Hi Derek, I cannot resist a new site. I know that you will be greatly
blessed as people start to visit it. I have family connections with
Lancs and Cheshire, actually a cousin of my fathers lived in Preston,
I remember going there the day before we left the UK. They were
John and Ethel Walker. It was a cold miserable day too. I'm researching
the Robinsons, Warhurst, Bond, Jessop and Lee families. All the
very best and as we say in Wales Diolch yn Fawr Phyllis |

Derek: I need motivation to create my own web page. My great-grandparents
immigrated to Canada in 1910 from Chorley. I have always been interested
in family history and made my first trip to England about 20 years
ago to meet one of the Chorley relatives. Unfortunately he died
this past January and I will be returned in a few months to help
his niece sort things out. I love going to chorley. |

GREAT SITE! Sorry we are no kin, at least I don't think so. I want
to do a website one of these days but don't have a clue as to how
to start. My Bennett line was from Dumbarton. My great grandfather,
Samuel Bennett, started the newspapers there. The Dumbarton and
Lennox Herald. He was also provost for several years prior to his
death. I bought a booklet while over there at the Rob Roy Center
and to my surprise found his picture in it. My brother has a very
large picture of him in his robe and medal around his neck. His
picture really looks like my older son as he has a long beard too.
I have been to Scotland three times and will be coming back this
July/Aug with a tour. The other times I have always been with family
but on our own doing genealogy some and then enjoying the sites.

27, 2003, 07:21 AM Congratulations, Derek, on a great start. I love
your slant on the genealogy of a street. Your site is fresh, neat
and easy to read and navigate. Apart from our common Wiggans ancestors,
I found other surnames in common (Bennett, Waring, Norris, Thornley)
in the same areas but will need more work before I can confirm connections.

Dear Derek I was most surprised when bumped into your web site the
other day. I thought you maybe interested to know I am one of the
descendants of the Bowling’s from the Orange Square area. Many years
ago my Father’s brother a John Bowling gave me some information
relating to the period you are interested in. Unfortunately, mainly
relating to the Bowlings, but never the less it maybe useful to
add a bit of background. If you are interested I will search it
out and give you a copy. I keep meaning to follow up his research,
but never seem to find time. I also have somewhere a picture of
Orange Square, just before it was demolished. Again, if you want
a copy I will try to find it for you. Please feel free to email
if you want more information. |

that in your family tree you have some Millers from Croston in Lancashire,
I would love to know more about them as I also have a Croston Miller
in my tree. The Miller that I have is a Margeret Millar who married
Robert Sumner on the 26th. December 1629 in Croston. Margeret died
on the 12th. October 1651 and Robert died on the 10th. October 1657.
Margeret is my gggggggggg grandmother and I know that she gave birth
to my ggggggggg grandfather Miles Sumner on the 25th. January 1635
in Croston of Ulnes Walton, Miles died on the 14th. May 1693. I
have an unbroken family tree from Margeret and Robert, but I have
no knowledge yet of thier parentage. I look forward to hearing from
you. Best wishes and kind regards to you and yours. Steve B. Reeve |
