I have a Mary Brocklebank in my tree from around that area born around 1796. Probably a link with her somewhere along the lines. Also lots of Brockbanks from around that area.

Hi there! Don't have anything useful to contribute to your search really, but just had to drop by to say that I was kicking over Silecroft beach last weekend and found a brick there with 'W B Walker Brickworks - Sylecroft' stamped in it. Added it to my collection of bricks that I have found from round the area which I use as doorstops. My Mum saw it and said that Grandad used to have a heap of those in his back yard. She said that Will Walker lived in Kellet House in Silecroft right behind our then home (we had Kellet Cottage just behind Kellet House for 40 years) and that Walkers owned the brick kiln on what is now Silecroft Caravan site up the road. The clay was dug out from what is now the duck pond end of the caravan site, and the sand was brought up from the beach at the end where my caravan now stands. Perfect site for a brickworks with plentiful clay, water and sand. She said my Great Gran remembered Walker's Bricks were all laid out in the sunshine on the field to dry before kilning, right in the place where our caravan stands now!
