Thomas Briscoe died 1 December 1828, age 63, buried at Tattenhall, Cheshire. That would make him born circa 1765. He was a Gentleman and lived at Clayley, Handley, Cheshire.

Thomas married Elizabeth Hockenhull at Bebington, Cheshire in 1793 and they had 6 children that I know of.

What I can't find is his baptism or any mention of his parents. Thomas is my great(x4) grandfather and I really hope that someone can help me find my great(x5) grandfather.

Thank you

Some of them are Margee, others were born to his son Thomas who also married an Elizabeth.

Thanks for looking.
