| 11/27/04 | Hi, My uncle John has just died and in his things were the mention of Lizzie Lloyd and bairns. They are connected to either Buxton,Maclesfield or Silverdale, and to the Wills or Cope family. I feel the Wills, as he took them to see my dad George Wills, at Garstang. Lizzie I am sure is quite old but if you know anyone of that name would you please get in touch. I am doing a Wills family tree. Thankyou. She may have had a sister called Audrey and they were cousin's to George and John(\jackas he was called) Sandra willskay2000@yahoo.co.uk |

| 07/12/04 | My last name is Buxton, but my grandfather who is the
source of the Buxton name is long deceased, and we are unable to find
any other relatives of his. His name was Herbert. I am only 1/4 English, but I have researched my last name in some texts about English nobility, and found that Buxton has a very extensive list of noble families. The Buxton geneology is very murky, as my family is not sure when the Buxtons came to America, and the only one to have any prestige (My grandfather was a GM factory technician) is an extremely distant relative who founded the Buxton Wallet company (Probably have some very rich 8th cousins). No effort has been made to trace my geneaology, and I was wondering if the town had any rescources that could be accessed without travelling there. forknork@yahoo.com |
