Hello All at Family History UK

My name is Karen and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I am researching my mother's side of the family and am currently focusing on the Winterbottom line from West Yorkshire.

Looking forward to some interesting conversation.

Cheers
Karen

Dear Barbara, romany rose and Geoff

Thank you for your kind welcome.

I have already be given much help from members of Family History UK and it has been very useful.

Barbara, I wonder if the Sidebottoms and the Winterbottoms were close friends :biggrin:?

Cheers
Karen

Hi Barbara

The first Winties I could find were in a very little hamlet called Strines in Saddleworth, right on the border of Lancashire. There was only three weaver's cottages there.

Their children moved to Dobcross and Diggle, then to Paddock and Zetland Street, Huddersfield during the industrial revolution. They continued to weave by handloom at least until the 1861 census.

May I ask where are your family from?

I have come to love the West Riding since researching my ancestors.

Should we be chatting on a different Forum. I don't like to get in trouble for breaking rules. Yes I am a scardie cat.

Cheers
Karen
