Places (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

I am doing some research into Irish settlement in the mid-1800s. I have read that Scholes/Ince/Whelley areas received a significant number of Irish immigrants; which I assume is related to the famine and why there is a St Pat's church and rugby team.
Does anyone have any (ideally sourced) information or statistics on the Irish diaspora in Wigan in the mid-1800s?
