Hi all, I'd like to add some names too. 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)
