Edwin Butterworth and SAXONS - Lancashir
Looking for connections between Saxon and Butterworth families in Ashton-under-Lyne
area (Lancashire) circa 1850.My
great great grandfather was christened
Edwin Butterworth Saxon in 1852.In my
research I have learned that an
Edwin Butterworth was something of
a local historian at the time, though
I don't know if he is the reason the
child was so named.There also appear
to be a lot of intermarriages
between Saxons and Butterworths at
this time, but again, I can't connect
any directly to my own family tree.
Might just be a case of two very common
surnames in a small radius.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
