Notes:
| 7: | I have added brief marriage details for Margery and Alice, two of the daughters of John and Mary Morton of Claughton-on-Brock. You can view these new and updated pages from HERE. |
| 6: | For quite some time I have been exchanging information with my distant cousins David Swarbrick and Derek Sadler regarding the
Liverpool branch of our family. After being contacted by some other distant cousins, Marc Ball, Linda Young and Claire Vincent, I decided to update the
Liverpool branch and have added pages for Alfred, Robert and Elizabeth Swarbrick, three of the children of William and Martha. You can view these new and updated pages HERE. |
| 5: | One thing sometimes leads to another and after updating the Higson pages (see below) I decided to look at some of the other branches of the family and ended up adding quite a bit to the Dyson family pages. |
| 4: | I had all but given up on finding any information on Henry Boocock but my distant cousin Joy Seamons cracked this one. She first traced Henry and his family to Liverpool in 1851, but from there the trail went cold - until she decided to trace another member of the family, Catherine Susannah Higson. As it turns out, Catherine married one of the sons of Henry Boocock in Wales. After an extensive search of the Census - trying every imaginable variation in the spelling, she traced Henry to Monmouthshire in Wales. Joy was kind enough to share this information with me and I used that information to find a little more. I will continue to dig away at this branch of the family and add to this section of the website. |
| 3: | My distant cousin Frances Walsh has come to my rescue again. Mrs Walsh contacted me from the USA, where she is on holiday, to tell me that she had just been to lunch with Mrs Marion Jordan, who, despite the information on my website saying that she died in 1993, is very much alive. I sincerely apologize to Mrs Jordan and her family for this error and for any upset it may have caused. |
| 2: | After finding some further information, I decided to take a temporary break from working on the Norris family pages and update the pages concerning Mary (Swarbrick) Bamber and her children. These pages are still unfinished but add much more information than what was previously included. |
| 1: | I am currently working on the descendants of Robert Caunce Norris, son of Anne Norris, which follows the line of his only child, Ann "Nanny" Norris and her husband Thomas Rigbye, of Croston. |
