Coulthurst, Cottam et al: From Lancashire into the West Riding of Yorkshire

Pam Griffiths

Coulthurst, Cottam et al really belongs to the history of the Parks - also on this website - but that book became too long and so I abstracted the story of the family of the mother of John Park of Liverpool to make a separate account. The Coulthursts hailed from Great Mitton - now all Lancashire, but then split between Lancashire and Yorkshire - as did the Cottams and Reads. However, with the Illingworths and their kin, the Wilcocks the story moves to Yorkshire, principally Grindleton, Bolton-by-Bowland and Gisburn. Other pertinent names include Almond, Brigg, Read and Brooke and Parkinson, Scotte and Ellill.

A tree showing this branch of the family can be found at Ancestors of Miriam Coulthurst.
