From a baptism entry in 1815 at Holy Cross, Church, Woodchurch, I have the following: "Richard son of Richard Sherlock late of high ........ in the parish of Woodchurch deceased, by Hannah his wife, born ..5 March bap.Oct 15th" Anyone know what comes after high, to me it looks like the same H as in Hannah, but I'm struggling to find this place in the parish of Woodchurch?
I thought that, but & I don't know how big you can see the scan but the H in Hannah is the same as in the 1st letter of the name? Was there a High Warren in Woodchurch (I know Warren Nurseries)
Warren nurseries used to be council run this was situated at Thingwall corner leading onto ARROWE PARK .There is a Highgreen rd on The Woodchurch off Houghton rd
I have been going through the Cheshire Tithe maps for the surrounding area, but no luck. I might go through the register a bit to see if I can find a more clear example of it. Will let you know.
In the early 18th century the village of Arrowe along with its neighbours Prenton, Pensby, Oxton, Noctorum, Barnston and Thingwall all fell under the Parish of Woodchurch. None of the surrounding villages had a church at this time which meant that all of these local communities had to use the facilities at Woodchurch.
The fist map shows Limbo Lane where another branch of the Sherlock family once lived, if you take the footpath down it you can still make out the entrance to their smallholding.
