The Myerscough and Hull pages have been corrected. It is now obvious that two James Hulls born at the beginning of the 19th century were confused but were two distinct individuals. James Hull who married Mary Cardwell and moved to Fleetwood was NOT the son of James Hull and Ellen Cross of Singleton. He may have been a cousin of some degree but the 18th century history is unclear. This leaves James Hull born about 1806 as the earliest known ancestor of Mary Alice Hull who married Thomas Lupton. The other James Hull moved into Preston as an innkeeper and bricksetter. There is still a family relationship with his wife, Isabella Myerscough and also to Ellen, Isabella's sister, who married James's brother John Hull (two sisters marrying two brothers) - they were first cousins through the Myerscoughs to the Armours, so descendants of these Hulls are still of course related though not so closely as thought. This odd group is illustrated with a small family tree now included on both the first of the two Myerscough pages and on the Hull page.
Amendments were also needed to the Lupton page, with more details of Thomas II's brother Richard who did not after all have any children, and also died not long after the 1871 census.A photo of St Walburge's has also been added and the sad story of Henry Lupton and his doomed family.
Much more to come.

Part 1. Overview of three separate Oldham families which were very well-known to each other, descending from William, John and Joseph. Only Joseph is known to be an ancestor of Isobel, below! Whether the other two are related is unknown but William's son married John's daughter - an Oldham marrying an Oldham. Read and refer to this page to understand references elsewhere as the repetition of the same first names many times in the Oldham families can be confusing.
Part 2. Joseph Oldham and his wife Mary Wood and their 15 children with two of their sons on separate pages (for reasons of length)
Part 3. Joseph's son William Oldham and his family
Part 4. Joseph's grandson, also called Joseph, and the Dorning family
Part 5. Joseph's son John and granddaughter Martha, the main line, leading to the Stockwells.5th May - Isobel, 5 weeks old to the day and smiling at her mum!

The Arrowsmiths are now on a new page with lots of new information and a new family tree including the Meager, Grant, Matson and March families who are all inter-related. It includes an account of a case in Chancery and either some carelessness or some sleight of hand with the Arrowsmiths largely picking up the bill! More to come on the Oldhams next with some equally intriguing new connections....January
Beginnng of a major update with new census information, new families and some interesting, occasionally surprising, discoveries.
The first phase (updated 23rd Jan) contains some puzzles, largely owing to incomplete entries - no relationships given, wrong dates, impossible dates etc and some mis-spellings in indexes (quite apart from the fact that there was no 'standard' spelling!) - plus new 18th-early 19th century information, all related to the Arrowsmith family and at present added to the introduction to the Cope family of Lambeth (/history/cope.htm) Much more to come on a variety of other families.....2007
May
Correction to dates in the Wood/Searles family - Richard Wood and Jane Searles were married in 1752 (from mf in Ipswich Record Office), not 1753 - that date was taken from the IGI record which incorrectly read the surname Searles as 'Barth'. (All was entered correctly in the quote from the family bible)More photos added to the previous collection, Memories, now expanded to two overlapping and linked files. The new album, Conga, (you'll see why the name) includes a big family party in the garden of what appears to be a dormer bungalow somewhere in the home counties. Can anyone identify any of the people and/or the locations? More to come for both north and south....
Congratulations!
