LOL I am fairly certain they are cousins but as yet cannot prove it one way or the other. At one time I didnt know if - shock horror - I might have married the wrong one to the wrong lady! I wondered also if the lady in question might have courted with the deceased, and then decided to marry the other of the same name so as not to complicate matters, the banns even, rather along the lines of your thought. Fortunately the good people who are transcribing records at the Cheshire Parish Project were able to produce a marriage where the groom kindly wrote down the name of his father, who by that time had died. What a blessing that was. So, I'm sorry, its back to the grind on Monday for you since I've never had much luck with the lottery balls.

I've been subscribed to this list on a "watching for" basis for some time, just in case I have information that others might need that might one day turn up something for me. Perhaps this now is the purpose in responding to a reveille. KIRKPATRICK, SILLERS or SELLERS and JOHNSON are the names with connections in Caldy, W Birkenhead, and Liverpool.. I have to give credit to Gordon for being able to fill in some of my gaps in the past on the KIRKPATRICK name that has a connection also with JOHNSON and SILLERS or SELLERS. They were married in Liverpool and raised a family in Caldy Cheshire, though they maintained a connection with Liverpool whilst there was seafaring in the family. At some point they left Cheshire to live and eventually die in Liverpool. Maybe those with Cheshire interests here might pick up on this now; I've never really known if Cheshire names were somewhat off topic for a Merseyside list. I am at a disadvantage at the moment in not being able to receive mails into my mail client until late in the afternoon of Monday next, due to some error so I havent been able to see whether there has been a url posted for a map of the area of interest to this list as it seems has been suggested. Good idea!. I should clarify at this point also that not only do I have a brick wall but I have also something of a cement maize. I may not have made it clear before, it does seem a good opportunity to do so now, that in searching these folk I have absolutely no relationship with them - so far - in my own ancestry. I am doing so because they are connected to a line that I have extensive records for - also with some help from Gordon, as well as from other Researchers, though they do bear the same name as that of a Gt Gt Grandmother. So with that explanation out of the way the details of these folk are as follows: David KIRKPATRICK b 1783 m Mary SILLERS b 21.10.1796 St Peter's Church Liverpool. Together they raised several children - I have details of them - apparently in Caldy, Cheshire [W. Birkenhead] Never did understand about the West Birkenhead district but no doubt someone will explain now. David KIRKPATRICK died at 130 Park Lane, Liverpool having been a Master Mariner and later, a Surgeon. Mary [SILLERS] KIRKPATRICK died 1864 also in Liverpool, apparently a Teacher Maybe the SILLERS or SELLERS name is one of Cheshire, but also perhaps JOHNSON. Mary Sillers was the daughter of John SILLERS/SELLERS and Mary JOHNSON who married in 1788 I dont know where either of these folk were born but I suspect it could be in a place that is definitely off topic for this list.

Hi to all, I have a need for assistance with regard to the above gentleman. Thomas was born around/about 1765 (his marriage took place 26 Sept 1785 in the Parish Church of Warrington to Martha BROADHURST for whom I have parents as Thomas and Jane ROWLEY/(RAWLEY)(?). A special licence had to be obtained for this marriage ??? On my family history notations (written by a Great Aunt) it is noted that : "There is a mystery about this marriage. A daughter of Sir William Watkin Wynne who ran away with one of his retainers(?). There is money in Chancery Row from this union. Where is Chancery Row ? What is Chancery Row ? Thomas went through his life being firstly a Soldier, an Innkeeper, A Glassmaker. I am trying to find his birth place and his parents. I do have a film covering this church parish but so far have not found anything for his parents and family. The records prior to his marriage are not particularly good and are hard to read. I have found a Thomas BRAITHWAITE christened in Stratford Upon Avon in the Holy Trinity church where I was recently but did not know of this christening, as well as a death in 1699 of a Thomas BREATHERD (which is how the spelling of the marriage records for Thomas's marriage were spelt) in St Mary's Parish (Anglican/Methodist) in Cheshire. Could this have been 3 x gt grandparent of my Thomas ? There were not many with this spelling and the area of this burial/death was about 16 miles from where my Thomas lived in Lancashire (Warrington). Can anyone help me. I have met three brick walls . all with Thomas's : This Thomas BREATHERD (BRAITHWAITE) His son Thomas (born and baptized 1797 in Warrington to solider Thomas BREATHERD His gt grandson (son of his grandson whom he reared) and suspicion has it that this latter gent went to Canada (strongest possibility) or the USA after 1897 (last time seen on British Census with his parents at home. After his mother died he is no longer with his father and the father is living with the daughter) Apologies if there is confusion with this lengthy mail, but it is necessary. I can "talk" to someone of the list if necessary. Thank you in anticipation. I left my heart in England when there in May. Desiree BRAITHWAITE

Suggestions made on another list for "Roll Call Protocol": * Keep the message short. Detail can be sent later to interested parties. * Break your names down on separate messages (4 at a time) Rootsweb won't reject. * Print surnames in CAPITALS so they stand out in the message. I agree with Cynthia. Generic titles are so annoying and often deleted.

Gordon and I are blood related, so I'm also interested in > FELL(S) (Liverpool 1500's, Bidston/Arrowe 1500/1600's) > BENNETT (Neston 1500's, Woodchurch 1500/1600's) > SHERLOCK (Oxton 1500/1700's, Raby/Upton-in-Overchurch 1700's) I hope you don't mind me 'pinching' a bit of your message, Gordon:-)) Also researching: SILCOCK from Greasby SWIFT (my elusive William SWIFT, born ca 1829 Liverpool, son of Joseph SWIFT, Butcher; can't find him in either 1841 or 1851 census) HUGHES and JONES, (inevitably), from West Kirby (another link with Gordon) CARROLL (Dundalk, Ireland) WILSON (I think my earliest, so far, is John Wilson of Woodchurch, who married Ann MASON of Greasby in 1741, Woodchurch). WALL (Jane who married William Wilson in 1769, Bidston) Best regards, Yvonne Purdy (nee Sherlock)

I have 37 more emails to open with subject line simply "My Names." It would be a courtesy if folks put their surnames in subject line. That would make it easier on all of us. Many thanks for your consideration. Cynthia in California, USA

Hi Eric, There could be a connection but I don't have immediate proof and not sure just how. I'll tell you what I have that makes me think there could be (possibly naming patterns). This information was given to me by Susan Roscoe, a distant Perkes cousin born Liverpool now living abroad who found me via some message board a few years ago and I'd like to acknowledge that here. Another caveat, I work full time and have yet to go about getting the documents to prove I am on the right trail. * 1901 Census Thomas Perkes (47) and wife Myra (Perry) Perkes (43), living at 36 Thirlmere Road, Everton with their 6 children (including my grandfather) and a *nephew*, Ernest Perkes, baker's errand boy, born Liverpool. Now, your Ernest was born Pemberton, maybe that rules him out. Or maybe his birthplace is incorrectly listed on the Census? * Thomas Perkes above (1853, Wollaston, Worc, --1940, Hamilton, Ontario) His father, also Thomas Perkes (1824, Dudley, christened Wombourne Staffordshire, d. 1898, W. Derby ) first wife Emma Coley, of Halesowen, 2nd wife, Harriet Evans. This Thomas Perkes had 11 siblings including a Joseph Aston Perkes, 1818-1867. Siblings born between 1807 to 1831, all Dudley, Worc, apparently. Of these siblings, Charles (1829-1906) emigrated to Philadelphia and Henry (1814-1890), to Salt Lake City. Parents of Joseph, Thomas and the rest would be Henry Perkes and Elizabeth Cartwright Aston. If there is a connection, it might go back this far, to the children of Henry and Elizabeth Perkes, or perhaps further, to Henry's generation. * The cemetery record for the Perkes family monument in Hamilton Ontario lists a Thomas Ernest Porthouse d. 16-06-1920 and Ada McIntryre (Noyes) Porthouse 07-01-1948. * As a child, I remember being taken to meet my grandfather's cousin Ernest Perkes and his wife, in Hamilton. I believe he may have been the baker's errand boy on the 1901 Census. I don't know of any Nancy Perks in London Ontario. There are several Perkes (and more Perks) across Canada, but neither name is all that common in this country. * If you think any of this might be relevant, let me know and I will send you more detailed information.

I know for a fact that Marged would wish this list to remain the friendly, informative forum it always was under Caryl Williams' leadership and I for one intend to do my utmost to help her keep it that way. My "little dig" at Jackie was of course tongue-in-cheek and had no other motive than to get a topic of conversation going during a quiet spell on the list. Mind you, as Paul (Chapman) has pointed out in his post this morning the purists weren't using the definite article (ie "the") when referring to the peninsular of Wirral as long ago as the 14th century! :-) Regards Gordon >Hi Margaret - thank you for your great reply! >We went out to dinner and talked about the possibilities of sayign just >Wirral instead of The Wirral.

Well, I never knew that! ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Chapman To: eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2006 10:06 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] RE RE THE Wirral Slightly off message but amusing - the 14th century poem 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight ' says 'he went through the North Wales and the wilderness of Wirral '- so what's changed ?
