Lea's of Cheshire - Saighton
I'm looking in particular for info about my GGgrandfather Thomas Lea who in the 1861 census was resident at Huyton Lancs., but was born in Saighton Cheshire in 1822. I think he married a Mary Ann Pugh (b1822 Shrewsbury)in 1846. In Saighton I think he may have been a farmer and small salt mine owner (which were very common in the area in those days) and moved to Huyton were he was a farmer & small colliery owner. This move from salt to coal was probably due to Cheshire salt becoming unprofitable at the time due to overproduction from to many salt mines. One of his sons Alderman John Lea (my Ggrand uncle) became Lord Mayor of Liverpool 1904/5 and was married to Isabella Mclaren Evans. The Evans family were very large salt mine owners in Cheshire who also moved into Lancashire coal. So any info. on Cheshire Evans's and Shropshire Pughs would be interesting.
