Hello, I am descended from generations of Cottrells from Neston and am wondering whether there are any other related people still living in Neston. I have a family tree at ancestry.com.au;
(Cottrell family tree)

Ancestors lived at Bentinck St, Birkenhead and ran a dairy (early 1900's). Names included Robert Cottrell (early 1900's)
George and Daniel Cottrell (1800's). Pleased to hear from anyone.

This was Cottrells bike shop in the middle of Lower Bebington Village, which I remember from the 1940-50s. Lovely smell of rubber and oil and he used to charge accumulators as well.
Probably a relative?

Maybe a heck of a coincidence , but my Grandfather Alfred Cattrell (not Cotrell) lived in Bentink Terrace? in 1891.
My Mum thought that some of the family was originally from Neston.He had brothers George and Edward.

She mentions a brother called Robert who was killed in the First World War. I had an uncle who was killed in WW1, in 1918, Robert Norman. I do not have any record of a Margaret however, so I am doubting there is a connection.
