I'm trying to trace the Waterworth family that emigrated from Colne in England in the 1850's/ 1860's. John Waterworth left his family and travelled to Elgin in the early 1850's he sent for his family in the early 1860's. Shortly after his wife (Sara) and children arrived she was pregnant again but before the baby was born John, one of his sons and a hired hand died in a well accident. Sara was in deep shock but survived to have a son (James) before she to died leaving 4 surviving children. James eventually settled in Colne after leaving Elgin some time before 1880.
I only have sketchy details and would greatly appreciate any help.
