Hi, my great grandparents were James Herbert Dutton and Hannah Bexon.
Grandparents were James Herbert Dutton and Charlotte Dean (Dixie Dean’s sister). -
Very interesting

Hello Roy, I am the great-granddaughter of Edward W Dutton, Thomas’s younger brother, which I think makes us second cousins once removed. It’s lovely to see the pictures of in and around the Wallasey that my dad John would have known well.
If anyone has any information about Edward’s branch of the family, that would be great. Happy to share what I know too. -
It was lovely to see the video of my great auntie peg and uncle joe , it as quite a surprise I didn't realise you called them auntie and uncle, did you know James and Hannah leyland

This Website is amazing! I have recently been researching my Family history and come across some pictures on Google, little did I know these picture were of my relatives!
John Dutton (1841-1910) is my 3rd Great-Grandfather, and the information you have provided has massively helped my family and I to learn more about our past.
Thank you, Roy :) -
Hello. I lived in the ground floor flat at 11 Oakland Vale New Brighton for a few years in the 1950s. I loved looking at these pics. Although I was only small I have vivid and fond memories of the prom, the outdoor and indoor funfairs and the open air pool.

Hello Roy, I have recently found a link to our past. I am the also related to the Piper Dutton line , my grandfather was Albert Piper born in Fleetwood ( not Alfred in your register ) but his past history was the family traced back to the Dutton’s of Wallasey and to the Roberts in Saighton Chester .

This book looks fantastic. My Dad was Chief Cashier at Tate & Lyle for many years. Did you ever hear of him - Douglas Meade? Lived in Wallasey.

Most informative... as a past employee of Bidston Steel I was interested in the photographs of the steel mill and the image of "Shroppie - A Steelman's Tribute to the Highways of the Past" as Cliff Law wrote it about me!

I was there from 1975 to the closure in 1985.

grandchildren, your great- nephews: Shane Ray,

The Ancient Parishes of Cheshire refers to the group of parishes that existed in Cheshire, roughly within the period of 1200–1800.[1] Initially, the ancient parishes had only an ecclesiastical
function, but reforms initiated by King Henry VIII, developed by Queen Elizabeth I and expanded by later legislation led them to acquire various secular functions that eventually led to a split
between the ecclesiastical parishes and the purely civil parishes that exist today. -
Good work, keep going.

It was very nice to visit your site and see the photos , I am from Seacombe, married a boy from Liverpool and emigrated to the USA in 1966 also lived in the Middle East for 10 years but now back in
the USA.Over the years we have travelled back many times as we still have family living in the area I wish many of the beautiful buildings had not been demolished. We were very fortunate last year to
be able to bring our children {USA born} and their families to see where we had both grown up... Best wishes Carol
