"THE woman in the front of this photograph was the daughter of Richard Heath, butcher, of Welshpool and first wife Jane Beadles," writes Pam Cooper.

"Jane is believed to have had a Bolton family, possibly linked with the name Caton.

"The lady is Margaret Jane, known as 'Ginny', and her mother died the year following her birth in 1861. Richard Heath remarried, and my branch of the family stemmed from this second marriage."

Can anyone - possibly from a local Caton family - help Mrs Cooper add a little more to her family's history research by providing any information about Ginny's connection to Bolton?
