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)
