I wonder if anyone can help to link our Macclesfield Latchford family to the Astley/Leigh lot?
We have traced back to a Giles Latchford born in Macclesfield 1785 I know there is also a Giles Latchford born in Leigh in 1782/1785 with father Cornelius Latchford, then they trace back in Leigh for a few more generations.
Our Giles Latchford b 1782/1785 was baptised in Macclesfield, and there are Latchford's in the parish registers dating back further than 1782 in Macclesfield. Our Giles Latchford married Elizabeth Oakes in 1801 in Macclesfield.
I have all my Latchford family on the census tracing back to 1841 living in Parsonage Street, Macclesfield, so I know that he is not the Giles Latchford from Astley/Leigh.
see my website for our Macclesfield Latchford family tree

The problem in that Giles, Cornelius, William, Harriet are all names that also run through the Leigh/Astley branch of Latchford's, I just wondered if anyone has managed to find a connection to our Latchford's in Macclesfield.
I know that the name Latchford comes from a small hamlet in Warrington, Latchford. Warrington being roughly between Macclesfield and Leigh/Astley.
Looking forward to any replies with any help.
kind regards
Lizzie (Wallie)
