BIRKENHEAD - SURNAME
I am trying to trace my ancestors who came down to the Midlands from Cheshire in about 1796 to find work. They were George BIRKENHEAD and another who also came presumably at the same time, ( I do not know if they were brothers, cousins or no relation at all, was Richard BIRKENHEAD.)
GEORGE was born about 1773 and Richard about 1777. I believe they could have worked their passage to the Midlands via the canals.
GEORGE was a stone mason, and Richard was a builder.
Does anyone connected with the BIRKENHEAD name know of any relations or family who came down to the Midlands looking for work, or is there anyone who has BIRKENHEAD relations or ancestors in the Midlands.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Ann Ashwood. Nee BIRKENHEAD.
