Garston, Lancashire

[garstonite]

I'm afraid it's two years since I looked at Lancashire.  I thought I had drawn a blank and moved to another part of the family.  However, having now read your posts, carswhitehead, I can safely say that we are related.  My great grandfather's brother was William Reveley Tench born in Winlaton, Co. Durham.

thats nice - good to see a family connection - and good old Garston blood ....lol

Dont know how Mr Tibbs is connected to the Tench's.  I have found some more info on the Tench side.  Jack is going to visit the battlefields next year to see if he can find the graves/memorials of George and Richard Tench and John Groom on my dad's side.
Hope the family is all well.
