Hi Sian
I have a James Cotton marrying one of my Dimmocks , living in Longton, but I haven't really looked at him. Louisa Cottons father George was illegitimate and I have been struggling with his mothers Harriets family. There don't seem to be many Cottons in Longton so its possible.
Regards
Barbara

Could I interrupt and ask if you have any connection with James Cotton,
Bagnall Street, Longton, who died in a mining accident in 1870?

Sian

> Hi all
