Hello, I wonder if you could help?.

I lived for a number of years at Oversley Ford Farm. A home which despite its noisy neighbour, grew to be very close to my heart.

I saw your response on Roots and it occurred to me that you used the name 'Perrin'. My own investigations led me to a John Perryn who lived at OversleyFord for many years, having leased or purchased the holding from Peter Finney-Davenport. who lived there 1785-1799 when he returned to the family seat Fulshaw Hall.

I have no doubt that if you are seriously searching, you will already be aware of this and the Tithes records which clearly show his presence within Pownall Fee.

My reason for making contact is that my own records (photos, etc), were lost in my retirement move to Spain.

I am simply trying to trace drawing, painting, or photograph of a place I loved which now lies desecrated by the fire station which serves the second runway at Manchester Airport.

I would be very grateful if you could inform me if you come across any information which you think may help.

Thanks

Cam Tomson
