WARBURTON family in APPLETON (circa 1830)

[The Engineer]

Hi all,
I have a brick-wall growing seemingly higher by the day.  I have a 3rd great-grandfather born in 1826 in Appleton, Cheshire  (though the 1851 census says Stockton Heath....).  His father is known to be James WARBURTON, a Brewer, according to his marriage cert in 1851 (Thomas WARBURTON to Mary FORSYTH in 1851 in Kirkdale, Liverpool).

I have not been able to find James WARBURTON anywhere, well I don't have a DOB for him so that's hard!  And Thomas appears to be aged 15 and already working away from home in 1841, a farm servant to Peter LAWTON at Witherning Farm, Appleton.

I'd love to be able to put definite parents and possible siblings for my James WARBURTON (1826) and so get back at least another generation.  Can anyone find this family in any records??  I did find a possible brother in a  John WARBURTON born 1831 Appleton - but no proof to connect them. 

Cheers,
Garry

Hi Garry,

Have you seen this site:

The owner is conducting a one name study for the surname WARBURTON.

Thanks Jean!!
I wasn't aware of a one name study on Warburton so I have just sent an e-mail to them.  Fingers crossed I may find my relatives are already in there!

Cheers,

Hi all,
despite the Warburton one-name study I was not able to link my family to any of the research so far.  Therefore still looking for anything on the ancestry of Thomas WARBURTON, born 1826 in Appleton.  I know his father is James WARBURTON, a Brewer when Thomas married in 1851.
