The Zoo was founded by George Mottershead b1894 the son of Albert b c1857 and Lucy. Albert could be either of two sets of parents - Peter b c1818 and Martha or Josiah b c1830 and Sophia. A lot more work needed!
PS take the biography of George on the Zoo website with a pinch of salt - IMO it is seriously deficient.Last edited by webwiz; 02-02-16, 11:34.People: Canton, Wiseman, Colthup, Scrace

Lancashire, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1911 ancestry has mistranscribed the surname as MOTTERSHAW. The image is quite clear so bad mistake. Peter MOTTERHEAD is a gardener living in Didsbury.Albert Mottershead born 9 Dec 1856 baptised 22 Feb 1857 Saint James,Didsbury,Lancashire,England Parents Peter,Martha

Your George married Hannah Timperley in 1868, so he was born before 1848. The ancestors of George the founder of the Zoo after 1837 do not seem to include any other George which matches your George. So I surmise that if the families are connected the link occurs before civil registration and censuses. You will need to work through the parish registers.Last edited by webwiz; 02-02-16, 16:56.People: Canton, Wiseman, Colthup, Scrace
