Hi Lesley

This is my family line Samuel Mealor and Ann Huntingdon were my 3x Great Grandparents.

I have a fair bit of information in my tree from others that have started research as well as census entries for many of the family including the Penketh and Parrs that took over the farm as it was passed down through the generations.

I'd be interested in your connection to the family.

Regards

I'm sure this was the family of Mealors who owned Mealors ploughs business in Ness (later became mealors mowers) as they were farmers as well, applied for a patent for one of their ploughs. I have some old photo's of the outside of the premises I will dig them out
