Gordon, I've been reading posts about this family for years. Does Betty know of your possible relationship through the family tree? Marged Rather off-topic, perhaps, but both Stanley LEWIS and Mary CORKHILL (see original post) feature in my much-extended family tree. :-) If I'm not mistaken, John Stanley LEWIS (b1859 West Derby) was a son of John LEWIS (born c1836 Liverpool) and Isabella BURROWS (born c1830 LAN Skirton). John (born c1836) was a son of Richard LEWIS (born c1802 Shrewsbury) and Elizabeth TROUGHTON (b1806 CHS Heswall). The last-named was the eldest daughter of William TROUGHTON (b1780 Liverpool) and Martha WHITEHEAD (b1783 Heswall) who married on 25 June 1805 in Heswall St Peter and had children all born in Irby and baptised in Woodchurch Holy Cross save the eldest Elizabeth, who was born in Heswall and baptised in Heswall St Peter :- 1806 Elizabeth (m Richard LEWIS 2nd January 1826 in Liverpool St Anne) 1808 Ellen (m John YOUDS 6th October 1845 in Liverpool St Nicholas) 1810 John (d1831) 1812 Mary (m Henry DELAMORE 30th December 1836 in Liverpool St Peter) 1815 Sarah 1817 George (m Sarah ARNOLD 1846 in Liverpool) 1820 Martha (m Henry BATHER 1847 in Liverpool) 1823 Ann 1826 Margaret (m James YOUNG 10th May 1846 in Birkenhead St Mary) Best regards Gordon From: "Marged" <marged36@btinternet.com> To: <eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com>; <Liverpool-Memories@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 2:29 PM Subject: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] Fw: [ENG-LIV] New List: CHILD-MIGRANTS-UK >Just for information > >From: Ms Betty Fredericks >To: Eng-Liverpool@rootsweb.com >Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 11:21 AM >Subject: [ENG-LIV] New List: CHILD-MIGRANTS-UK > >I've been posting about my great-grandparents for about 7 years.

Hi Marged Betty and I have been stumbling across each other on a variety of Rootsweb mailing lists (mostly the Mariners) for many years, and I believe she is in fact already aware of my 'loose' connection to her TROUGHTON ancestral line. However, this post from her last January on the Cheshire list (from which I am now, incidentally, also banned for life, along with three of my other 'home-town' lists viz the Liverpool, Birkenhead and Lancsgen) :- >One set of my ancestors was a LEWIS man from Shropshire County marrying >a TROUGHTON lady from Cheshire County, and they probably married in >Lancashire County ~1825 suggests that she might not be aware of this marriage, freely available on the search.labs site :- 2 January 1826 Liverpool St Anne Richard LEWIS and Elizabeth TROUGHTON Best regards Gordon From: "Marged" <marged36@btinternet.com> To: <eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 7:59 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] - CHILD-MIGRANTS-UK >Gordon, I've been reading posts about this family for years.
