Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Firstly, I have just signed up to this excellent looking site. So just finding my way around it at the moment.

Please excuse an old Manc for what might be a silly question. Are Bootle and Bootle-cum-linacre different places? Researching my ancestors shows up both as possibilities. If they are different, I would like to eliminate one of them so I can concentrate on the other.
Thanks in advance.

Hi

Welcome to the forum. Bootle-Cum-Linacre is an old name for Bootle this is what Genuki says about the area:-
