Hi list I am new to this list but someone on the Sheffield, UK list told me about the roll call for some surnames one of which is CHATTERTON a name I am researching on my husbands side. Although mine seem to be from Sheffield back to 1820s so may not be any connections. Al the info I have is on my website link to which is in my signature. Regards June Chatterton Sheffield, UK www.junechatterton.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Researching: BENSON, BRADFORD, CHATTERTON,CLASBY/GLASBY, FIELDSEND,HAWLEY,KENNY, LEMONS,MITCHELL I am also interested in: CONNOR,GILLESPIE, MOORE who may have married an Sarah Ellen KENNY

Dear Lists. Please, please, does anyone have any connections to these names.Barbara. New Zealand.

Hi To Barbara & All Birkenhead Listers, Most of us with ancestors from the Wirral will have several of those names in their Family Tree. I have 5 of them: WHARTON,YOUDS,CHATTERTON,WILKINSON & BARLOW. If you let me know the particulars (names and dates) of the earliest of these names, I may be able to help further. Kind Regards, Anne.

Hi Sylvia, My Farrells were living at 49 & 51 Vulcan St. in Birkenhead for the 1901 Census. They were: John Farrell 48 Slater (self-employed), H. Bebington, Cheshire Sarah 48 Laundress, Birkenhead, Cheshire Elizabeth 22 laundress, Birkenhead Harold 15 gen'l labourer, Birkenhead John 19 slater, Birkenhead Mary 17 laundress Whitby Joseph 13 Birkenhead William 11 Birkenhead Florence 8 Birkenhead Benjamin 5 Birkenhead Ada 1 Birkenhead Elizabeth, my grandmother, married Ernest Hollingworth and they came to Canada.

Hi Barbara When I said I had ALL the names in your list I meant all the one's I could see in the subject line viz WHARTON, YOUDS, CHATTERTON and WILKINSON. I didn't appreciate that there were another seven names off the edge of the page! As it happens I do also have PEACOCK's, SMITH's, POVALL's and BARLOW's, but no KENYON's, DWERRYHOUSE's or COGHLAN's I'm afraid. My WILKINSON's are mostly from Saughall Massey & Upton-in-Overchurch, whereas your great-grandfather John WILKINSON appears to be from Warrington. My YOUD's are from Irby, Thurstaston and Hoose whereas yours are from Bidston. I have a Frances WHARTON (b1809 Bidston) who married Joseph SHERLOCK in 1829 but her parents were James and Elizabeth. As Ann Nazari has pointed out, there will be many North Wirral listers who can identify with your names - it's just a question of finding the right ones! Good luck, anyway. Gordon >Dear Gordon. My Kenyon is John, in 1789 his daughter Alice >married John >Dwerryhouse, at Childwall, Stanley Youds married Mary Chatterton, >they had >my gt grandmother Catherine Youds who married John Wilkinson, >Catherine was >born in Bidston in 1833, married John in 1858, their son my >grandfather was >Samuel Wilkinson born 1876 in Birkenhead married my grandmother >Harriet >Dwerryhouse in I think 1899, my mother Harriet Wilkinson married >Thomas >Jackson Smith at St Anne , Stanley, Liverpool in April 1931, I was >born in >1933. that is my grandfathers line, my grandmother Harriets mother >was Eliza >Jane Peacock, she married John Dwerryhouse in 1873 December , at >St >Nicholas, Liverpool landing stage. her father was William Peacock >and I >think not proven yet, that William may have married Catherine >Coghlan 1848 >at Cork, Ireland.
