Foulkes in England
« on: Thursday 28 June 18 11:06 BST (UK) »
Looking at a records related to Ellen Foulkes (b.1791) and gives her father Samuel as being from Tranmorc which is likely in Bebington, Cheshire, England. A few refs. to it on web, not a lot tho. This line stops about here (1790) in time. She later marries a John Newton. Just looking for fresh images here for looking further or to hear from anyone who is looking at the same line from some other direction.

I'm not researching this family, but may I suggest that the place name is more likely to be Tranmere?

A probable marriage for Samuel could be 1st January 1788, Liverpool, St Anne Richmond, to Gaynor Highcock.
A Gainer Foulks [sic] is buried in Bebington St. Andrews on the 13th September 1808 described the wife of Samuel Foulks of Tranmere.
Hope that's a point in the right direction for further research.

I should add Samuel is described as a Mariner (ties in with Tranmere) on the marriage entry & it was by Banns.
{This record was provided by Liverpool and South West Lancashire Family History Society in Index form only}

Samuel was buried at St. Andrews Bebington on the 8th March 1812 {described as of Tranmere}.

Thanks for these pointers.
The place name in records seems to read as Tranmorc however Transmere was my first translation and was within a reasonable distance of the parish.
