Hi all
I'm an Aussie tracing my family roots in Yorkshire, Lancaster and London. The family name is Pickhills, of which I am the final living member. I have a pretty comprehensive lineage from my GG Grandparents down to myself. Past there, it is currently a bit vague, though I do have a list of loose threads that I need to try to tie in to the tree, going back to 1699 My gG grandparents are Rickinson Pickhills, born abt 1815, and died around 1842, and Elizabeth Appleyard born abt 1822 in Clayton, and died in 1906 at Tooting Bec Asylum of 'senile decay'. They had 11 children, of which 4 died in infancy, one who was in the navy and died in Bengal, three moved out here and got married, one visited here and was killed in an accident, and two daughters who married in England - Priscilla married a William Wallace Pratt in Liverpool, and Catherine married a Yurgen Knoop, at West Derby in Lancashire. I have a huge amount of info on the family in Australia, though would appreciate any help I can get on the loose threads of the family. With the huge amount of info available in England, it can get very confusing. I will post the names I am trying to get info on in the next day or so. The name itself is very much unique, which has made most searching fairly easy, as to date, all Pickhills are related. The name can be found missing the 's' on occasion, and there is the occasional blip where the name 'Pickles' has been used, as in the 1841 census of England. I also have details posted on the British Surnames site (they didn't have our family name listed), and I'm hoping that by using several forums, sooner or later I may fluke some info. Thanks for any help, and it's great to be here.
