IN answer to Peter Cole’s query re family tree, I may be of some help.
My great great grandfather, James Cole, came to Bolton in 1859. He was born in Middlesex and arrived here with his wife and two sons, one of which was my great grandfather, Alfred. It was a mystery why he came to Bolton, so perhaps it was because of relatives here. Please email me and I will give you more details.
