What did you want to know about your father? As you sign yourself as Hill, did you lose touch with him? We do need to be careful in case he is still living.....unless you know differently

Is this relevant, or where you wanting to know about your heritage?

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your help. My mother Muriel Ruby Hill devoiced my farther when I was about 11, she changed our surname back to her maiden name of Hill. I last saw my farther Thomas Ackers in 1993 about six months before he died.
I have no information on my father’s side of the family other than:
His father was Ernest Ackers born in 1903. He Married Mary Coulshed born 1905. They had two sons Thomas and Gordon. Gordon died I think when he was about 5years old.
If anyone has any information about the above and would like to share I would be most grateful.
Many Thanks
Raymond Hill (Ackers)

Ackers in Wigan in the 1700s/1800s

Three of the sons Thomas, Hamlet and Ralph out of the 8 children born in Newton and Wigan in the 1730/40s appear to have stayed in Wigan. A number of the Ackers living in Wigan in the 1800s seem to have come from that source. There doesn't appear to be any other Ackers families actually living in Wigan in the 1730s/40s but there is a family in West Houghton that includes a number of children born in the same era and with the same christian names as our family. The father of the West Houghton family is also called Hamlet which suggests the families may be linked but this is unknown.

The youngest 3 siblings out of the 8 are listed as born in Ince, Wigan so it can be assumed that is where the family lived in the 1740/50s. Later on, Ralph is recorded as a Husbandsman ( tenant farmer ) living in Wallgate, Wigan in the 1780s and as there arent any other Ralph's around must be the right one. There are 2 Thomas Ackers around in the right era, one a farmer/weaver in Hindley ( married to Frances ) and one who marries Betty Ashurst in Wigan in 1764 and appears to be the correct Thomas due to the children's names agreeing with the will of William Ackers. This Thomas appears to move to Winstanley, Wigan and his offspring are baptised at Billinge church and are farmers on the Winstanley estate. There was an Ackers farm there in living memory. There is a Hamlet Ackers, a weaver, living in Hindley in 1780s, the assumption is he is our Hamlet but there is one born in 1750 in West Houghton also ?

In the 1851 census there are 2 Ackers families on farms in the Winstanley area, and a number of familes in Hindley and Wigan itself.

Old Historic Families (1)



Families of the Northwest of England, Greater Manchester, Cheshire & Lancashire


Many of the old families of Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire can trace their ancestries back to the Norman Conquest of 1066. Their names effectively echo the long history of the region and are imprinted in districts and townships whose streets and placenames record their passing.


Alphabetical Order:


The Acker family of Little Moreton, Congleton


An old Anglo-Saxon surname, referring to a plot of arable land, deriving from the old English pre-7th Century word "aecer", meaning a ploughed field or cultivated land, which became "acker" (or 'acre') in Middle English. There are a number of spelling variations, including Acres, Ackers, Acors, Akers, Akess and Akker. The first recorded spelling of the family name is that of William del Acr',1214, in the "Curia Regis Rolls of Sussex", during the reign of King John. A Coat of Arms granted to the Ackers family is a silver shield with three gold acorns, husked green, on a black bend, the Crest being a dove rising proper, in the beak an acorn of the arms, and the Motto: "La Liberté" (Liberty).
One George Ackers (born 1788) owned Little Moreton Hall near Congleton, Cheshire and his son, George Holland Ackers, was High Sheriff for the County of Cheshire in 1852. The Ackers of Moreton Hall were landed gentry who also built Christ Church, in Wheelock near Sandbach. There is also an Ackers Crossing in the same area. James Ackers ( 1752 - 1824 ), described as the 'father of the silk trade' in Manchester, built Lark Hill Mansion on the site of what is now Salford Museum and Art Gallery. In 1792 he was Borough Reeve to the City of Manchester, later Deputy Lieutenant for Lancashire and in 1800 was appointed High Sheriff of Lancashire. The Ackers also had a branch in Merseyside, where Ackers Hall was located and lands were held in the surrounding districts and townships of Roby, Huyton, Whiston, Prescot and Rainhill.

Ackers of Great Moreton Hall

The Great Moreton estate was bought for £57,107 in 1793 by James and Holland Ackers of Bank House, Manchester, the sons of a fustian manufacturer from Bolton (Lancs), who had made a fortune from land speculation in Manchester. Holland Ackers died in 1801, leaving a young son, and during his minority James lived at Great Moreton. In 1809, when his nephew came of age, James built Lark Hill House, Salford as an alternative residence, and Great Moreton passed to Holland’s descendants. His grandson, George Holland Ackers (1812-72) inherited in 1836 and employed Edward Blore to build a large new house on a new site in 1841-46. On the expiry of his widow’s life interest in about 1900, the house passed to his elder daughter Georgiana (d. 1907), the wife of Sir Charles Shakerley, bt.. At her death it passed to her second son, who changed his name to Shackerley-Ackers in 1908, but later reverted to Shakerley. He sold the house for use as a school in 1931, and inherited the family baronetcy on the death of his elder brother in 1943.
