Ancestors from Bootle

Post by armybarmy »

Firstly, I have just signed up to this excellent looking site. So just finding my way around it at the moment.

Please excuse an old Manc for what might be a silly question. Are Bootle and Bootle-cum-linacre different places? Researching my ancestors shows up both as possibilities. If they are different, I would like to eliminate one of them so I can concentrate on the other.
Thanks in advance.
