Welcome to a very ambitious project of ours. - The MYERSCOUGH PROJECT

We are Sheila Gibbons and Steve Williams. 

Although Sheila's name is Sheila Gibbons, in Family History she uses her maiden name, so you will find her as Sheila McDermott!!,  Steve is simpler, once a Williams always a Williams!! 

Sheila's connection to the Myerscough family is through her Great Grandmother Mary Ann Myerscough. 

Whilst researching Sheila's Myerscough line we were privileged to meet Agnes Myerscough of Longton who has spent twenty years researching the Myerscough families and has documented over 6000 Myerscough's and their associated families. 

At the beginning of 2007 Agnes asked us to become custodian of her data on the understanding that it is made available to Family Historians researching their own Myerscough's. 

To continue her work, we have designed this website as the focus of our Myerscough Project. We have taken Agnes's database as the basis and built an index so that researchers can identify whether or not we may have more information about their ancestor within the database. We have then continued and extended Agnes's work by researching, identifying and making available Myerscough data, sources and references on the website.

The aims of the Myerscough Project are to provide:

   1.) A homebase for the Myerscough Project -  
   2) A repository for the index to Agnes Myerscough's database
   2.) A central location for Myerscough related source documentation - 
   3.) A way of sharing information. 

This is a contribution style website. In other words, the success of the website depends on contributions from other Myerscough researchers, both in the form of participation in the project with source documentation and family line information. 

We truly hope that this site helps fellow Myerscough genealogists everywhere. This is our way of thanking all of those who have helped us along in our Family History research 

And, of course, we are always open to ideas, suggestions and comments. Please feel free to let us know your thoughts.

Enjoy the site!!
