Bollington Families database
Surnames | Names index – a database of historical family trees based on people from all walks of life who, at a minimum, lived part of their lives in Bollington or close by. This collection is building to show the inter-relationships between well known families who may have been in the town for generations. All the data comes from Bollington folk who have been so kind as to forward the results of their researches into their own families. We add to this information from church records. Where possible we add relevant pictures from the Discovery Centre picture collection.
