Hello
This is a long shot but I am looking for relatives of the Walmsley family from Hollingworth, Cheshire who I believe moved to Gloucestershire some years ago.
I have seen a posting which states the above and am very interested to know if these Walmsleys are related to me by marriage as my great uncle John Ernest Boardman born 1883 in Hollingworth married Elizabeth Walmsley born 1884 in Hollingworth. John Ernest was a Cotton Weavers Overlooker in a Cotton Mill in Hollingworth (probably Albion Mill on Wedneshough Green) but they moved to India sometime after 1911 and he was the Manager of a Cotton Mill in Calcutta in the 1920's. My grandfather Harry Boardman was also a Cotton Weavers Overlooker in a Cotton Mill in Hollingworth, he was in the Cheshire Regiment during the First World War and died in 1918.
All my family on my father's side were from that area and worked in the Cotton Mills but as my grandfather died when my father was only six years old, information was very limited.
I would be very grateful if anyone can share any information with me, especially the person who posted about Wedneshough Green, as I am trying to trace my Hollingworth family.
Thank you very much in anticipation.
Liz
