Olliebeak Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 ..James Wood age 68 Police pensioner born Rincardineshire? Kineff?... This is probably Kineff, Kincardineshire. Tarbick is possibly Tarbock (close to Rainhill/Huyton/Netherley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy_A Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There is a branch of my family that is Twist. The family last lived in Dentons Green and was as follows; George Twist married to Margarita Fairhurst 2 children Richard and Margarita. Richard had a son also named Richard and Rita had a daughter but I don't know her name. Margerita, snr, died 1998. She was born in 1931 so assume George was about the same age give or take. As far as I know the children still live in Dentons Green, I checked about 5 years ago and Rita was still at the same house with her dad, Wrysedale Avenue I think. I always remember Richard snr lived a few doors down so I doubt very much they have moved.Hope it's not too confusing for you. I'll look through my genealogy stuff over the weekend and see if I can find anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
