England / Re: Wroe/Cottrill/Priestley
« on: Saturday 09 June 07 16:19 BST (UK)  »
Pels.

Thanks so much for all that information.  Its the right family, William would be my 2X G. Uncle, I think that's the correct distance, he is my G. Grandfathers brother.  I was interested in the name Wroe, as it is an unusual spelling, thought maybe it was from other than Britain. 

I would love to know if any of this branch of the Cottrills are still in evidence, my brothers are the last of the Cottrills related to Williams brother John Herbert, so the Cottrill line would appear to have died in my generation, as William had no sons that survived that I am aware of.

Again, thank you for your help.  Regards Evelyn

I have an Eleanor Wroe who married a William Cottrill C 1880 in Lancashire.   Does anyone have any further info. on this family.  I understand they had a daughter Florence who married a George Priestley in Prestwich C1912.

Armagh / McCreesh Family
« on: Saturday 09 June 07 01:36 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to research the McCreesh family.  My 3X Great Grandfather, was John Peter McCreesh bd c 1823, all I know is, he was born in Ireland.  I believe the name McCreesh is possibly a Co. Armagh name.

If anyone has been researching this name and has come across John Peter I would be very gratefull for any information.  He moved to England and was working as a carpenters apprentice in Chapel en le Frith, Derbyshire in 1841.

John Peter married Elizabeth hurst in 1850 in Wigan, Lancashire.

Anyone who worked here in the late 40s early 50s, or anyone who can give me more info. on the company.  My father worked as a patternmaker sometime in the 40/50s.  He has now passed away and I would like to know more about the company.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Cottrill 1841/51/61

These both look promising, are any other siblings mentioned, thought similar names  might run in the family and be a clue.  Could you list the entries maybe that would help.  Thank you again for your help.

As I don't have access to the 1891 and 1901 census, I didn't know about the Oldham connection, maybe I have been chasing the wrong Alice all this time and my brother got the wrong birth cert.   I know the marriage cert. is the correct one because of the spouse name.     Does an  Alice show up with a different family anywhere else in the 1871.

The Alice servant in Aspul, on the 1881 census looks promising.    Is Aspul near Bury, the names of her birthplace change, I have seen Bury, Pilkington, Whitefield and Besses o the Barn, are they all close to each other and interchangeable.
