Widowed 1866.... One surviving child Mary Annie Hobkirk Wright b 1854 Whitby, N.Yorks 2nd marriage to LUGTON, Alexander 1867 in Newcastle upon Tyne. Widowed again 1876...

Thomas was born Toxteth Park in 1922 the son of Thomas H Sutton and Jessie Shepherd. He was killed in action in 1943 while flying with Bomber Command, Royal Air Force. Does anyone have any information about him? David

I have just attempted to transcribe a will written in 1806. I think that I have got most of it right but there are many words I cannot decipher. Has anyone experience of reading script of that time who may be able to help me? I could send a copy of the original and my draft transcription. David

Yes, I have had quite a bit of experience with wills. I would be happy to help if I can. I remember being confounded by a few choice words.

I am trying to find out what happened to Elizabeth Ann THOMAS who is on the 1911 census in 170a Regent Road, Kirkdale aged 18, single with her parents John Marion Thomas and Elizabeth Thomas, also her brother John Daniel Thomas aged 11. Elizabeth jnr was born in Carmarthen before her parents were married. I have no clue if she married after 1911 or what might have happened to her. Are there any church records for Kirkdale showing marriages or deaths after 1911 that I could search online? Many thanks Ann

Just testing - please ignore.

Hi Taffy Apologies for the delay in replying - due to my computer-room having been pressed into service as guest accommodation during the recent Mathew Street Festival. Many thanks for the detailed information you sent me off-list, although I'm afraid I can't oblige with any photographs of your LEAY family by way of reciprocation, as you'd no doubt have wished. My PAF relationship-calculator, by the way, tells me that you and I are 9th cousins (Pam Craven being your 9th cousin twice removed). Should you be interested in taking the WILSON line back further, I have the parents of Peter LEAY's wife Ann (b1745 Burton) as Jonathan WILSON (b1710 Burton) and Alice STREET (b1714 More, Flintshire) who married on 20 June 1737 in St Deiniol's, Hawarden, Flintshire. Alice (b1714) was a daughter of John STREET & Ann WILSON (b1680 Puddington, Cheshire) who married on 18 November 1700 in Neston St Mary & St Helen, Neston. Jonathan (b1710) was a son of John WILSON (b1664 Burton, Cheshire) and Hester ORRED (b1680 Storeton, Cheshire). Ann (b1680) was a daughter of Samuel WILSON (b1649 Burton) and Suzannah INGLEFIELD (b1655 Storeton) who married on 21 February 1680 in Bebington St Andrew. Samuel (b1649) was a son of Nathaniel WILSON (b1626 Willaston, Cheshire) and Alice BROWNE (b1623 Burton). John (b1664) was a son of Jonathan WILSON (b1630 Willaston) and Katherine BROWNE (b1631 Burton). Nathaniel (b1626) and Jonathan (b1630) were sons of William WILSON and Cicely nee FELLS, formerly SHERLOCK. I am a direct descendant both of Cicely SHERLOCK and of Alice & Katherine's sister Sarah BROWNE (b1628 Puddington) who married John LEATHER (b1632 Puddington) in a 'Parliamentary' ceremony in Chester on 4 August 1657.

Hi Gordon You say- 'I have Ada Annie as a daughter of Joseph LEAY (b1813 Mollington) and his 2nd wife Ann HUGHES, with siblings' The 1881 census shows Ada Annie b1875 as the daughter of William b1851 and Ellen McALLISTER therefore granddaughter to Joseph b1813 Mollington not daughter. This seems about right as Joseph would be 62+ and Ann 51 not impossible to give birth but....

I have Ada Annie as a daughter of Joseph LEAY (b1813 Mollington) and his 2nd wife Ann HUGHES, with siblings :- 1851 William (m Ellen McALLISTER 1871 in Birkenhead St Mary) 1852 Elizabeth 1854 James 1859 Robert Plus half-siblings from Joseph's 1st marriage to Jane MAINWARING nee GREGORY :- 1840 Ellen Rebecca 1842 Sarah 1844 Joseph 1846 Thomas (m Ann COE 1869 in Liverpool St Peter) Joseph (b1813 Mollington) is believed to have been a son of Peter LEAY (b1779 Burton) and Ellen nee WALTON, who married 28 February 1813 in Backford St Oswald. Peter (b1779) is believed to have been a son of Peter LEAY and Ann nee WILSON (b1745 Burton), who married 13 April 1779 in Burton St Nicholas. This WILSON line traces back with reasonable certainty to a WilliamWILSON and Cicely nee FELLS (born c1584), who is my 9 x great-grandmother. William & Cicely were grandparents to Thomas WILSON (b1663 Burton), Bishop of Sodor & Man from 1697 until his death in 1755.

Hi Gordon is this our Ann WILSON who was married to John PICKANCE? Am I right in thinking when he died in 1778 she remarried a Peter LEAY in 1779? If so then I am related to Taffy too! I would like to se if our Martha LEAY fits in somewhere but I guess that needs a trip up north to find the church records.
