Nearly all of the information found so far on this family relates to Liverpool, where we have traced our line back to Thomas Winterbottom, who married Elizabeth Blundell in 1780. The earlier history of the family is uncertain, but we think that Thomas was probably born in 1760, the son of the John Winterbottom who married Mary Oliver (then a widow) in 1751.
