Aloha,

Our branch of the family's story is typical of many; working Cheshire farms for generations and then with the rise of the Industrial Revolution working the cotton mills of Lancashire. With the start of the 20th Century it's across the Atlantic for a new life in America. Many settled in and around mill towns in the US; Dover, New Hampshire, Lowell, Massachusetts and Utica, New York. This website is dedicated to their many family members everywhere.
