* Aikebergh, now called Aigburth, is a hamlet in the township of Garston. The pedigree of the local family may be deduced for a few generations from the following charters.
Adam, lord of Gerstan, had three sons,
Adam.
John.
William, parson of Bacford, in the county of Chester. Adam, apparently, married Margareta, for in the Testa de Neville there is the
following entry: Margareta que fuit uxor Ade de Gerstan fuit de donatione
domini Regis, et maritata Rie' Litherpol, et terra sua valet di' marc'. He
was succeeded by his son, Adam, dominus de Gerstan, who married Hawisia, a widow, a.D. 1272, and left a
son,
Adam, dominus de Gerstan.
In the feodary of Lancashire, A.D. 1313, it was found, — Robertos de Blakeburne et Elena uxor ejus, ut in jure ipsius Elene, tenent maner' de Gerstan cum perti nentes, in quo manerio sunt tres carnéate terre per servitium viginti solidorum per annum.
