Baptism: 4 Jun 1710 St Mary the Virgin, Goosnargh, Lancashire, England
Richard Lancaster - son of Wm: Lancaster
Abode: Goosnr:

Goosnargh to Ormskirk is 30 miles -
possibly father William was a farmer / Ag Labourer ??
...

Baptism: 20 Mar 1725/6 All Saints, Newton Heath, Lancashire, England
Rich. Lancaster - Son of Tho Lancaster & Sarah

Moston to Ormskirk is 41 miles - a Webster was a Loom operator - Weaving trade - so I can't see this father Thomas moving to Ormskirk

AH - so - if the fistborn son of Richard and Ellin is THOMAS - that may point towards the Richard born Newton Heath 1725 /26 - father Thomas ...it was fairly common for a firstborn son to be named after dad or grandad ...

There's a North Meols (a.k.a. Southport area) family history site which is wonderful at finding all sorts of information. I think if you just type in "Southport Family History" you'll be directed to the site, and their forum is really good - what they state is accurate, and if they don't know, very like here, they'll jolly well either find out, or know someone who can. Try it. You may find a whole new mob - most Southport families seem to be interrelated.

The first born son was Richard in 1742. Thomas was born in 1747.

I did a check to see if Richard left ba will but couldn't see one. Lancaster is not a surname local  to Ormskirk so it is possibly the family have links elsewhere. Ulnes Walton is Leyland/Chorley way.

There is an Ormskirk Family History Society and the Lancashire & SW Lancashire Cove the Omskirk/Slelmersdale area
