Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: LYON, Mary Jane. 1851 Preston look-up

Hi Debbie,

Yes, I do have information going futher back. I have only traced the Australian Cottams but back in the 1980's a man gave me a folder that goes back to 1600's.

Ralph & Seth seem to be popular names for our lot. The name Lyon/s is mentioned twice in the OZ line. Edmund Lyon Seth Cottam born 1856 at Haselgrove, England & Edmund Lyons Seth Cottam born 30 Jan 1875 at Adelong, in OZ.

There are a few Johns but not in 1809. 5 Ellens, but no Isabella or Daniel. I will send you a link so you can view what there is.

Regards
Christine

Hi,

I am decendant of Ralph Cottam, born 1818, who came to Australia in 1858. His son was Edmund Lyon Seth Cottam, born 1856 at Haselgrove, near Stockport. So the name of Lyon is used in the Cottam's as it is with the Lyon's.

I don't know of the connection yet.

Cheers
Christine
