I'm looking for other descendents of these family's who were - at one time - family's in Hull, East Yorkshire.
I'm keen to make contact with any descendents of any of these family's because I have photographs of some of them and would like to tie them into my tree.
Michael McLocklan b.1834 in Belfast, Ireland, married Mary Pexton b1829 in Hull, on the 7th October, 1856 in Hull, East Yorkshire.
Their son, George Pexton McLocklan b. 1858, married Mary McDermott Gawthorpe b. 1859 on the 22nd December, 1878 in Hull, East Yorkshire.
They had five children, I am descended from one (Mary Pexton McLocklan) but another of their sons, George H McLocklan b.1890, married to Agnes W Stinson b.1892, in 1912 in Hull, East Yorkshire.
Another child, Annie McLocklan b.1881, was married in 1902 to a Gerard Sharpe in Hull, East Yorkshire.
If anyone has any connection with these families or knows of anyone who may have connection, could you get in touch - I may have some photographs of you ancestors and would like to share them with you.
Kind regards,
David

Hi, I'm related to Pexton's of Hull, but can't tie in with any of the other names you mention. James and Mary Pexton had Ellen 1853, Elizabeth and Rebecca Alice 1854, and Fred 1855 who was my Gr.Grandfather. They were all born in Wyton, Hull. The Pexton's are proving very evasive, so if you can tie in with any of these, any help would be gratefully received.

Hi Kaebee,
Give me some time with this - I will have a look at my tree and see where those names fit in.
I'll most likely get back to you next Wednesday - going to dragged away from my genealogy for a few days!
Warm regards,
David

Hello again kaebee,
Well, I've taken a look through my family tree and I cannot find any of the names you have mentioned.
However, I am in touch with other Pexton's with roots from around the Hull area - I could copy and paste your query in an email to them to see if any of those names you've mentioned appear in their family trees?
In the meantime the Pexton family tree keeps on growing - so I've no doubt I'll come across these names and that of your Grandfather at some time or other!
Let me know if you'd like me to forward your query, and keep in touch.
Good to hear from you.

Hi Kaebee,
Could you contact me on my personal email address - dbobfish@billykipper.karoo.co.uk
We might be able to make a link between our Pexton families.

I have some links to a Pexton family while researching my grandmother's family - The Plaxtons.
The Pextons I have found are -
Hannah Pexton, b. 1813 Brompton by Sawdon - married to John Coverley - their son Henry married Ellen Plaxton
Elizabeth Pexton, b. abt 1757 - married to Robert Coverley 1776 in Hutton Buscel - their daughter Hannah married George Plaxton in Brompton by Sawdon.
I know these aren't in Hull, but do you know of any links?
