My Ellis family resided in the Runcorn District from the 1700's into the late 1800's when the area became part of Lancashire England.  I am hoping to share information and find maiden names of some of my female ancestors.

Given names for the men: Joseph, Samuel, Charles, John and James were passed on from generation to generation.

Other surnames linked with the Ellis families were: Ratcliffe, Hignett, Williams and LLoyd.  Any help or direction will be appreciated.  Thanks, Les

Looking for Charles Ellis born 1821 or 1823 in Weston, son of Joseph and Martha ? Ellis.  Charles married Ann ? from Overton and I don't have a marriage for them. Their second child was Joseph (my great grandfather) born 1857 in Weston. I am hoping to find maiden names of the women and marriage record for Charles and Ann.

I have read that there is available as a census substitute or miscellaneous records "Wilson of Co. Cavan" held at the Ruling Church Body Library. I understand that this library is in Dublin. Does anyone know if this record is held at a local Co. Cavan library? Or can someone check this record while in Dublin? If this is possible, contact me with the necessary names, places and dates that I know. Thanks,  Marilyn

Looking for anyone who has Wilson ancestry living in Co. Cavan.  All I know is that the Wilson's came from Co. Longford in the 1600's to settle in Co. Cavan...probably the area close to the Louth border. We have given names of John, William, Thomas. In the 1830's or so, a William Wilson and his large family of 7 sons and 5 daughters left for Hope, Ontario, Canada (children's names Anne Jane married Stewart Hooey, Matilda, John, Mary, William, Mathew, David, Thomas, Henry, Charles, Joseph, Seraph and Essy).

 Our Wilson's held their farming land in the SE section of Co. Cavan under Sir William Young.  Hopefully someone has information to help me in my search. Thanks!
