2779

Hello all
This is my first post here and I have lit on the Twizell interest. My gtx3 grandfather Robert Daglish was married to Margaret Twizell [spelling varies] at Earsdon on 21 April 1802. From census returns, she was born c1779. He was born on 21 Dec 1777, both giving Earsdon or Hartley as birthplace.
I have been hunting Robert's parents or baptism for many years, and he had a brother John b. 1770 and sister Ann, b1774. All came to the Wigan, Lancashire area before 1802 and the brothers were engineers etc - I have lots of info on their Lancs days.
Back to Margaret: I believe she was a daughter of George Twizell who married Margaret Stuart in1775. George probably son of James T & Alice Learmouth.
Any links or corrections would be most welcome.
