In late 1800s Wood Lane and Paradise Farm existed in this area. Does anyone know of a connection between the two, and do either still exist

Hi brephy, I know Wood Lane still exists I pass it every time I go to the archives in Hawarden  .
I don't know about Paradise Farm 
What makes you think there is a connection between the two  ?
Paul.

Thanks Paul. I have the birth certificate of my grandfather born Wood Lane May 1867 and the person who registered the birth was "Occupier" of Wood Lane - no number. His name was Weigh and was married to a probable relation. I know that a Weigh family lived at Paradise Farm 1881. I wondered if it was in Wood Lane and if grandfather could have been born there. What is is like now?

Hi Thankyou very much for that information and for offering to send any more. Interesting that the Weigh Family lived there for so long. It does appear that grandfather was born at the farm as there is no number stated. Perhaps there were no more houses in Wood Lane at that time. I should like to know anything you can discover.
Thanks again

Hi brephy, if you could post some Christian names I'll see if I can find any thing in the archives.
Paul.

Thankyou. The man who registered the birth of my grandfather Aaron Phythian in 1867 was Edward Weigh. He was a farmer from Hawarden when he married Jane Yates of Liverpool in 1851. Aaron's mother Sarah Phythian was the daughter of Sarah nee Yates also born Liverpool. In 1871, Sarah and Aaron were back home in Haydock with the family. I would like to know all about Jane and Edward and any children. Edward's father was Robert Weigh, also a farmer.
Thanks again

Thankyou JeannieR. I am really getting a picture of the Weigh family now and where my grandfather was born. It does look as though Edward, his father and probably other family members worked on Paradise Farm and they lived in the farm house or perhaps a cottage on Wood Lane belonging to the farm. They were such a large family, I doubt they would have had room for my great grandmother if she had not been related.
Best wishes
