Cheryl, I noticed that the file I sent wasn't legible. Hope this one is better. Todd

Occupation Interests / Re: Do you have corkcutter ancestors?

Hello Cheryl,
My 4th great grandfather was a cork cutter. Not sure if he owned the business or was a laborer. I don't know much about him that I can authenticate. He's on the outskirts of my research. His name was John Hallawell. (Census docs have him as Halliwell) His wife was named Ann. (possibly Taylor) His son was a Druggist and went on to establish a very successful drug export business to Brazil. So, John may have had money, hard to say. The only document I can find with "Cork Cutter" in it was the marriage of his son Joseph to Mary Dugdale. I've attached the file.
I would love to know more about John Hallawell. If you run across his name in your research, please let me know. I can't find his grave, but I'm pretty sure I know where he died. There is a house in the Lake District called "Kitty Crag" in Grasmere, Cumbria. His grandson Harry Hallawell wrote that he lived and died at Kitty Crag. I also have a photo of the family by the house including John taken in 1874.
Most of the Hallawell family centered around Manchester, Lancashire. Liverpool and Wales has also been mentioned.
Thank you, Todd Hallawell
