North Meols is a district to the north of present day Southport, a popular
seaside resort previously in Lancashire but now in Merseyside, UK.
Before the mid 1850s the main occupations in North Meols were fishing and
farming and the most common surnames were Wright, Rimmer, Johnson, Ball,
Blundell and Howard. Because the Wright name is so common it can be very
difficult to trace one's ancestors earlier than 1800.
One of the purposes of this web page is to invite any Wrights from North Meols to
contact me and place their own family history on this site so that linkages may
be established between families locally, nationwide and perhaps worldwide.
Any family trees sent to me should follow the format of mine on the
following
page. Files can be sent to me
via e-mail. Please include your e-mail address so that interested people
can contact you direct.
I am a member of the North Meols Family History Society which meets on the third
Thursday of each month at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints which
is at the corner of Preston New Road and North Road, Churchtown. The secretary is
Jane Scarisbrick (e-mail address)
and more information can be found on the web site: North
