Hello everyone, I subscribe to the Cheshire list, so please excuse any duplication. I am researching my husbands family in Birkenhead and the Wirral. A lot of his family were Roman Catholic and these are the ones I have most problems with. In particular, I am looking for CATON, who lived around Raby and Thornton Hough, but did not register births, marriages or even deaths until after 1871, despite many baptisms and burials at St Winifrides Neston. Nor are they to be found in any census until 1881. They used St Winefrides from 1850 to 1876. I am looking for a marriage in 1845 to 1850, and would be grateful for any suggestions, as they did not marry at St Winefrides. My other interests are BEATH, CLIFFE, COATHUP, COSTELLO, CROFT, DAVISON, HILTON, GRIMES, WEBSTER. Thank you, June Clough
Hello June, My husband Richard was a Roady for a group called DO-DO. and one of the band members (the drummer) was PHIL CATON. He lived in bebington at the time but I am talking 1970 -1973. I wondered if this was your husband. We now live in Northwich Cheshire. sorry I don't know any others but could not resist a reply when I saw the name CATON. Good luck with your search.
