I have a tree for the Williamsons of Newhall, one of whom is described as 'of Millbeck', but it has few dates. Other Williamsons include Sir Joseph (1633-1701) bapt. at Bridekirk against whom George Brownrigg issued a bill of complaint, Geoffrey Williamson (son of William) and Sergeant Williamson (name or rank?). The Williamson lands in Millbeck seem to have later passed to a Mr. Wilkinson of Thornthwaite. Dr. William Brownrigg (1712-1800) in 1774 bought Millbeck Hall for 2,600 pounds. Can anyone link all these people together? Ann Brownrigg (Costa Rica)
