Hi All, Anyone familiar with Quaker records? I have the following, Quaker Burials; Thomas Codgreave of Helsby buried 12 Dec 1658. Elinor Codgreave ( his widow) of Bromnell buried 11 Apr 1671 A quick search of Google failed to shed any info. ''Does anyone know if there was a separate Quaker burial ground in the area or would they have been buried in the Parish Church? I'd appreciate any further info that might help. Bill Cotgreave

Hello Jackie A rather belated thank you for posting the link to the Whaley Bridge photos. I have just spent an enjoyable half hour looking through them. Holly Gaskell and I are gradually adding wills to the Disley website shown below. For Whaley Bridge these now cover 1587 to 1880. best wishes Marjorie Ward Derbyshire, UK Sources for Disley; Lyme Handley; Taxal & Whaley www.disley.net Sources for Hollingworths www.hollingworths.net Sources for NWDby incl Chapel; Charlesworth; Chinley; Fernilee; Glossop; Hayfield; Hope Valley; Mellor & New Mills http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dusk John Ward Paintings: www.johnward-art.com

In the search to find the correct Robert Evans that died in Chester pre 1841, I have the wrong one. I have a death cert for ROBERT EVANS, clerk, died at Crane Street, Cathedral Division, Chester on 19th Jan 1839 aged 55. Cannot read the informant but it looks like Maria Evans. Any takers?? Juliet

Hello, I was in the Sutton Girl Guides from about 1947 to 1951.  I vaguely remember that our Guide Leader was a Mrs Lawton who lived in Sutton and had a son called Anthony.  I am hoping that someone can remember more details about Mrs Lawton.     Thanks,  Cynthia

The only John Tomlinson who died in Cheshire who appears to fit is a John Tomlinson whose death was recorded at Crewe in the July-Sep quarter of 1961, aged 71. It looks from FreeBMD as if they had two children: Leslie Tomlinson, born at Northwich in the June quarter of 1913, and Reggie Tomlinson, born also at Northwich in the March quarter of 1920, the mother's maiden name being Oakes in both cases. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Famous family trees blog: http://blog.findmypast.co.uk/tag/roy-stockdill/ "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

- This mail is in HTML. Some elements may be ommited in plain text. - I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about my trip, because it was impromptu. i had to be in Manila, Philippines for a program. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour. i misplaced my wallet and cell phone on my way back to the hotel i lodge in after i went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables i had. Now, my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when i make payment. I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of £2'680, from you. this will enable me sort my hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much, Cherie

Hi Listers It's been a long time since I've posted anything but here goes.. Does anyone have any connections to or know anything about the family of SARAH JANE OAKES, born around 1891 (father, Alfred) who married JOHN TOMLINSON, from Moulton, born 1891 (father Isaac) at OVER ST JOHN'S in November 1912? Any info would be of interest as I am curious as to what happened to John, who was the cousin of my great-grandfather of the same name. Thanks in advance Best wishes Michelle

Hello Marjorie, Many thanks for your reply. The Richard marrying Mary is potentially useful and I will bear that in mind as a possibility. I know my WHITTAKERs came from Gawsworth which seems to have had a lot of that name at the time. I am trying to relate all the Gawsworth WHITTAKERs. Unfortunately they are well into family names so the number of Joshua's, for example, makes life confusing. Richard's parents must have bucked the system as there are not many of them. Thanks again, Christine -----Original Message----- From: Marjorie Ward Sent: Monday, August 19, 2013 9:51 AM To: Christine Benson ; CHESHIRE mailing list Subject: Re: [CHS] Martha WHITTAKER Hello Christine A Richard WHITAKER married Mary SWINDELS of Leek at Gawsworth Parish Church by Licence in 11 Feb 1752 according to the Phillimore Transcript. I have WHIT(T)AKERS in Disley but the furthest I have got back is to Robert who was born c1744 and who died in Disley in 1829. He probably came to Disley from the Torkington area as one of his children is given that address when baptised at Marple church. Incidentally there are a couple of Joshua (& Lydia) baptisms at Poynton. Presumably this is a different one. best wishes Marjorie Ward Derbyshire, UK Sources for Disley; Lyme Handley; Taxal & Whaley www.disley.net Sources for Hollingworths www.hollingworths.net Sources for NWDby incl Chapel; Charlesworth; Chinley; Fernilee; Glossop; Hayfield; Hope Valley; Mellor & New Mills http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dusk John Ward Paintings: www.johnward-art.com

David THankyou ! That is a very detailed explanation. It turns on its head my original thoughts that the children were receiving a poor education......so all the exempted children had actually achieved a satisfactory standard and minimum attendance ! I did see two comments " exempt on account of attendance" and I thought that meant they had not attended enough . I am nearly at the end of my transcribing and hope to pass on disc copes of the data in a form that can be searched,to the school and other interested groups. Thanks to all who responded Gill Sent from my iPad

That is a very helpful answer Joy. I seem to recall reading through the log books and manager's reports for the school and they record the inspectors'reports there. The dates are 1873 to 1906 and the exempt appears for well over half of the children. The school catered for canal boat children and itinerant labourers' families so I guess attendance was not very good! Some children left after a only a few months, very few stayed longer than 4 years on the books. However as the comment comes where for other children the teacher records the child leaving for another town or school,or left to work . I am still wondering a how the exempt statement relates to the other entries.

What were the dates when these comments were appearing?  Between 1863 and 1890 (I think these dates are right - it was a very long time ago I was studying the History of Educaton) there was a "Payment by results" policy for teachers.  There was a final exam conducted by School Inspectors to assess whether the children had achieved the required level of knowledge.  Maybe children who were absent a lot were exempted from the final exam because they recognised that the best teacher in the world can't achieve good results with a child who isn't there.   Joy ________________________________ From: Gill Gladwin <maygladwin@gmail.com> To: Lynda Burke <lynda@chetwood.org> Cc: "CHESHIRE@rootsweb.com" <CHESHIRE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, 19 August 2013, 13:19 Subject: Re: [CHS] Fwd: Education in the 19c Thanks for the reply Linda,but what do you think they are exempt from ?

Hi Gill, Just a guess, but if the children in question were 14, then they were probably exempt from further attendance on the grounds that they had to work full time. Can anyone confirm if my guess is correct? Regards Lesley Baxendale Colwyn Bay On 19/08/2013 13:19, Gill Gladwin wrote: > Thanks for the reply Linda,but what do you think they are exempt from ?
