Hi, well, according to the 1881 census, your JOHN was born in Manchester. On the census he is described as a mechanic, iron fitter. Elizabeth, his wife, was a cotton weaver, born Preston, and Mary, their first child, was born in Accrington, and was aged 11months on the census. They lived at 23 Barnes Street, Accrington.
10 years later, on the 1891 census, they are living at 19 Lee Street, which is just around the corner from Barnes Street.
Mary is now 10 years old and they have another daughter, Edith, who is shown as 10 yrs.

I have added a photograph from one of our streets here in town. If you look on the left hand side, high up on the wall, is the name Greenhalghs. Dont know of course if any relation to you.
