Thankyou JeannieR.  I am really getting a picture of the Weigh family now and where my grandfather was born.  It does look as though Edward, his father and probably other family members worked on Paradise Farm and they lived in the farm house or perhaps a cottage on Wood  Lane belonging to the farm.  They were such a large family, I doubt they would have had room for my great grandmother if she had not been related.

Best wishes

Hi Ivor
 I was very pleased to see your posting.  I feel sure that Sarah Phythian must have gone to stay with relatives to have her illegitimate baby because her mother Sarah Phythian nee Yates was ill at the time and died soon afterwards.  Sarah and the baby were accepted by the family.  I haven't yet been able to find the connection between Jane Yates and Sarah Yates, and therefore proof that they were related.  I know that they both came from Liverpool.  The marriage cert of Jane and Edward in 1851 gives their ages as "full".  I have a baptism for a Jane Yates in 1826 in Childwall, the place where my Sarah Yates married James Phythian.  I think Jane died 1880.  According to the details given by JeannieR, I see that Thomas was your ancestor.   Do you know if Edward took on the farm and where his siblings lived?  Do you know anything at all about the Yates family? Do you know if our Jane was born 1826?   I should be glad of any information at all.

Thanks again.

Hi Brephy
              Firstly I have not really done any research on Jane Yates, other than, she was born in Woolton, Liverpool in 1826, I think her Father  was called Joseph, Jane did die in 1880 at Paradise Farm, Edward took the farm over from his father Robert, I have vast amount of Weigh's in my tree, if you wish I can invite to be a member, My Tree is on Myheritage and I would need your email address to do this, in the mean time I will try searching for the Yates family.

Best Regards Ivor

eddie and emily weigh were the last owners of Paradise farm, they sold the land off to Redrow in the 80's, and lived in the middle of the 3 bungalows in paradise place, they have both and there were no sons or daughters.
