I am trying to solve the puzzle of whether there is a connection between the Lancaster families of Cliviger, Lancs. and my Grt.x3 grandfather John Lancaster b.1775 Patricroft,m.Rachel Crompton, d.1845. The information that I have been given is that John was brought up at Height Farm, renamed Merril Head - the next door farm being Pearson House.However both of these farms are at Cliviger not Patricroft.According to 1841 census another Lancaster family occupied Pearsons until 1881, John Lancaster b.1781 d.1848 followed by his son John b.1819.To add to the confusion there is yet another Lancaster family living at Bents House, Cliviger covering the same period.
I would dearly love to know whether in fact there is a connection between these families - can anyone help?
