Cottrell of Chester, Cheshire, England
Looking for any information about my Cottrell family branch from Cheshire and possibly Lancashire areas of England.
Thomas Cottrell (his middle name may have been Swinfen) married Elizabeth Bateman, daughter of Edward & Hester Bateman, on 4 Aug 1810 at Holy Trinity, Liverpool.
Their son Benjamin Bateman Cottrell born c.1830 at Chester, Cheshire UK immigrated to Australia on the "Africa" arriving in Melbourne, Victoria 16 April 1853. He married Ellenor Gorell 3 Apr 1855 at Geelong, Vic and had two children, Edward Bateman Cottrell b. 1856 and Emily Jane Cottrell b.1858 d.1865.
Would appreciate info about Thomas and Elizabeth, details of any other children or general info about the family.
