Hi,
I am new to this, I am interested in tracing my family tree on my fathers side "The Pugh's" from Willaston. I know that they can be traced back to Little Sutton not sure if my grandfather was Horace Pugh my dads name was john henry Pugh born 1907in Willaston I think that my grandmothers maiden name was Wright.
can anyone point me in the right direction
thanks

Hi Cyn, and welcome to Rootschat
Firstly you should obtain your father's birth certificate, which will confirm your grandparents names, and ensure that you are not tracing the wrong family :)
Free search for his birth at :

A John Henry Pugh is registered in the December Quarter for 1907 in Wirral, follow the links which explains how to obtain the birth certificate.
There are 2 Pugh families in Willaston on the 1901 Census, both have a Horace James Pugh, the most lightly candidate is this family
Arthur Pugh born abt 1900 in Willaston, Cheshire, England Son
Cyril Pugh born abt 1899 Willaston, Cheshire, England Son
Horace James Pugh born abt 1875 Willaston, Cheshire, England Head
Martha Pugh born abt 1878 Stapleford, Cheshire, England Wife
