Hi Cheshire Farrington
Welcome to Rootschat -
I don't know if you've had a look at the familysearch pilot site but there are a few entries for Farringtons in Cheshire-including a Richard in 1789.
You can input the place names in the location but if you just put Cheshire you should see Farringtons in other parts of Cheshire as well.
You could also search for the surname without inputting a christian name and again see other Farringtons as well as Richard.
Here's the - link

There are also some records on th IGI -

Apologies if you already have this information.
Good Luck

Hello,
I have just started looking at this line of my family tree - my 3xGreat Grandmother was Hannah Farrington born 1793 in Haslington, to Thomas and Sarah Farrington.
Hannah's descendents married into the Emberton and Lunt families which have strong connections with Audley and Barthomley.
I would love to hear from you if you think we could share any information.
Best regards

I have just discovered my connections to LUNT in Barthomley, including John Lunt b 1799 and Jonadab Vernon Lunt b 1775. Other surnames SHUFFLEBOTHAM and STEELE. Any overlap? - Kathryn

Hi Kathryn
I don't recognise those names but I definitely have Steele in my tree.
I will look into and get back to you.
My Aunt has done alot of work on the Lunt family in Barthomley and has a couple of books on the history of the village, so they may help too.
will be in touch
Best regards

Hi Kathryn
I have checked my tree and others on Ancestry, and it would seem that your John Lunt's Paternal Grandparents were Thomas Lunt and Elizabeth Steele. Thomas and Elizabeth are my 6xGreat Grandparents so we must be somehow related!
I'm hoping to see my Aunt soon so will borrow the books on Barthomley and let you know what I can find out about your ancestors.
Best regards
Emma
