Hi Listers, Here are my Birkenhead interests: GRIFFITH-JONES family of Aspendale Road, Tranmere. they married into Ellershaw, Taylor, McCann, Wheadon, and Bowen. Quiet a few named Margaret. LEA, also from Tranmere, Derby St off Oxton Road, Clarendon St and Briardale Road off Borough Road. The LEA family came from Harthill , Farndon and around that area prior to 1850's after which they slowly drifted to Tranmere Oxton and Birkenhead, ending up for some of them in Leasowe. I can't find the death of Thomas LEA, born 1834 in Harthill, son of William and Catherine LEA. Thomas died about 1880-1883 but where? Other names linked to both of these families are SYER RICHARDS , Francis William Hazelhurst (bn 1836 Middlesex) BURGESS, Sarah Ann, bn 1842 Norwich, Norfolk KINCH, from Long Buckby Northampton BARKER I have limited info on some of the related names. Would like to hear from anyone who may think they are connected Thanks Wendy
