I have the registers and am willing to do reasonable requests. Years covered are 1707-1837 for St. Michael and 1728-1837 for Copp Chapel.

Hello Phil,
I have two Robert Whittaker's born to Matthew and Ann Whittaker (they married in June 1763 I believe). This is for St Michael's.
One of the Roberts born in 1771 and the other in 1777 - have you any death recorded for the first Robert?
Thanks a lot
Neil

Phil,
Sorry, given you wrong information there - I think the 2 x Roberts may have been born in Stalmine in 1771 and 1777.
Matthew and Ann were married in St Michaels I believe in June1763.
Apologies again

Neil,
I could not find any reference to a Robert Whittaker in the St. Michael on Wyre registers. The only entries I could find for this surname both occured in 1728 as follows:
"May 17 John Whiteacre, & Margaret Law, Ins Ly [married the 17th day by Lycance from Garstang]"
"Nov 3 John s. John Whiteacre, Ins"
Sorry it took me so long to reply; I haven't checked in lately.

Hello Phil :)
Please can I take you up on your generous offer for a St Michael on Wyre lookup, for many years I have been trying to find a Leonard Billington around 1750 - +5 in that area. Also a marriage for Ann Billington and Thomas Hornby around 1777.
My husband's Billington line were all from that area.
Thanks
Janet :D

Janet,
I show the following marriage entry from St. Michael on Wyre:
August 18, 1777
Thomas x Hornby, Wood tp & Anne x Billington, Wood tp banns wit John Ratcliff, Agnes Houghton
I could not find Leonard Billington's baptism at St. Michael on Wyre but there is a Leonard Billington in the IGI born April 15, 1753 in Woodplumpton parish, son of John Billington, but it also shows that he died on January 12, 1758. However there is a Leonard Billington listed in several of the St. Michael on Wyre records as father of children being baptized and as a marriage witness and baptism sponsor.

:D Hi Phil
Thank you for your very speedy response!
The marriage entry is the one I have been looking for and the Leonard who is mentioned as a father and a witness at marriages is mine to but his baptism stays a mystery - I have a feeling that I read somewhere that he may have been from Cottam - but he remains a brick wall for the moment.
May I enquire if there are a lot of Billington entries?
Thanks again
cheers

Janet,
I am away from my pc at the moment but I recall that there were quite a number of Billingtons. Would you like further information? If so do you want it published here or a personal message?
My Tomlinson family, who were Upper Rawcliffe Catholics, seem to have interacted with the Billington family. The name Anthony Billington pops up from time to time -- I think he was a sponsor for one of my ancestor's baptism.
Let me know if you need anything else.

:) Hi Phil
A personal message would be great as I doubt that it would be of interest to many other people.
How interesting that the name Anthony Billington appears as a sponsor in your line as from memory - I don't have the folder to hand - Keith [husband] has an Anthony in his tree.
Being so far from England and Catholic records being a tad scarce on the internet the research for this line hads not been easy.
Once a gain thank you so much for your help.
cheers
Janet :D

Hi Phil,
Having just found information regarding my family in this area, I would appreciate you looking for any Holton people. The one I'm trying for is a Richard Wenlock HOLTON, he married a Frances FARRAND. He later dies in 1805.
Many thanks again,
Stella :)

Stella,
I searched the St. Michael on Wyre and Copp Chapel registers 1707-1837 for the name Holton/Halton (and any other variation I could think of) but the search was unsuccessful, as the name did not appear in any of the records. Were they C of E or were they Catholic? If they were Catholic I can search my Lancashire Catholic data for you if you like. Best of luck.

Hi Phil,
Many thanks for checking for me. As to them being C of E I'm pretty sure :-\
however, if you would'nt mind checking the other records, I'd appreciate that heaps! You never know, this family has eluded me for ages now!
Thanks again,
Stella

Hi Phil
I would appreciate a lookup please.
I am looking for the parents and siblings of James Bamber and Ann Waring. They were married St Michaels on Wyre 18/5/1835 (IGI).
According to censuses Ann was born Upper Rawcliffe around 1813.
James was born Cabus around 1813. I can find no baptism details for either on IGI.
I am not sure if Cabus comes under the St Michaels area, but I believe Upper Rawcliffe does. I would appreciate any information you might have.
Regards,
Liza

Hello Phil
I wondered if you could look up the Cornall Family. I have them in St Michael on Wyre, Woodplumpton,Elswick etc. I am trying to sort out ALL the Rowlands, Robert, James, Johns, Elizabeths - they seem to use the same names repeatedly!!!
A fairly broad request, I know but I'm hoping you can manage somenthing.
Many thanks
