Where is Welton in Lancashire?
« on: Friday 19 June 09 16:45 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Has anyone heard of a place in Lancashire called Welton?

 ???

I am looking at the 1881 census and this is how it has been transcribed.  I thought it could be Bolton but it doesn't look like it.  I would be very happy if it was Chorlton in Manchester but it doesn't look like it either.

1881 Census
John Grant born abt 1853 in "Welton", Lancashire
RG11/2965 Folio 4 p 4

Thanks,

Luzzu

Sorry, I don't know where Walton is either  ???.  The more I look at it though the more it is looking like Nelson or even Preston.

I  Have just looked in the free 1881 census and there are only 6 John Grant born around those years, 3 born in Liverpool and 3 in Manchester.
