The proper name of the parish is according to VoB, Prestwich. Morwen 09:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Youngs has it as Prestwich too. Lozleader 09:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Census returns from the mid 19th century show Prestwich-cum-Oldham,[1] as does the bottom of the Prestwich guide. Some other websites also use Prestwich-cum-Oldham [2] (just google). It is also known as Prestwich-with-Oldham however.
Additionally, the source provided for the Hundred of Salford article (of which this parish forms) also states the parish was named Prestwich-cum-Oldham.
And finally, the same name is used as the bottom of this historic map. Hope that can add weight to prove otherwise. Jhamez84 17:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Greater Manchester County Council Arms.png

Image:Greater Manchester County Council Arms.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
