Oh wow, thanks for that link RonOne, what a great website! Looks like things were pretty tough for workers in the Cotton trade in the 19th C. I'll be returning to that site when I can turn my attention to the Manchester line on my tree. I'm waiting for a marriage certificate to make doubly sure that I've got the right family in Manchester, the name of my great grandmother is Mary Branson and there are a lot of Bransons up in those parts!
I'm focused on the Liverpool lot at the moment, so much yet to do on them - they had large families!
