Abel Cunliffe/Betsy Hoyle of Newchurch, Lancashire - Cotton Mill Family 1800's
I am looking for any information on Abel Cunliffe - apparently Abel's family were wealthy cotton mill owners but fortune was lost - married Betsy/Betsey Hoyle (b. 1828 Shuttleworth, Lancashire) - I do not know year of their marriage - supposedly they had 12 children - Abel does not appear on 1881 census - Betsey reported as Widow - only 7 children as well -
Annie (age 23)
Lizzie (age 21)
Robert (age 19)
Harry (age 16)
Clara (age 15)
Samuel (age 14)
Ada (age 9)
Samuel was my great grandfather - he left Lancashire for London as a young man - became an Insurance agent - married Emma Jane Dobing - lived in Marylebone ca. 1900 - would be pleased to hear from anyone that has information on this family - any cousins?
