I am sorry to say I found out about this too late and missed this meeting. :(
I have both Marsh & Whitfield in my family tree - I can trace back from present day to 1880s.
Max, you maybe interested to see your name too.
looks like we belong to some very old Liverpool families :PDT_Piratz_26:

Max will tell you more about that. I think he did say something about the French origins of that name.
I think Molyneuxs had a connection with either Speke hall or Croxteth hall.
Apparently, The Molyneuxs were in the Liverpool castle and they had built a bridge (which would have been located somewhere by the Church st area).
The Whitfields & Marsh families had some problem with this and tore it down.
.. and something about they got back the 'council tax' money of the day for the people.
I was listening to Jean Grant this morning on Radio Merseyside, she was telling the story.
You may be able to hear it on 'Listen again' - - it was 7:20am, Tony Snell show.

Thanks Steven, I will have a look. :)
I don't really know anything about my family history. My name was from my Dads, dad side of the family Is all I know really but never met my granddad.
I couldn't trace family history even If I wanted to. Not seen any cousins or relatives on my dads side for years and wouldn't want to.
