Pease, I truly don't need any look-ups of any kind.
Posting to USA forum due to John WHYATT's (below) older brother Joseph WHYATT settled in 1) Fall River Mass; 2) Taunton Mass. A nephew Frederick WHYATT (father Thomas) to both settled in Passaic NJ. They were all cotton mill workers. Siblings of Joseph's & John's worked cotton mills in and around Cheshire UK. John had 3 daughters who migrated to USA from Nova Scotia. Now many descendants all over, from these WHYATTs.
Just seeking anyone who descends from the above & my great-grandfather John WYATT (WHYATT*) born 1849 Stockport Cheshire - died 1899 Bedford NS and Margaret MCCLUSKY* born 1857 Glasgow Scotland - died 1943 Bedford NS.
*WHYATT - Spelling on all English & Scottish BMD certs & cenus. Only with transcripts of John's older 3 siblings' baptisms is it WYATT.
*MCCLUSKY-MCCLUSKEY - From 9 BMD certs & several census reports, this surname is spelt without the 'e'. On several certs it is actually spelt MCLUSKY. Only on the two English certs and the Canadian certs/bapt does it have the 'e'.
