Hi,
Sorry this is 5 years late!
My branch followed on from Colton, Halton, Lancaster, Nibthwaite, backbarrow, Ulverston, to Liverpool and then Manchester.
My line follows on from William m1842, John/Sarah Burke, John's son George b1872 was my grandfather he m Annie Bryce.
The family are still around Manchester but I am in NZ.
I visited the forge in Nibthwaite many years ago.
I am trying to find out where the famil came from when they appeared in Colton Lancs in 1717. Some of the gravestones in Colton are Bivens.
E-mail me and we can work together.
