I am researching:

The SOUTHWORTH family from the Mawdesley area of Preston;
The YOUNG's of Foolow and Chapel-en Le-Frith;
The REED's of Ribchester;
The LOWE family of Unthank Hall, Holmesfield, Sheffield and
The MARKS family of Yorkshire who originated in Middlesex (They mainly have Maxwell as a second name although noone seems to know why).
It would be good to meet anyone who is researching the same surnames.
