I'm probably becoming boring with this, but it's got me hooked.
What started out as OH's tree went on to become a sort of one name study (with three names) LOL and now is becoming a parish study.
Here's my dilemma: Keep in mind this is Lancashire so a bit different.LOL.
I have traced the Sawrey and Kirkby family name back to the 1200s. Of course they were Catholics back then. Now, I know by the 1600s and 1700s the Sawrey family were mostly C of E,with a few Quakers, however have always kept the name Myles (a more Catholic name) for a son.
I know from wills the Kirkby family tended more to Catholicism, having a few priests in their lot.
The two families intermarried off and on for generations. I have a Catholic Kirkby girl marrying a C of E Sawrey fellow who was on the church board, etc.
I have wills right up to 1848 where money (big lots) were given to old sorts, Baptists, Catholics and Moravians.
Does anyone know where I might find a history of the churches in Lancashire. I can find seperate histories but nothing to tie them together.
Or can anyone come up with another idea??
