Piers Watson   writes:  I have been doing some genealogical research on the inter related families  of Silcock (of Thornton and Bleasdale), Poole (of Poulton) and Butler(originally of Out Rawcliffe). I was wondering if your society has/knows anything interesting relating to the genealogy of these families or if anyone else has done research  here.  My interest comes from my grandmother who was a daughter of Thomas Butler  Silcock, who built a house called Arthfield at Thornton  and owned Bleasdale Tower.  He married a Poole.
