Hi Mishcat, thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay.
I've come across your family before but haven't made a link yet. However, I have been in Cheddleton for the weekend and I'm now certain that all Wilshaws from that area are related in some way or another...the trick is to find out how
The earliest that I have is George Wilshaw born 1763 -1850 married to Annie Hulme and they lived in cheddleton village. His son George Wilshaw (b.1817) married the widow Mary Barber in 1840.
On my visit I discovered that nearly every other persons name is Wilshaw or Barber.
So, hello distant cousin
