Christopher, do you think we have a surname in our family trees and country we can connect.

Hi Yogi,

I listed the areas that I am researching and the names that I am researching.
I looked at your postings and the names you are researching and Devonshire appears to be the only common denominator. Have you spotted a name or something else other that Devonshire on my list that made you ask the question ?
I will check the line of the family from Devon that I am following to see if any of your names match.

Hallo everyone, England is my main place of research, Kent and Sussex to be precise. although only today have I found another long lost cousin in America. One branch of the tree is rather elusive and I am stuck in Etchingham, Sussex in 1747!

My parents are from the Preston area of Lancashire, where my paternal male line has been since at least 1827.
My great grandad was a "Cockney" from Kentish Town, three branches of my mums family are Irish in origin, and my mums family seem to be from all over - Wigan, Liverpool, Gloucestershire, Suffolk.

My dads family are mainly Lancashire and London, although i know very little past my great grandparents. My dad family might also have some Welsh and Yorkshire branches.

There have been rumours of foriegn ancestors, and i would be really pleased to be able to confirm some foeirgn ancestry.

The names of my family in no given order are -

Smith, Bracewell, Maynard, Clegg, Callaghan, Clark, Warner, Tyler, Gilbey
McKenna, Gibbons, Godbold, Marshall, Banister, Mather, Mair, Albert, Edwards
Ricketts, Dodd, Pearce, Harling, Ditchfield, Crompton, Willis, Brown, Whittle
Wilkinson, Rogerson, Scott, Lyon
Smith (Lancashire), McKenna (Ireland/Liverpool/Leyland), Maynard (Hertfordshire/London/Preston), Ricketts (Gloucestershire/Wigan/Preston), Scowcroft (Preston), Harling (N. Yorkshire/Lancashire), Willis (Preston), Clegg (Manchester/Preston), Dodd (Wigan/Cheshire), Alston (Lancashire), Hulks (Hertfordshire), Nicholson (Lancashire/Cumbria), Russell (Lancashire), Wilson (Cumbria), Bracewell (Lancashire), Moxham (Lancashire0
