Hi Bruce

Thanks for the reply.

I can't be sure the COTTRELLS don't come from Ireland - they could well do.

None of the names you mention tie in with the names I have I'm afraid.  If I find any link I'll let you know.

Hello Ticker

I have some Cotterills who lived in Tamworth in the 19c.

They were Daniel Cotterill born c 1797 who married Mary Betteridge in c 1820 and their family.

I would be interested to hear from you if you think there's a connection.

Hello Alikay,

Congratulations on your first post.  Keep them coming.

I have not been able to link your COTTERILL line with my COTTRELL.
There may have been a difference in origins as my COTTRELLs were from Ireland. 
I think the COTTERILLs may have come from Scotland. 

Being a humble male of the species, I stand to be corrected

Thanks for your message - I can't see a connection at the moment but will keep this in mind.

I have  a John Cotterill who came to Scotland from England, possibly Lancashire before 1870.  I can only get back to 1840 with any certainty however, as my family have not yet been found in any of the censuses in England.  The man in question has stated birthplace England on censuses, and one poorhouse record states place of birth as Oldham, Lancashire England.  Oldham didn't even exist when he was born (about 1840-42).

To complicate matters he had one son, Frederick Cotterill, born 1883 in Southampton.  However John had been living in Scotland for at least 13 years by then, and had a number of children born there....then went back to Scotland and had another child by 1886.

So I am thinking...why was he in Southampton when the child was born?  Why go there if rellies were in Lancashire?  Work?  He was a hammerman...but it seems an awfully long way for a Scot to go to get work, so I am thinking family must have been there.  And yet....can't find anyone!!!

So my Cotterills are very elusive and are driving me batty.

Good luck, everyone else!

I have discoverd a photograph of my ggg grandmother Lois Cottrell who was born in about 1813.  The photo must have been taken about 1900 I suppose.  She is the elderly lady on the right.

I would still like to hear from anyone who has a connection.
