I believe it was Richard & Elizabeth. I really know nothing about the HORROCKS. My connection is through the SIMM family but there are some similarities.

The names BARLOW & ATHERON also figure into my SIMM family. Peter SIM's mother married an ATHERTON after the death of her husband. One of Peter & Mary's daughters married a BARLOW. My Mary married a Robert HILTON after Peter SIM died. That is about all I know, I keep bringing up the HORROCKS name hoping to learn more about them but havge found out nothing.

Hi Barb, I have MCINTYRE'S from Wigan. They were originally from "Somewhere in Ireland" but had settled in Wigan by 1881. The family were as follows, starting with mum and dad: Owen MCINTYRE born abt 1821 in Ireland and deceased by 1881 although I don't know when or where he died. Mary MCINTYRE born abt 1821 in Ireland Children I know of: Mary MCINTYRE born abt 1849 in Ireland Michael MCINTYRE born abt 1853 in Ireland Annie MCINTYRE born abt 1860 In Ireland. Michael MCINTYRE was by great grandfather and he married Mary TABERBER in 1881. Annie MCINTYRE married Thomas QUINN from Garadice, Co Leitrim in Wigan in 1881. The couple later emmigrated to Canada, Montreal I believe and Thomas died there in 1891. Does any of this connect with your MCINTYRE family?

Hello Heather, Great, these are the Wyke's I'm descended from. Benjamins son Henry was my great great grandfather in direct descent. Henry's eldest son was Philip and his only son was John Henry. My father was James Philip Wyke, John Henry's son. If you'd like to see the family tree log on to Genereunited and drop me a line asking to see the tree and I'll open up access to you. I had to chuckle at your reply as I'm a primary school teacher. You'll see there are a lot of relations in and around Wigan from one of Benjamins daughters. I was hoping some descendant of Benjamins sons Robert or Philip wouls get in touch too. We'll keep our fingers crossed. If there's anything I can do to help you in your search just let me know as I have a lot of informtion(census returns and gro index) about the Wyke's. Carol Buchan ( nee Wyke)

This is for Barbara who previously posted for witnesses on a wedding certificate. I believe it was Richard & Elizabeth. I really know nothing about the HORROCKS. My connection is through the SIMM family but there are some similarities. My HORROCKS was Mary who married Peter SIM/SIMM in 1846. Carol tells me the Richard HORROCKS lived on the same street as Mary's father Joseph in the 1841 Wigan census. The names BARLOW & ATHERON also figure into my SIMM family. Peter SIM's mother married an ATHERTON after the death of her husband. One of Peter & Mary's daughters married a BARLOW. My Mary married a Robert HILTON after Peter SIM died. That is about all I know, I keep bringing up the HORROCKS name hoping to learn more about them but havge found out nothing.

Please Miss, me Miss, please I know the answer Miss! I think these are probably connections of mine. The Benjamin Wyke who resided at Dawley was, I think, baptised in 1808 in Withington, the son of John Wyke. I am descended from Richard Wyke or Wike who baptised 10 children in Withington between 1800 and 1817.
