I have a sketchy ancestry of Luke Fildes. A distant cousin sent it to me.
She says it was done by a genealogist.

I have attempted to double check many of the relationships, some I can
verify and some I cannot.

I thought I would put the whole line on the list. If anybody recognizes
any part of this ancestry, I would appreciate hearing from you to exchange
information. I sent for the Lancashire Bishop's transcripts to verify
Sharlock Fildes children. Sharlock was born in 8 Sept 1771 in Pendlebury,
Lancashire, England.

My interest in the ancestry is that my ggggrandfather is second cousin to
Sir Samuel Luke Fildes' father.

Maybe we can connect some distant Fildes cousins!!!!!
