Think I've solved this - apparently Atherton used to be known as Bent.  Further details can be found here:

Thanks for the help.

Great suggestion thanks Barbara  :)  Just looked on a map and it’s only about 7 miles from Caton so it could be the place.  I checked Bentham parish registers in IGI and found a birth there that would fit my ancestor,but  unfortunately she has a common name (Thompson) so without further details I can’t be sure.

Thanks again,

John

Hi, did you get any further with finding this place?  I have an ancestor whose birthplace in the 1851 census is recorded as “Lancashire Bent”.  Unfortunately, she was dead before the 1861 census and her birthplace in 1841 was recorded as outside Lancashire!  She was married in Caton near Lancaster, but I can’t find any villages near Caton that would fit.

Regards,

John

Allan,

Sorry but this is a different family to yours - Mary married Thomas Best.

Cheers,

John

Hi,

I've been researching this family, Mary Ann Ellis is my GGrandmother, and have lots of information on Mary Ann and Frederick if you want to get in contact.

Regards,

John
