Post by: mersey_view on Friday 25 June 10 15:50 BST (UK)

hi,

if someone gave their place of birth as Cutwood in the 1881 census - they were living in Wigan,
where would that be ?.

thanks
Al.

Hi,

My first instinct was Outwood and on checking the 1871 census for the same family it does say Outwood.  Outwood was part of Pilkington.

Regards,
Mo

I have a birth of one of my husbands ancestors who came from Outwood & it says Prestwich district. Mo is right though because I believe Pilkington came under Prestwich as well.

The church most likely to be used by Outwood folk would be St. Saviour's, Ringley.
