Lancashire / Re: Silcock Family from Flyde

In Thornton there is a 'Silcocks' Corner' - a right-angled bend in the road. The family probably lived and farmed there. Not too far from Skippool Creek. There were Butler's in Staining up to quite recent years. Two still live fairly local. They are all descended from the Botelers , a family who came over with William the Conqueror and were a land-owning family in the Fylde ( not Flyde) for centuries.
