Strong in the arm & thick in the head, Where's the Cheshire contingent then ?? Any more for anymore ??

I lived in congleton cheshire and went to school there my dad was born there and my ancestors come from there, unfortuneatly i don't live in england anymore chris

Marly & Steven, I was born in Bromborough in the Wirral. Back then, it was in Cheshire. Does that count? Now I live in upstate New York.

Hello Marly I could put exactly what you put!! lol My hubby is born and bred here but not me. Val

Timperley. Born & raised. Now live in Canada. Relatives still in Cheshire. I am definatly not thick in the head.. Did you know the best archers in the world came from Cheshire, HenryVIII had all his Cheshire archers around him as body guard.

Marly, What a small world. I went to school in Acre Lane ( briefly) and my Grandparents lived in Bridle Rd. What church were you married in? I left Bromborough in 1962 although still have rellies in Eastham.

Dear Evelyn, We suffer the slings and arrows, those of us lucky enough to have been cheshire born, Myself within the City walls, Hmmmn, seem to remember summat about welshmen & crossbows after 9 at night, chuckles.

Yes Marly any excuse to blame the hubbies. lol, after all they usually blame us for everything any way!! I'm a Brummy by birth, but have lived on The Wirral for nearly 50years, apart from a 7yr interlude in Kenya. Val

All my hubby Tony's birth family come from Birkenhead! Does that count?! Tricky blighters to find mind you! Whatever became of the Birkenhead Badley's that's what I'd like to know! It'd make our lives much easier if they came out of the woodwork and showed themselves!! Love Eleanorxx

I'm and Immigrant from devon but have lived in Crewe area for nearly twelve years but it seems a lot longer than that. does this count

Marly, That would be the lovely old St. Barnabas. What memories that brings back. Now I feel quite homesick.Lol.

Steven. We Cheshire people are a wonderful lot. Unfortunatly none of my family have any interest in Geneology. Hense trying to find dead rellies. is almost impossible. My family is bad, my husbands GRESTYS and PEDLERS, I think have all moved to another planet!!!

Hi! Born in Crewe only because my grandparents moved from Shropshire to work on the railways (I think Crewe was put on the map 1840s/1850s.) My brother still lives there, but I moved about quite a bit and have landed back in Cheshire, just south of Stockport. Julie xx

hi jane from macclesfield cheshire now in liverpool but lived there for twenty years what a great place till they knocked the hospital down and built a TESCO!!!!!!!!! yuk.

Response to Steven. I was born in Hale, Cheshire and went to school first to Stamford Park and then Bradbury Secondary. Left in 1949 when I married and went to live in Blackburn. Now live in Stretford, Trafford. Any more from Hale or Alrincham out there? Muriel Harrison (nee Norris)

Any more cheshire cats??

Hi all, though i wasn't born or bred in cheshire my mum was born and bred in Chester,so were my grandparents, so that gives me a good link with cheshire and i luv it there, june

Born in Wallasey, live in Prenton, well it IS a Cheshire postcode!! Wend

hi, i myself was born in cheshire and have lived here all my life, stockport to be exact.I think my kin folk are all true cheshire homebirds because not one person has left the county to live elsewhere, though to be honest its only circumstances that have kept me here, in another three or four years i will be doing the unthinkable and moving away.

Here's another Cheshire cat - and still grinning. Lovely to read all your messages. I too was born in Bromborough and raised in Bebington.Went to the fab.Wirral Grammar. Also have a branch of the family round the Nantwich area. Husband Robert was born in Birkenhead and raised in Willaston and went to King'sSchool Chester. Re the Wirral archers - I believe they were also an asset at Agincourt under Henry V.
