I am searching for information of James Whitaker, grocer. He was living in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester or Bolton I think, as events occured for my Great Grandmother and her brothers and sisters in these places. I also need some information on his wife and children. What his wifes name is and when and where she was born, when she died; the first and middle names of his two daughters, Mrs Rigby and Mrs Chadwick d 23 Oct 1919 and their birth dates and where they were born; also the middle names of his two sons John and Richard and their birth and death dates and where they were born. I also need the names of Mrs Rigby's and John's children and their birth dates and where they were born. I have the name of Mrs Chadwick's son Ernest who is married and lives in Bolton and I have the names of Richard's two son's; James lives in Bolton and William Shaw lives in Leeds. I also need their birth dates and where they were born. To the best of my knowledge none of the Whitakers of my family moved to the United States prior to 1887. Then only my great grandmother Mary Elizabeth (Whitaker) Sellen b 28 Nov 1854 and her two children arrived in the USA in 1887 and my Grandfather was born in 27 Jan 1888 in New York City.
