Hi
I have a lot of relatives in that area arround that time by the sirname of Woodcock, Needham, and to some extent Hutton. Although I haven't a link to the Needham girl you mentioned in your posting I believe this only to be because I haven't followed that particular line fully. If you are still interested please reply and let me know and together we can unravel the links.
I also have some copies of parish registers which may be of use.
Hope to hear from you soon
Christy

John.

I have an Ann WALKER in My Family Tree (she Married William HIGHTON in Liverpool, Lanc's on 16th April 1854, when she stated that Her Father was 'Joseph WALKER, occ: Farmer').

Ann was Born C1840 in Liverpool/West Derby, the Only Joseph WALKER (Occ: Farmer) that I have found with a Daughter Ann was Born & Lived in Huyton & Halewood, but this can't be My Ann WALKERs father,  because His Ann is Still living with Him on the 1861 Census, when I Know that mine was in Ireland with her Husband (giving birth to Her 2nd Child Thomas HIGHTON).

Have You come across My Ann & Joseph WALKER in Your research? ??? ::)
Hertzberger, Highton, Walker, Eaton, Webster, Brown, Wright, Speed, Dodd, Holland, Melling, Murphy, Edwards, Bennett, Collins, Critchley, Duffy, Owens, Morgan & Humphreys
