Several possible deaths for John including

LEES, JOHN 50
GRO Reference: 1840 M Quarter in ASHTON AND OLDHAM Volume 20 Page 144


Several Thomas Whitehead in Oldham in 1841 but none with abode as 'Moor' or similar.

No occupations on FS in 1841 so can't search for 'Hatter' or similar.

1851 shows that wife Elizabeth and at least one of the children were born in Wales. Can't find a marriage there.
