George Edward Ramsden, Coopers And Crate-Makers
I have been told that my grandfather and great-grandfather had a business at Longton as coopers and crate-makers for the potteries. This business ceased I believe in the 1950s but would have been running from the late 1800s to that date.
I cannot find any details of this business and have only been told that it was run from Longton.
Any information would be appreciated as I am in the process of starting my family tree. My relatives from my father's side of the family originated from Congleton, Cheshire.

RE: RE: George Edward Ramsden, Coopers And Crate-Makers
The business I believe ceased in around 1930 following the death of Arthur Henry Ramsden, my great-grandfather - who is buried in Congleton churchyard. My grandmother was Eleanor Ramsden who I think was the second daugher of his first marriage. She married Walter Taylor who had a butcher's shop at 8 High Street Knutton.
