus a cup of tea.
Elsie [Dearnley née Pack] had another embarrassing moment in regard to that: When the whistle blew it was followed by a terrible clatter, and the first time she heard it, she cried, "It's hailing!" but it was the metal-soled clogs of the workers on the cobblestones.
There was an upsurge of Spiritualism around the turn of the century and for awhile after. I've forgotten most of Mom's stories about that, but it was very much in the neighbourhood. I've described how the houses were one wall to another, with the dividing wall, lower of course, continuing down the back yard to the alley, where the privy was situated, and past the wash house, which was largely just a roof. Albert Dearnley's father and all his brothers had died at age 56, and Albert was 56. He had a very bad spell on his way back to the house from the privy (outside toilet), and leaned on the wall, thinking, "Am I going to go the way my father and brothers went?" When the spell passed and he continued into the house, he found that there were visitors, a neighbour and her Spiritualist friend. The friend found his attitude very skeptical (healthy skepticism runs in the family, I think) and said, "Shall I tell you what you said before you came into the house, Mr. Dearnley?" And she told him what he had thought and warned him that his father wanted him, but that he must stand firm and resist. He made it another three years at least, breaking that pattern.

Ada Dearnley (née Whiteley)
(1862-1941)
(1862-1941)
Albert, Ada's grandson, recalls Ada's home being filled with several glass domed globes, some 3 foot high, in which were contained exotic birds. These might have originally belonged to Ada's mother.
****************************************
My mother's [Mary Hannah Dearnley] earliest memories were of the pub, but she had stories of her mother's [Ada Dearnley née Whiteley] childhood. Her mother's brother's chipped in so that Ada Whiteley could attend a "Dame School" at a cost of sixpence per week. The old woman in charge knew her alphabet and the numbers from one to ten and this is what she taught the children. She was afraid her pupils would run away (apparently the boys sometimes did, and she chased them down the street) so she never let them outside. She had a chamber pot behind the door so that she never had to let them go out to the privy.
Ada went to work in the mill at age nine, (6 a.m. to 6 p.m.) but somehow managed to grow up both literate and well-informed.

William Dearnaley 21 Bachelor, Woollen Slubber res: Micklehurst fa: Amos Dearnley, Woollen Weaver
Mary Ann Lees 22 Spinster, Frame Tenter res: Micklehurst fa: James Lees, Farmer
Both made their mark
Witnesses: Henry Boyer & [Henry?] Sherriff*
* looks a little like 'Harvy/Harry Sherriff'.
Speculation: Mary Ann may have added a few years to her age in order to be "over 21". At this time, marriage below 21 is thought to have needed the consent of parents or guardian*. If both parents had died, this might be quite complicated.
* Parental consent - this was briefly required between 1753 & 1823. Before and after this period, consent should be obtained but the marriage was neither void nor voidable if no consent had been obtained. - unsourced Web forum.
