Potentially interesting site Bill. I've bookmarked it and I'll come back to it at a later date.
One potential obstacle you might wish to consider is defining exactly where the boundaries of "Heaton Norris" are, particularly over time, as the boundaries have changed several times over the years. There certainly is no specific boundary to the area nowadays and it's tends to melt into the Heatons Mersey and Moor and into Reddish (or Heaton Reddish as it once was).
The other thing to consider, of course, is whether we should be discussing this on the "Cheshire" board as Heaton Norris is north of the river and consequently, apart from a very brief period, has always been in Lancashire!
Part from this, if the original poster is still around, I'd be interested to know if any of your BANKS line connects with the name HOOPER in the 1950s.
