Yes it is a good idea. My families are Chapman descended from James William
born circa 1850 in Kent but living most of his life in Birkenhead and
Bootle; married to Margaret with children Amelia, Agnes, Beatrice, Matthew
and Walter (my grandfather)

Wetherhead -my grandmother's maiden name she was Jane Wetherhead born
03/08/1891 but I can find no record of her birth or census return. I think I
have found her father Richard and his Parents Thomas and Jane living in the
Kirkdale/Scotland Rd area between 1861 and 1891 but cannot establish a
definite link

Wright - my grandfather was Joseph Wright and I have traced his parents John
and Ellen (nee Larkin) in the Waterloo area in 1891 and 1901 but I cannot
definitely trace them back further than that except that his father was
called Thomas and was born in Dublin.

Seddon, my maternal grandmother's name. She was Rachel daughter of James and
Margaret born in 1899. I have been unable to trace either James or Margaret
(nee Hind) in the records but they lived in the Waterloo area, James dying
in 1954 and Margaret in 1965.

Any information gratefully received.
