I have received a plea for help from Joan Warburton of the Liverpool Family, part of the South Cheshire Group. Three members of the Family, Joseph Warburton, his sister Ellen, and his nephew, John Turner Warburton, emigrated to Beaver Crossing, Seward, Nebraska in 1891. It seems John Turner Warburton later lived and worked in Denver, Colorado.

Joan has put together an account of what she has discovered but would like to hear from anyone who has more details of their lives in America….

A recent update of the Garryhinch clan introduced a slightly speculative origin for Richard Warburton of Dublin. There is good evidence that Richard was the same Richard, son of George, who became an apprentice to Thomas Ince, Haberdasher, in 1611.
