Dear Steven, a superb exhibition. You and the Bolton group are to be congratulated at the effort you put into this and the impressive amount of information and photographs that you have gathered for display. Now all you have to do is put it on the website! :-)

Let us all know when the next exhibition is.

Yes there is a Mary Hodgson recorded as the owner and occupier of what I think is the equivalent of the current 'Lea manor' building in Bolton. The description of the building is given below:

Occupier: Mary Hodgson

In Bolton did you find a family called Hodgson?

I would be very grateful for any information that you might have found
