Cotterill family

[Khughes]

Hi looking for information on a Cotterill family from Wolverhampton. William and Esther and 8 children . My grandmother Nellie Cotterill and two of her brothers John William and George were taken to the Middlemore home in 1910, and were sent to Canada to 3 different homes. I believe the father William passed away in 1907- 1908 . There youngest daughters name was Louisa (Louie) I believe she married an Alsop..not sure about the other 4 , any hep would be greatly appreciated,

Are you looking for info on before they went to Canada or after?

My Grandmother Nellie stayed in Canada but not sure what happened to the two boys, so in answer to your question I am looking for before but would also like information on the rest of the family

Hi there,
what I have found so far which might help others to assist you..

1911 census for 7 Pipers Row, 158 Horsley Field Wolverhampton has a Esther Cotterill age 40 b Settenhall a widow – french polisher – married 18 yrs – 8 children living with Louie daughter age 5 b Wolverhampton which looks to me as possible block of flats as there are a fair few people residing there and possibly owned by a Herbert Harvey (several pages)

Possible remarriage for Esther to a George Pointon – Leek 6b page 352
