Sandra I am also researching the PLATT family from Warrington (my direct line). But my names are different but I wonder if we can make a connection as I have hit a brick wall. My family is as follows : Thomas Platt b approx 1805 possible death 7 mar 1845 15 garry? St, nl, UK Married : 4 jun 1827, St Nicholas, Liverpool to Anne Barrett/Barrat/Barratt b approx 1811 Ireland children (that I can find so far) John Platt b. 24 apr 1825 Warrington christened 1828 St Pauls Square Thomas Platt b. 1836-39 Toxeth Park, Lancashire christened : 1836 Warrington Benjamin Platt b. 1844, Toxeth Park, Lancashire Possible child as per 1841 census though I can find no other records at this time Joseph Platt b. 1840-41 (he was 7 months old at time of the census) The three above sons that I am positive on all came to Australia and John and Thomas settled in Port Macquarie (I have a fair bit of info on them) and Benjamin stayed in Melbourne and passed away in 1873. I have hit the wall on Thomas (Snr) and his wife, I can find nothing of them in the census after 1841. Benjamin and Thomas Jnr were listed in the 1851 census as being in the West Derby Union Workhouse. Thomas Snr was a Boot and Shoemaker. The death I have is unconfirmed but would make sense to why I can not find him on the 1845 census, but then I can not find his wife either. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could match our families......
