I was born in Warrington in the late 1940s and lived there until the early 1970s.  I have been researching my FEARNLEY family tree since 2007.  My elder brother Edward (Eddie) has been researching the period 1837-1940 in Warrington, using mainly bmd and census records and has extensive, detailed information for this period.  Using parish records we have together extended the period covered back to 1675 in Winwick.  My particular interest is in researching the Fearnley family before that period, in Cheshire.
