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.

I suspect that I'm being thick but I can't find out how to post a message on the Birkenhead board. I can access the 'Birkenhead-L' site for reading only. A locality search ends with Cheshire. A search for 'Birkenhead' just brings up surnames. I have a password.

I'm trying to find my ancestors named Birkenhead. My father was born in Nova Scotia on December 1919. I was told that his parents came from England. My fathers name is William James. My fathers parents names are William James, and Sadie (Boutlier) Birkenhead, they came to the US when my father was around 2 years old. He had siblings Charles, Harold,Dorthea, and a twin that died at birth named Clarence. Any help would be much appreciated.
