I am trying to find any descendants of John Handley b. 1817 in Tideswell, Derbyshire. His father was Ralph Handley and his mother was Ann Harrison. John Handley was a shoemaker/cordwainer. In 1845 he married Lucy Stapleton in Bakewell. They had 4 children - Ann 1846, Mary 1848, Emma 1850 and John Thomas b. 1860. In 1893 John Thomas married Elizabeth Clegg in Oldham and they had 4 children - Lucy 1893, Mary Ann 1895, John J 1896 and Gladys 1900. Between 1871 and 1881 the Handley family moved from Tideswell to Oldham. John Handley b 1817 died in Oldham in 1897
