Wood/Ashworth/Gorrell/Bottomley
 

I am trying to find my cousins (male), born during the 1940's, their father Harry Wood (born c1910) and mother Ruby Ashworth born (c1913) I think they married c 1938. I have struggled a lot to find their two sons,(my cousins) born and raised in Accrington... so I am now seeing if I can track through their mother's side.... Ruby Ashworth had two sisters, Miriam born c1911 and Irene born c1916 Miriam I think married Arthur Bottomley and Irene I think married Jack Gorrell... all from Accrington or Great Harwood areas.. I think Irene had a daughter Maureen Gorrell born 1945 and she may have married a Wolstenholme.. I know this is a long shot...but I'll try anything !! :confused:

Re: Wood/Ashworth/Gorrell/Bottomley
 

Found three male names born Accrington, mothers name Ashworth.
1940 Malcolm Wood
1944 Raymond Bentley Wood
1947 Ian Wood
Does any of these mean anything ?

Lots of Ashworths

No Bottomleys or Gorrells.

thank you so much... I know that Raymond Bentley Wood is not related...but I have not been able to trace Malcolm and Ian, they could be my relations.. it is a common name unfortunately...but maybe someone will know them.. I did find a Malcolm Wood in the Accrington area directory..but didn't get any response when I wrote... thanks for your help
