Nuttall was a small hamlet on the side of the River Irwell just outside Ramsbottom. There was a mill there and there are photographs on the Ramsbottom Heritage web site. Nuttall Lane is a road, previously a lane linking the ,main Ramsbottom - Bolton road and going down towards the river past what was Ramsbottom Cottage Hospital and eventually over the hill into Summerseat.

Elizabeth went to Canada with her husbad Thomas Ogden after their marriage in Bury in 1908. Thomas died in New Westminster in 1952. Elizabeth returned to England for a holiday in 1953 and returned to Canada on the Empress of France from Liverpool. After that I have lost track. There is a possibility that Elizabeth even at aged 70 re-married to some one called Pritchard. Can any one help track when Elizabeth and Thomas first sailed to Canada, did they have any family, did sje re amrry and when and where did she die?   Thanks John

Sorry to have been so vague. Yes Jane Parkinson does appear to be James wife. She apparently came from Addingham in West Yorkshire but I have not been able to verify that from a birth record yet.
