Oldham Below Town

Oldham Below Town was, from 1851 until 1905, a statistical unit used for the gathering and organising of civil registration information, and output of census information. It was a sub-district of the larger registration district of Oldham, in the then registration county of Lancashire, England.
Unlike a neighbouring subdistrict of Oldham Above Town, the area was broadly urban and encompassed several residential districts south and west of central Oldham including Westwood, [Greater Manchester|Westwood].
In 1905 the Below Town and Above Town subdistricts were replaced by Oldham Central, Oldham East and Oldham South.
Oldham Below Town appears on several England and Wales census transcripts/returns as a place of birth and dwelling for many people of Oldham.
