Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for your post. I love hearing about other's family history, especially if there is some kind of connection. Sadly, I don't think we are related though. My Joseph Vickers was born in 1858. His mother Ann Jane was born around 1832 and she died in 1901. I have the records from the GRO. I know from the census records that they always lived right in Bolton. ( they were very poor and 4 generations lived in the cellar of a row house!) I doubt they had the time or the means to travel to outlying communities. Vickers is a popular name for that area though. They might be related going further back. If you visit the Bolton museum and archives online, you'll notice several articles about Vickers. They even have some great photos of the events that happened in that area. I appreciate your response though.
Many thanks and take care!
Susan
