Genealogy has become very popular in recent years.   There are several families living in Poulton  who are able to trace their roots back through many generations.     Many records for Poulton are to be found in the Lancashire Record Office in  Preston. 
If you are starting to trace your family history it is useful to join a  Family History Society.  Family Tree Magazine has a useful website.
If you are researching families in POULTON, THORNTON, FLEETWOOD, BLACKPOOL and the surrounding area you might like to email brief details of the name/s to add to the list below: please email

Hi

I would like to add the name Swarbrick please  to this site, I have gone back as far as 1712 to George Swarbrick born in Lytham and have quite a few Swarbricks from surrounding areas of Blackpool, Poulton le Fylde, Kirkham, Weeton, Trayles, Westby and a few others.

Thank You

My name is Norman Shelley and I am hoping to trace a long lost cousin who settled in your charming town after her wedding  in - I think 1971/72.  Her  name before her marriage was Veronica Roberta Hewit, unfortunately I do not know her married name.
 
She is one of   the three children of Austin and Johanna Hewitt of Blackpool, the other two being Robert and Della.. Our Family became somewhat fragmented for whatever  reasons in times past. It would be nice to reconnect if only by email.  Hopefully I will make contact, but if anyone reads this posting and remembers Veronica, I would be pleased to hear from them.

Hello, I have been directed to your site by someone who lives in the area, after I asked her about Poulton-le-Fylde.  My family tree contains a number of members who were born in Poulton-le-Fylde (or 'Patton Thylde' as one of them wrote it).   I wonder if there are any Salthouses still in the area, as my father's family grow ever larger going back in time!
 
Thank you   Helen Salthouse

Hello,

I have just been looking on the Poulton Le Fylde Historic and Civic Society and wondered if you or possibly one of your Members could please help me?

I am researching the Collinson family, andĀ have managed to get back as far as Christopher Collinson marrying Alice Hull in 1716 in Poulton Le Fylde.  Christopher and Alice are my 6 x great grandparents.

My initial link to the Collinsons in Poulton Le Fylde is John Collinson, who was born there in 1776.  He moved to Heaton, near Lancaster, and married Betty Sowerbutts at the Parish Church thereĀ in 1799. As far as I can trace back, John was the youngest of five children, his siblings being Christopher, Grace,  another John (who I guess died?) and Betty. John's parents were Robert Collinson and Ann Singleton and Robert's father was Christopher, born probably around 1700.
Any information anybody could give me would be much appreciated
.
