My name is Wendy nee Ellam mother of Peter.I was christened at St Oswalds Winwick in 1941.My family are now in Newton-le-Willows some 3 miles from Winwick.My cousin had traced the family back to 1635 when they arrived from Scotland, Berwickshire having gone to Lancashire to escape Stuarts.The Earl of Ellam in the 800's was subordinate to the Earl of Dunbar.The Dunbar and his supporters, the Ellams were killed and had to flee to Lancashire to escape the Stuarts.
