I'm having a devil of a time trying to send an email to someone that I communicated with on this site several months back.  It was regarding the name DIXON in the Whitehaven /Parton area.  His name was Ayess.  If anyone can help me, I certainly would appreciate it.  Thanks.    RTR

Art, Wow! That's a surprise.  Maybe I can ask your help/advice on another issue.  Next June or July my wife and I are planning a trip to England.  Actually, we are going on a Land Tour of England, Scotland and Wales.  The tour begins in Edinburgh and ends in London.  We were thinking about coming over a week or so early and heading down to Whitehaven/Parton from Edinburgh.  Is there a better/closer airport to Whitehaven that would make more sense?   I have no idea as to how far it would be to travel down and of course back to Edinburgh to start the Tour.  Is it a trip I would make by train or would renting a car make more sense!  Remember, we Americans drive on the wrong side of the street!!  What would you recommend?  Also, are there any nice Bed and Breakfasts or other lodging facilities that you might recommend in or near Whitehaven.  Any information/suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!!

Ayess,  Thanks for the lead.  I believe this was my Great Grandfather.  On my Grandfathers manifest, he lists his father as Isaac.  To much of a coincidence. I'm in the USA and it's so difficult trying to piece things together.  I just got off of the phone with an uncle of mine who is 93 and the only relative to travel to the UK from time to time.  Unfortunately at 93, his recall is a bit limited.  Thanks again for your help!!

Geoff-E,  Many thanks for the info.  It does match with what little I have.  I hope to visit the UK next year and would love to get up to Whitehaven to see where we come from.  Again, thanks!!  Also, do you , by any chance, have the email of 2 lil dickie birds?  It was those words that totally intrigued me, since they were a favorite of my grandfathers and I have not heard them in almost 40 years!

I accidently stumbled on this website while I was looking up ancestry in England for the family name Dixon.  I was quite surprised when I saw your name, 2 lil dickie birds.  My Grandfather used to say and play the little game when I was just a child.  I have never heard that expression used by anyone, until I saw your name on this site.

My Grandparents came to the US from Whitehaven, near Parton.  His name was Joseph Bushire Dixon.  I was wondering if you have ever heard that name in your research?
