In your abridged version of a branch of the Horrocks family tree, do you happen to have a James Horrocks, or possibly James William Horrocks? He was probably born between 1800 and 1820. He married Mary Smethurst , probably in 1835. He had a daughter, Jane Ann, born in 1849. She also went to New Zealand.

Hi Geoff,

I am searching for any information on the Horrocks family of the cotton mills. I believe that we are related to them, but have had no luck tracing any further than my great grandfather. Samuel Horrocks was born in Lancashire in 1882, and was chief inspector at the Wigan Police Station. He married Alice Anne Middleton, and they had 7 children. Samuel retired in 1948 and died in 1959 aged 77. Sadly I only know the names of 2 of their children.
A copy of the family tree, or any other information you may have will be greatly appreciated.
