Ordidge Sheppard silk gown from 18th Century - Barrow-In-Furness
I have in my possession an eighteenth century gown from the 1760s-1770s, the quality of which suggests the owner would have been a person of financial means. A note sewn to it reads that it was owned by a Miss Ordidge who married and became Mrs Sheppard. The gown was then given several generations later to the two children of D & E Birkett (or Biskett, not sure of spelling). Can anyone be of help in finding more information about the origins of this gown and its owners? thank you.

The Biggs Family - Barrow-In-Furness
I am researching the Biggs family particularly Walter Curtis Biggs (born Walter Rufus Biggs, he changed his middle name for some reason!). He married Alice Maria Timmins and they had a son, Harry Frederick Ivor. If these names mean anything to anyone, please get in touch. Harry Frederick Ivor was born in Wales (Merthyr Tidfil) but the family were from Barrow in Furness originally and I think before that, they may have been connected to the Tipton and Dudley areas but this is only an educated guess.

Searching Family Douglas/Stevenson - Barrow-In-Furness
I am searching for any family members in the Douglas or Stevenson family. Annie Douglas married William Stevenson sometime in the 1890's I think. They had a son Robert Douglas Stevenson who was born on 19.06.1919 and he died in January 1955. He may have had a sister, Ethel, but I'm not too sure. They lived at 11 St Patrick's Road when Robert was born. Robert was a merchant seaman and married a Mary Agnes Tyson in 1945 and lived in Warton, Carnforth, Lancashire. Unfortunately, Robert committed suicide and we know very little about him and absolutely nothing about his family. Any assitance would be really appreciated as my Mother would welcome the information - she was only 2 when he died.
