Sequitur ab Origine

Objective of THE DICKSONS NETWORK The objective of the network is very simple. To provide an on-line resource for anyone researching family history or 18th, 19th & 20th century histories of  communities within the British Isles. Crest: British Lions around the shields of England, Scotland & Ireland, surmounted by the Stallion of Freedom. Motto: It follows from the beginning.

The network does this in the following way

• Providing hyperlinks to useful genealogy and history webs
• Providing hyperlinks to Government web sites
• Providing hyperlinks to University web sites
• Authoring a web-site focused on 19th century community history of the Cheshire Village of Kelsall as an example of what type of material can be made available for other researchers.
• Authoring a family history web-site as an example of interweaving family history with external environment history.
• Authoring tutorials for practical hands on internet family history activity.                                           (Return to Top)

THE DICKSON ORG

This is the most advanced of the domains and publishes academic analysis of the 19th century community, or Township, of Kelsall. Located approximately eight miles east of the ancient city of Chester in the county of Cheshire, England.

Kelsall's population between 1841 and 1891 remained in the 600 - 680 persons level, and this part of THE DICKSON NETWORK provides the names, ages, family relationships and professions of all the inhabitants for each of the six censuses 1841 - 1891.

A project to determine the migration of persons born in Kelsall is also underway and will be published in due course.

An occasional series of publications, including analysis and names, so far published on this domain includes.

• Kelsall Tithe Allocations 1832
• Kelsall National School 1873

Also on this domain is the primary location for the descendents and associated family/genealogy of the union between William Dickson & Jane Hill (1840) Limerick, Ireland. The family genealogies include HASP(E)Y, HOLDING, BROOK(E)S, QUAYLE & WYLDE and research is still progressing on MURDON, FITZGERALD, TURNER, HILL, DALY, COSTELLO & DAVIES.  Within the Dickson genealogy are interwoven descriptions of 19th Century Limerick, Glasgow & Liverpool. The site also includes a précis of the 19th century activities of the PRINCE OF WALES LEINSTER REGIMENT                                                 (Return to Top)
