I was adopted and recently found my grand father, which was an emotional day. He gave me details of six other relatives who I never knew I had. People don't always want to be found, so please tred carefully out there smile

There are a number of Sherlocks living in Upton listed in directories etc between 1841 and 1938 (link), there are also 10 baptisms listed between 1762 ans 1779 (mostly with the same parents).

There is also an Amos Midgely living in Upton listed in the 1881 census.

Me too! We are mentioned in Omerod's Visitation and my direct paternal line can be traced back to 1000s. Father's side were 'upstairs' mother's side were 'downstairs'. laugh I am a complete anorak as far as the family tree is concerned and have found many distant cousins around the globe to share research with.

I love the Ancestry site. As another poster said, you really should give the 2 week free trial a go; highly addictive.

What are you looking into at the moment? Jess


My husband has Sherlocks in his tree and his 2 x gt. grandmother, Elizabeth Sherlock, is mentioned in Bill Houldin's book Up Our Lobby as the midwife Granny Sherlock, we believe.

Crumbs, I didn't realise you could only have 5 messages and I didn't know 3 of those were there anyway! Would you try again please? I'm just dashing out to work and probably won't get back online before lunchtime tomorrow.
