Tihs suggests a possible misunderstanding. William Leyland Hunter was baptised AT St Ann's Church (note that there is no "e") Manchester. There is a town called St Annes (with an "e"), often called At Annes on Sea, on the coast near Blackpool. It is about 53 miles from Manchester. The town of Leyland is about 30 miles from Manchetser. Incidentally the name Leylansd as a forename was not particularly unusual in Lancashire. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
