Find Ancestors

Heversham is a nice place and not far at all from Silverdale....some of my Fawcett family lived at Heversham.......we might tie up one day!!!
Thanks Sylvia

we were there in June


..... went to look at the old house (from the outside), which was not sold out of the family until the early 1950s, so husband remembers it well. It was called Ellahow.

We stayed in the Blue Bell Hotel .... and then went gravestone hunting in Preston Patrick church. Do you know there?

Yes i know preston Patrick church, i need to make a visit there myself to find my Swannack branch when i get the time, my Grandmother Frances mary Swannack nee Fawcett and her eldest daughter Joan (mothers sister) were sadly killed in a road accident in 1960 just past the Bluebell Hotel.....sad bit of info but this area is remember because of this.
There are afew relatives in heversham church connected to the fawcetts to find one day also

how sad .................. but I can understand how there coud be an accident. Not exactly straight roads are they?


Wonder if there's a connection to my OH's Taylor/Parks???????????????????

Hi Sylvia....i've just had a look on www.lan-opc.org
under warton near lancaster st oswalds parish and there are 40 entries for park back to 1592 and 214 entries back to 1572 for taylor...which could be connected to yours as warton is near Heversham....within ten miles if not less...might be worth a look.....i've just found some more info on Ester Bouskill / Robinson thanks to you pointing me in the right area.....the lancashire open parish clerk (lan-opc) is a free site.....

best wishes

There's a ruin on the cartmel fell penninsula called Ellahowe that looks over to morecambe bay.....wonder if this house of your husbands family was named after this view point as i bet it can be seen with binoculars from Heversham......possibile i bet
