Hi all, I've just subscribed to the list. I'm particularly interested in the Flats at Winsford in Cheshire mid 1800's. My wife's ancestor Robert HATTON is shown as a Flatman on his son's marriage certificat in 1858. If anyone knows of a record giving the names or details of flatmen I would be very pleased to hear. Regards. Alan Fairhurst. Interests: FAIRHURST; JONES; BUTTERWORTH; COOKE; HALL; (in Crewe).
