We have had a
request from someone carrying out research. He asks:
I am wondering if anyone in your society could tell
me anything about the Winterbotham family of Tarporley. The context of my
question is that I am in the process of editing the dairies of the
industrialist Sir Francis Joseph (1870-1951) who lived much of his life in
Alsager. In the 1930s there are several references to visiting friends the
Winterbothams at Tarporley. Often the diary entries indicate exactly where the
person lived and sometimes what he did but in this case no such luck so far.
Sir Francis Joseph.was the head of the coal factor
and colliery owner Settle Speakman. He was also a director of several companies
including the LMS Railway, Imperial Airways, BSA, RTZ, Midland Bank etc.
If anyone has any
information or any potential sources or contacts, please comment on this post
or email me (paul.bujac@virgin.net) and I'll pass these on.
