Brian Report 27 Aug 2009 21:31

hi all. i am trying to find out about the early childhood years of a
person called william winskill,born 1909 kirkby thore cumbria.
his mum was annie winskill who married a man called arthur
davies in 1927 nantwich and the lived at 42 marsh lane untill 1960-68. annie's son william came to live in liverpool in the 1920's with his grandmother mary telford, also from kirkby thore.
there was talk that william spent his early childhood in salford
but i have no proof. if this is true then there must be names and
addresses where william lived in salford.

There is a William Winskill born 1909 living in East Ward, Westmorland on the 1911 census that could possibly be him.

Pm from Brian...

From Brian. hi vivienne. mary telford [nee winskill] was william's maternal grandmother, she is listed on the 1881
kirkby thore census as the daughter of thomas and barbara
winskill,horse and jockey public house [born 1866]. annie is
listed on the 1891 census as barbara's grandaughter aged 05.
this proves that mary and annie are grandmother and grandaughter. also horse and jockey pub.
i also have a copy of williams birth cert,stating that annie winskill
is the mother of william born 1909 kirkby thore. there is no record
of a father's name
