Both these families were in Rochdale England during the 1800's. We do have a lot of info on the Stotts but hardly anything on Widdup. A Mary Widdup married a Thomas Stott in the early to mid 1800's. Their son Joseph came to Australia in 1870 (he was born 1852). He lived in Kerang, Victoria, Australia. Living on the next door farm was David Widdup and his wife, Eliza - they were referred to as Uncle and Aunt Widdup.
