Within Zara's Paternal family tree there is a strong connection to Bretherton with surnames Hodge(s),Hough, Baxendale, Rigby, Critchley, Worthington, Higham and others. Just down the road within the cemetery of the Methodist church such names have also been located with visible graves. Analysis is still taking place a year after the visit.  During the UK Family Tree Trip in 2014 I travelled in 'Alberta' the campervan from the Southwest to the Highlands of Scotland and Iona visiting many towns, cities and villages in search of the Ancestors--visiting Northumbria, Cumbria, Yorkshire, Lancashire,  Buckinghamshire Cambridgeshire, Suffolk---also the Forest of Dean, and Devon and Somerset, Gloucester--just  a brilliant tour---yes the Ancestors were found everywhere from humble cottage to Castle and Cathedral.
