Hi
My inbox is full, so I've posted here
Further to my message, I think John b 1804 is younger brother to my Ralph b 1800. This belief is based on the fact they are both Fairhursts from Haydock and were colliers and both had children baptised at the same day at the same church, i thought that too much of a coincidence
Ralph and John's parents
Thomas 1761 -1840 and Ellen Standish
Thomas' parents
Thomas b 1725 and Mary Denford
Thomas' parents
Peter 1688-1748 and Mary Pherhurst (or Fairhurst)
Re John's wife Ellen, she is Ellen Owen, parents Ralph and Martha nee Litherland
