I live on the south coast of England and it is many years since I lived in Macclesfield, when my father was Deputy Clerk to the Council at Bollington. My interest is in genealogy and my ancestry mainly in Macclesfield. I have found a Charles Mornington Albinson, who in 1928 was a coal depot manager living at 'Greenland' Grimshaw Lane Bollington. Can anyone point me in the direction of research of this. I understand that there was a small low grade coal mining area at Kerridge; gasworks and railway at Bollington. Thanks.

I have tracked HAYES ancestors and other family to Bollington, 1841 to 1881 and beyond. Descendents of James, born in Radcliffe Lancs about 1791. Happy to share information. On Henshall Rd in 1881 ('Ebenezer Cottages', I wonder if they are still there, I don't know the area !)

I was given your site andam in awe at the information available. I hvae Ancestors -William Berry born Rainow circa 1825 wife's name Mary. If thre is anyone researching this family I would love to hear from you. I will be back to your Home page more often now... Good Luck & " Happy Researching One & All ".

A friend has just moved to Bollington and put me in touch with this site, my family came to Bollington at the beg. of the 1800's The family is called Nolan and they originated in Ireland,I am trying to track info on Luke Nolan who lived at 19 Water st in 1906.He was my grandfather and I cannot find any trace of him after the 1st WW.

hello! I have in my family tree a Mary Anne Royle, b Bollington 1819, married Joseph Ogden in Manchester Cathedral. Would be very interested to hear whether this links to anyone else
Thank you!

I wonder can anyone help please?
I'm researching the family of my 3X great Grandparents James Smith and Mary Hodges both born c 1805. They had connections with Prestbury and Bollington and lived for a time in Macclesfield. James's brother John married Hannah Hodges.

I know that in 1901 Hannah Howe ( formally Smith) eldest child of James and Mary lived in Glueshed Lane with her daughter Emma Howe who was a school mistress.
Edward Howe, son of Hannah Smith Howe was an estate agent/ autionerr in the area in 1901.
I'd really appreciate any information.
Thanks alot

Hi, My grandmother was born in Bollington in 1885. Her name was Lizzie ROBERTS and was born in High Street. She was the daughter of James and Margaret ROBERTS. In 1891 they give their address as Defiance Street and in 1895 James dies in Oldham Street. Lizzie's siblings were Annie, Sarah Ann (Minnie), Mary Ellen (Nellie), James and Florrie. Would love any more information on this family.
Thanks
Maureen
