Drinkwater Pedigree The information in this pedigree comes from a number of sources, including Burke's Landed Gentry, a printed pedigree supplied by Thomas L Syers of Victoria, Australia, and some manuscript notes in Armitstead Family History archive. There is some doubt about the descent of George Drinkwater (1713-1795), and at least two versions exist. The one reproduced below was that favoured by Giles Brocklebank, who studied the matter at some length, but by his own account never resolved it definitively. He certainly would have preferred this version, as it links into a myriad of medieval genealogies via Elizabeth Leigh, including a Royal Descent GEORGE DRINKWATER (1713-1795), of Everton, died 7 March 1795, buried St Nicholas, Liverpool, the grave later being moved to St James Cemetery Elizabeth Drinkwater (1742-1794) = Daniel Backhouse of Liverpool, merchant George Drinkwater (c.1745-1756) born 22 April 1745, died 24 July 1756, buried St James Cemetery, Liverpool John Drinkwater (1747-1829), of Everton, born 24 June 1747, died 4 November 1829, buried St Ann's Churchyard Ellen Drinkwater (1750- ) born 27 August 1750 = William Harper, esq, of Davenham Hall, JP for Lancashire, alderman of the Borough of Liverpool, married 3 December 1772, St Peter's, Liverpool Alice Drinkwater (1752-1825) born 15 October 1752 = Robert Syers (1743-1783) of Liverpool, merchant, married 18 March 1773, St Peter's Liverpool JAMES DRINKWATER (1755-1815), merchant, alderman of Liverpool, born 28 April 1755, died 12 June 1815, buried St Nicholas' churchyard.

It gives his source as "a pedigree of Drinkwater of Salford, furnished to Mr Burke for the 3rd vol. of his Commoners by a younger son of Col Drinkwater Bethune, who, I find, died a year or two ago. It is carelessly drawn up…". Additional details have been added from Giles Brocklebank's notes: PETER DRINKWATER ( -1591)PETER DRINKWATER (1648-1693) of Massey Green, Co. Cheshire NATHANIEL DRINKWATER of Latchford, Co. Chester. Said to have married several times and lived to a great age.
