I have some peripheral Mousdales in my Hitchmough family. Mary Mousdale Born 1788 in Frodsham, married Joseph Hitchmough in 1918 at St Oswald's Church in Chester. Mary's parents were John and Ann (nee Watson) born abt 162 and 1766respetively. Mary had siblings, Ann 1796, Ann 1798, Thomas 1801 born Tarporley, died Wallasey, Wiiral, John born 1803 Alvanley died Tranmere, Hannah born 1807, Margaret born 1808 and Elizabeth born 1810.
John born 1803 settled in Birkenhead and was a wheelright. He married Mary and had 2 children Thomas 1842 and John 1844. Thomas married Lucy Pickup and had Gertrude 1868 and Beatrice 1870.
Gertrude married Peter Barrow and had 5 children.
It appears that a large number of the family migrated to the Wirral in the Tranmere and Wallasey areas.
Hope this of interest.
Best wishes
