Hello, I'm trying to get some idea of the history of our branch of the Farrell Family. I'm the only son of Jack Farrell who was the only son of Joseph Farrell. Joseph appears to have had 3 brothers, Daniel, a mine worker (who I suspect was killed down Cronton Colliery) John (maybe worked at BICC) and Thomas. Joseph lived in and around Whiston and Prescot and worked as a miner, labourer,steward of Prescot Conservative Club, and later as Landlord of the Sun Inn Prescot.. My Dad Jack was born & bred in Prescot and worked in the Estate Office Knowsley. I was born & bred in Huyton/Prescot and moved to Manchester in 1957, I now live in Crewe. I have vague reccolections of one of my Grandfather's relatives who had some involvement with a Fire Brigade, (possibly at Pilkingtons St. Helens) who later moved to Scotland (Oban area) Sadly he had a heart attact in the early '50s and drowned If anyone has any information about my Granddads brothers I would be very grateful Geoff Farrell.
