The Lighter Side / Clogger in Rochdale
« on: Saturday 17 June 17 22:04 BST (UK) »
Hi Folks:
I had a relative who lived in Roahdale and I believe buried there.
In 1841-51 it says he was a "Timber Merchant and Clog and Boot Dealer" on Oldham Road, Rochdale, Lancaster, Manchester., England.
His name was Fletcher Bolton and married to Phoebe Robinson at St. Chad's Church, Rochdale in 1829.
My question is how well did a "clogger" do during this period and is there any history on this gentleman still around?
Many thanks,
Creary
