I've just joined this list, determined to make some progress in finding more information about the above names. David Kirkpatrick was born 1783 [I know not where] and died 1837 in Caldy Cheshire. He married Mary Sillers or Sellers in 1818, and I have a copy of their Marriage Licence where the name I.M. Kirkpatrick, Accountant is included with David Kirkpatrick's name. His occupation was stated to be Master Mariner, but when he died, a Surgeon. They were married at St. Peter's

These two had four children, William b 1827 John born 1829 Mibella Sillers b 1831 and Elizabeth Johnson b 1833. They were living in Caldy when each were born, but took all four of them across the Mersey to the Bold Street Universalist, a Church.

The Johnson name is that of Mary Sillers' Mother.
I have an interest in Elizabeth Johnson Kirkpatrick who married into a line that married into mine and who had nine children in Herefordshire, none of whom were baptised there.

I am wondering if any one here is searching these names. I am ultimately looking for David Kirkpatrick's parents. If they were Scots, [perhaps the reason for taking the children to a Non Conformist or Presbyterian Church to be baptised] the naming patterns might lead to his father being William.
