  • Record Office: George Thompson b1780 Lancashire

    I am looking for details of George Thompson, born 1780 in Eccleston near Prescot in Lancashire. He was a sawmaker employing 4 men, as did his son Peter (1834-1880, lived in Turnpike Lane, Whiston) and grandson Frederick (born 1866 in Whiston, moved to Cronton, used as my avatar). Most of those employed seem to have been relatives, but I cannot find any reference to the business in the trade directories available online.
    I have all the census details, but anything before 1841 would also be useful. George's wife was Mary, probably Fyldes, born 1793 and married in 1826 in Farnworth. I suspect they do not appear in the parish registers online apart from this marriage because they were catholics. If anyone has access to more Lancashire records I would be very grateful.
