Thank-you JJen & gortonboy. That John William Dillon and the Thomas Dillon/Ann Mason marriage are both possibilities which I've come across but I really need to get a hold of the birth certificate, which would hopefully give the mother's maiden name for a match, and the marriage certificate, or the original church records, which is why I'm wondering what churches my ancestors might have attended. I've seen a number of church record CD's which one can order on line now, not sure which one to go for.

Hi Dillonseeker,

I have been researching some Dillons from the Chorlton/Gorton (with the additional complication that they lived in Canada and Malta for a while).  If you can see any connection with your Dillons, please let me know because I can help.
