have been researching my own Bickerton family tree for about 10 years
and have traced my line back to my 5 x Great Grandfather Samuel Bickerton
born 1718 and died 1793 in Marchwiel, Denbighshire. He was a farmer
in Bilmarsh, Myddle, Shropshire from at least 1753 until he moved
with his family to Erbistock, Denbighshire in 1773, then later to
Stryt-yr-hwch, Denbighshire. He was also a Presbyterian which has
equally hindered and helped my research. I believe his father was
Thomas Bickerton who, according to the churchwarden accounts of Myddle,
lived in the hamlet of Bilmarsh immediately before Samuel appears
in the accounts. Thomas Bickerton married Sarah Thomas in 1715 in
Oswestry, Shropshire. I also believe Samuel's Grandfather was John
Bickerton who has a small mention in Richard Gough's "The History
Of Myddle". In about 1701 it says John Bickerton, a cheshire
man, was a subtenant of Broomhurst Farm. John Bickerton died in 1729
in Myddle, Shropshire. Please contact me if you have any questions
