Lincolnshire / Re: Pilkington family in Lincolnshire

Thanks Larkspur - I haven't come across that area just yet but I will make a note for when/if I do and certainly get in touch if there is any occurrences. This too is my husband's family and every new discovery is wonderful for him. At the moment the search seems to centre on Boston, Spalding, Ecceshall and Grimsby areas.

Regards

Lincolnshire / Pilkington family in Lincolnshire
« on: Wednesday 25 May 11 20:50 BST (UK)  »
Is anyone researching the Pilkington family in the Lincoln area including Boston, St Swithin, Spalding?
Names of interest - Levi Pilkington 1811 - 1855; Levi Vickers Pilkington b abt 1936; Levi Westfield Pilkington b abt 1835; Joseph Pilkington b abt 1843. I can't seem to get further back than 1811 and there are quite a few holes for me to close!   ???

Thanks

Travelling People / Re: Anyone Looking For Cunningham And Swales In Yorks?
« on: Monday 28 June 10 22:39 BST (UK)  »
I'm new to Rootschat and have found it fascinating reading all the posts and seeing where I fit in! I am a Swales descended from Hannibal and Hannah Hall via Francis 1783, James 1817, John 1854, Henry 1879 etc. I have many many questions but to start off I'd like to ask the following:

I am also connected to the Meldrum family and have recently discovered a story about the Swales and the Meldrums being connected through a marriage with the Vareys. Being on here I see that the Vareys are potentially another inter-marrying family with the Swales. I have Jane Varey m Edward Meldrum 1931 - Jane Varey may have actually been a Swales but her m cert says her father is James Varey. Jane had a sister called Grace and I found a Grace Swales b 1896 whose parents were James Swales and Margaret (formerly Varey). Does anyone know anything about Swales and Varey or a story about Varey children being born in the workhouse and 'taken in' by Swales - any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
