Dear Ann (and Alex)
We are new to this site and found it when looking around for a copy of 'John Thompstone a Gawsworth Miller 1742-1808'. Peter(my husband) is researching his family tree and found he is a direct descendant of (Honest)John Thompstone 1742-1808, through John's son, Abraham, And Abraham's daughter Mary Ann. Honest John is his great grandfather's great grandfather. We live in South Manchester and over the years have been fairly heavily involved in the life of the City, and know there have been generations of Hiltons (Hilton is Peter's surname) but he only found out about the Thompstone connection last month. We have been to Gawsworth church and found John's grave, which also contains a much more recent member of the Thompstone family, and is obviously visited regularly by the widow and children of this man.
If you see this message Ann, Peter would be very keen to acquire a copy of your book. So, can you let us know if this is possible? Maybe Macclesfield library still also has a copy and I shall be making enquiries there.
Best wishes
Sue and Peter Hilton
