In 1836 he came from Arkengarthdale to Wigan, married Alice Gregory. In 1841 there is a record of Edward Garbutt (25) Alice (25) and 2 year old William living at Blackrod, Wigan on a street named Scotland. Edward is a collier. Later Ellen born 1842 John born 1847 Sarah born 1849 Edward born 1851 Henry born 1858 Henry is my gt,gt grandfather. I could not find any other Garbutt´s around Wigan in the 1840´s. Garbutt as a name is more usually found in North Yorkshire / County Durham - where my Edward came from. Well, after all that story, I hope there is a link ! There is a very good site - "Lancashire Births Marriages and Deaths" which you may find useful as it covers the Wigan area. regards, pat gray Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
