My g. g. g. grandfather Richard Dickinson was born c. 1811 in Churchtown, in the general area of Southport, I think. He was a shoemaker by occupation. In July 1833 he married Ann(e) Gerrard (born Crosby c. 1811) in Liverpool. Their daughter Mary Jane was born c. 1844 and married Robert Wilson in the Edgehill area of Liverpool in 1866. Have been unable to find definite death dates for Richard and Ann(e) as the christian and surnames are relatively common.
