My website has moved and been restructured. The content on this page is now here on my family history website.
Please email me at peter@blundellash.freeserve.co.uk if your relatives bear these surnames and they come from Liverpool or South West Lancashire, as we may be related. I would be happy to share the results of my family history research with you.
My family comes from Liverpool, with all 4 grandparent lines having long associations with Merseyside.
My grandparents were BLUNDELL, MOLYNEUX, ASHCROFT and ROBERTS. In the late 1800s they came from the Everton and Walton districts of Liverpool, so their records are found in the West Derby (8b) registration district. Earlier names in my family tree are ATHERTON, CALDWELL and WEBSTER from Kirkby, Lancashire, MOLYNEUX the millers from Aintree and BANKS from Aintree, Lancashire.
Here is my family history website and this information is also on GenesConnected.
