Hi,can anyone help me to find information about my Great Uncle,James Crowther,who married my Aunt Elizabeth Harriet Furze,in 1925,Milnrow,Rochdale,UK.He lived at 80 Rochdale Rd; as a Grocer.I think his Father was called John.When was he born/died,was it his own shop or family owned,did he have Children? So many questions.

I would really appreciate any little snippet of information.

Thank you in anticipation.

Have a peaceful new year,

Bill Thomason.
