Just to add to the list of Bottomleys, I have a Kezia BOTTOMLEY, b. c 1805, m. John FIRTH 6/11/1825 in St Chad's Rochdale, d. 1847. She was probably came from Saddleworth but moved to Marsden nr Huddersfield after marrying (her eldest daughter, my gggrandmother Jane, was born in Saddleworth, but the other children were all born in Marsden). I haven't managed to trace Kezia's origins so far so would be interested if anyone else with BOTTOMLEYs has any relevant info.
