I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me. My great great grandfather was William Cottam born 1872 Kexby, Gainsborough. He married a Sarah Anne Foster in Grimsby in 1893. They had a daughter, Annie Cottam b 1894 in Gainsborough. By 1901 he and his daughter resided in Oakes Green, Attercliffe. Annie stayed in Sheffield until she died in 1969, she married James Willie Ludlam in 1916 and their daughter Iris was born later the same year. William Cottam died in Grantham aged 91 and although from humble beginnings he died a very wealthy man.
