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.
