Surprised as well, have just always presumed that Squire's were 'Landlubbers' and a bit like well off Yeoman. Presumably she had no siblings and her father must have come over from Ireland to Lancashire where he met her mother. His book/books must have been about the sea or sailing one again presumes. Thanks for the info, really finding the little girls life quite interesting.

Squire was often used as a forename

Just overwhelmed at the amount of information that you have been able to obtain for me in such a small time. Outstanding to say the least. Thank you all very much. Can I just confirm that Mary & Clement were Squire Lecky's grandchildren!

Thanks again
