And it's free!!

We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the volunteers who work so hard providing us with all this information.

We are so lucky in Lancashire -- we have Lancs OPC and Lancs BMD - all work done by volunteers -- and then we have the Lancashire/Manchester/Liverpool records on Ancestry as well.
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

Yes sincere gratitude and thanks to all involved, certainly Lancashire is much better than most counties, where such records are scattered and often expensive to access. Good on you Lancs OPC :)
Interested in MUSSON and KNOWLES surnames mainly in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Lancashire. LAKIN and BURROWS surnames mainly in Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire and Derbyshire. RILEY surname in Leicestershire. FLETCHER surname in Derbyshire. Very interested in the DUDLEY surname.

Hi there,

I wondered if you are still researching your Knowles tree? I have an Ann Knowles who married into the Aldridge family in 1834.

I have her born in Sefton or Kirkdale in 1814. Her parents were James & Mary Knowles. He was a cow keeper living in Lambert Street, Liverpool.

I have James Knowles as being born in Sefton 1782 but admittedly that was more guess work via Ancestry so wondered if this was also your branch ? I cant find his marriage to Mary either.
Ive just been looking at LOPC, which is great but there are so many Knowles'  I'm not sure which one is mine! 

Would welcome your thoughts.
Thanks
