I don't actualy get much chance to speak much Welsh in Watford and now my dad and uncle are no longer with us I'm the only Welsh speaker left, although my 6 year old can pass the time of the in it.

Mackreth if you don't mind!   

Many Mackreths in Wrexham. They came down from the Lake District (Grassmere) in the late 1700's, Before this they were Makereths, but due to the fact they couldn't read and write it got changed to Mackreth (pronounced Makreath) and stuck. Wrexham is a stronghold for them I think, very few elsewhere.
I've never done a search on ancestry for them though as I've picked up some work done by a family member, so I could be wrong

Just googled Mackreth and got here....  Do you know anyone who has researched th name Mackreth in the Lakes?  I'm trying to prove a link with my line of Cape/McKensie's as in Cockermouth 1841 a Hannah Mackreth 79 is living with them.  Later on in 1855 a Mackereth Cape is born in clearly named after family.

Any help appreciated!

Mmmmmmmmmm,
Nope no Hannah threre. Let me have your email adress and I'll pass you over to the great sage of all things Mackreth.

My great uncle Frank did a great deal of research and spent a lot of time in the Lakes in the 1970s. The youngest of 6 sibblings he's still with us.
His work was followed up by the great sage herself and with the use of modern technology she has expanded on Frank Mackreth's works.

Hi, Rootschat debutant here. Is this thread still alive &/or is it all sorted?

I am researching Mckenzie Mackreth and Robinsons and their variant spellings.
For info:My findings are that Hannah Mackreth was born a Robinson in 1761.
Mackreth Cape, the 6 of 13 kids all surviving to adulthood (i believe). Son of Eleanor McKenzie (my G Granddad sister) and William Cape.
Any shared research, to assist and confirm would be welcome. Thanks

Hi,

Yes this is still alive (although it took me a while to find my login).  William Cape and Eleanor McKenzie are my ggg grandparents.  All my info is on my tree on ancestry.com (jamesperry196) also on Findmypast.
