Joyce: The person you refer to is my great-grandfather, my father's mother's father. I am sorry that I cannot answer your question. Since I am born and bred in Canada I have no local knowledge of Bolton and environs, and my family history research has not yet progressed to this level of detail. Thanks for your message. If you do learn more about this James SMITH/family, I would love to hear it.
