Hi,
And welcome to RootsChat. :D
You will have to be a little more specific. All on RootsChat are volunteers, you will have to let us know what information you are looking for, where you have looked etc.
If you require a lookup on a particular resource you will need to post a lookup request on the lookup request board.
If you require general advice where to start etc. these 2 threads will help, just click on the links:

Hi Elsie,
The Moosejaw Library may be able to provide you with some information about Robert Whatmough being a Mayor. As far as I'm aware the title Lord Mayor only exists in British and Irish cities. http://tiny.cc/VGDXU
Have you been able to trace more about the Westwood and Whatmough families?

Good Luck in your search.
