"Flookersbrooks" is my favourite word of the day.

Yes, and it's a real place! I googled - it probably shouldn't really have the S on the end.

If its any help Gorse Stacks, Flookersbrook & Brook St are all within a few hundred yards
of each other.

You're right Merry - no S! Doesn't seem that odd to me but suppose I'm just used it. Very pleasing to say, though.
My vets was there, plus my cat Charlotte came from a family a few doors down from the surgery in the 70s.

There is a James Randles baptised 19 Feb 1786 Marbury (near Crewe), Cheshire, son of George and Christian, on FMP, which fits with the tree I saw on Ancestry.

And this is getting very tenuous, but there is a George Randles baptised 23 Jul 1749 Chester, son of Samuel (a sawyer) and Martha, of Handbridge. And a Samuel baptised 26 Dec 1719 at Chester, son of Samuel.

There was a very well known Randles family of fishermen in Handbridge but my Mum always said that was a different family. They were based around Greenway St leading down to the river Dee.
