Hello Bill I can't answer your query, but have you searched the a2a site for your family names. Entering Peter Nickson brings up a couple of really interesting 'hits' on documents held at the Lancashire Records Office in Preston. I've not searched further, or for variants of the names, but if you've not already been to this site it would definitely be worth a look:- http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp Good luck Janet C >From: "William Nickson" <bill@thenicksons.co.uk> >Subject: [FYLDE] NICKSON Family >Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 16:09:37 -0000 > > _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail, News, Sport and Entertainment from MSN on your mobile. http://www.msn.txt4content.com/
