The date strikes a chord. My Great Grandfather John Bilton left England in 1840 for New Zealand where he was to be the organist at the pilgrim settlement church. He married an Elizabeth Inwood and had 12 children, my Grandfather Herbert being one of them. As an aside every eldest boy since has carried the second name of Inwood!
My father John Bilton was one of two children for Herbert and His wife Jessie Ross. I am the eldest of three children and have two children.My eldest sister Jan is the family historian, so I will draw her attention to this site in the hope she has links that go further back in the families English lineage.
