Chris :)

Thanks Reggie for the tip about phonetic search for the surname, also for pointing out the possible death of the firstborn John Bickle sorton.

Thanks AnnCardiff for info, not sure about susanah yet, but there seem to be so many variations on the surname that I think she may well be a relative.The others are definitely of interest.

the ones I posted are of no interest then?

thank you for that Kath. Looks like I should be using a different spelling of the surname too, I forgot that spellings often differ.

I cannot find a birth for john biccles sorton. I have found his marriage to mary ann rendle in1889his death in 1944 but no birth, what am I doing wrong? The name biccles seems very strange to me and there are several different spellings, bickle, beckle beckel. It is a name I have never come across before. Any help appreciated, Maggie
