To continue the Leadbeater information that Slowhands has just put you in contact with here is some additional information. Are the Leadbeaters in the Phelps line of your tree (and therefore there is a loose familial connection between your ancestors moving to Wigan and my Rhodes/ Morgans) or have I confused things?

your Frederick Leadbeater ancestor is the son of James Leadbeater and Susan unknown (poss Sier).
James was baptised 1.2.1824 at Drybrook to James Leadbeater (7.9.1790 - name spelled Leighbeater) and Jemima (7.9.1785 Littledean - nee Morgan) Other siblings I have also found include George (26.8.1811) Timothy (11.9.1814), Abiah (3.8.1817), Eliza (17.1.1821), Frederick (14.5.1826) and Ephraim (25.5.1828)

Eliza - my ancestor goes on to marry William Morgan and have children William, Hannah, James, Hubert, Amos, Thomas, Leonard, Eliza, Mary, Emma and Alfred. After she is widowed she moves to Ince with Hannah (by then Rhodes), James, Alfred, and William.

James Leighbeater is in turn the son of James Leighbeater and poss Sarah
Jemima is the daughter of James Morgan and Ann

Thanks to Danny Haines for helping me with the parish records links (although most are now transcribed on this website)
