"1871 census his birthplace was Lancaster, Marsden, 1835. Was Marsden in Lancs. in 19thC ?"


Marsden Lancashire was made up of Little Marsden which incorporated what is now Brierfield and Nelson and Great Marsden which was more towards Colne, but incorporated some of Nelson.  See:

Of course ! Hence the name of the local building society. I was thinking of an entirely different Marsden, in Yorkshire.
His place of abode in 1841 was later known as Walmersley-cum-Shuttleworth.
Nuttall Village, his place of abode in 1851, is now the site of Nuttall Park.

I have a letter on Swansey Mill notepaper, signed John Mossop, dated Oct 28th 1896, saying that his uncle Mr Boothman agrees to acting as returning officer in Municipal Elections St Matthews Ward.

I can supply a scan if anyone is interested. I haven't used this site long enough to know how to attach it!

Hi Hugh,

Welcome to RootsChat 

The original poster has never acknowledged all the information found for them. Hopefully the op will reply to your post and request the information you have, which is very good of you to share.

Hi, I would love to see the letter and if possible get a copy, I am just in the early stages of researching my family tree and I am related the John Mossop & James Nuttall Boothman.
I hope you can help.
Kind regards
Ian

Hi Ian at 1973 Mossi.        re: letter John Mossop about James Nuttall Boothman.  It is so long since I posted that I may take a while to find the letter.  I'll look, and post again, unless I have found out how to send a private message by then!    Hugh

Thank you

re: election in 1896. I have found my scan of the letter from Mr Mossop 28 Oct 1896 on Swansey Mill letterhead, but I have not yet found the original - if I still have it.

I really can't work out how to attach things to a message, and they can't be attached to Private Messages anyway.
