[Barrie Yates]

My maternal grandparents emigrated to South Carolina in the 1890s but he was a Quarry Master, however I met up with a couple of chaps from Rochdale/Oldham area who were in the cotton trade, that was in Greenville, Sth Carolina. I was told that there were quite a number of East Lancs expats in Sth Carolina working in the textile industry.
