Hi, I'm searching for information about my wife's family. They came from the Ashton/Stalybridge area.
The information I have is that her grandfather was James Anderson.
Family have told us that he was actually named James Etchells Anderson, but I can't find that on any records.

Family have also said that his parents were Alec and Florence Etchells Anderson but it isn't clear who was Etchells or Anderson, or whether the double-barrelled name was from Alec's line. It's all very confusing! Anyone got any ideas of how to untangle this mess? Cheers
