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

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

Thanks for the help.

Hi... there is a Bent near Shuttleworth, Ramsbottom. I think it was called Brown Bent but never heard it mentioned for years.
