Hi, trying to find any living descendants of a Gledfill and Cecilia Cottam who may still be living in the area. The family of Glrdhill, Cecilia, Edward, Sarah and Davis lived in Alma House Cottingham. I have searched a little and find that some of the family emigrated to Canada and Switzerland?
Any help would be appreciated, many thanks, Cameron
