Hello I am researching the surname Cotton in the Hanley SOT area. The only information I have is as follows, William Cotton Born 1843 Probably in Hanley .In the 1881 cencus he was living in the Shelton district of Hanley with his wife Anne Maria Cotton (nee Roberts) born 1856 in Hanley . Samuel Cotton age 3 yrs and Margaret J Cotton age 13 yrs I should think that this is William Cottons 2nd marriage as Anne Maria would have been too young to have been Margarets Mother. I have not had much luck yet tracing Williams origins, in fact you are the only one who so far seems to be looking for Cottons in the potteries, I would be most interested to hear from you although I doubt that my ancestors would have owned a pottery, as he was entered as a labourer in 1881. Perhaps we can make a link somewhere Regards Frances ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 21, 2003 4:00 AM Subject: ENG-STS-THE-POTTERIES-D Digest V03 #83

Am seeking to connect with any one researching the Cotton surname for Stoke, England. It is associated with the Elijah Cotton Pottery located in Stoke. The names in which I am interested is Teddy(Theodore)Cotton, and Arthur Cotton. Both were sons of Elijah and Martha Wharton Cotton. Elijah was owner of the Lord Nelson Pottery that closed in the mid 1960's. I have no further information on these two. I do know that they maintained contact with my Grandmother, Susan Wharton Ward who was a cousin. Kind regards, Susan

Last night I found the marriages of two of my gr-grandfather's sisters, subject to confirmation by certificate. Joy in Australia found the marriage of their brother EDWARD HUGHES to an EMILY HARVEY, in 1902, although his age is wrong by about six years and needs investigating further. He was defiantly born in 1867 and not 1836 as the marriage details suggest. What I'm after now are possible sightings of the sisters in the 1881 and 1891 census for the Shelton area. The parents were ROBERT HUGHES and MARGARET nee TAYLOR both born in BAGILLT, NORTH WALES and resident in 45 Denbigh St, Hanley in the 1881 census. The eldest daughter JANE born 1852 in Bagillt, married FREDERICK MOSTON in the first quarter of 1874 and their son Robert Hughes Moston died in Denbigh Street in 1879, so it's possible they were living in Denbigh Street in the 1881 census. For the second daughter SARAH, born 1856 in Bagillt, and living with her parents in 1881,1 there are three possible marriages. To JAMES GOODWIN or JOHN LOWNDES in 1881, or HARRY PLANT in 1890. I think Edward's wife died on 6/12/1940 as there is an entry in my G-grandfather's birthday book for that date which just says Emma Hughes, but still checking on this.

My great grandfather, Edwin CLARKE, was born in Longport, Staffs about 1837. He became a Primitive Methodist minister and hence moved a lot, but I have no idea if he was born a Methodist. I have not been able to trace either his birth or his marriage. His wife was Letitia ???, born about 1839 in Ashford Hill, Hants. Their first daughter, Letitia H. Clarke born in Poplar Middlesex about 1868. I would appreciate suggestions of how to proceed. Thanks Les Blues West Vancouver, BC Canada.

Looking for family information on Ruth LAMB, b.May 6 1853 in Kingswinford or Brierley Hill, Staffs. Our earliest sighting is from the 1881 Census: Ruth M LAMB age 28, dressmaker in Shrewsbury St Chad, Shrops. She emigrated to Victoria BC Canada about 1896, crossing from Liverpool on the ss Scotsman. We have her travel box marked with the name of the ship. In the 1901 Census of Victoria she owns a house and is living on her own means. Her wedding record (m.Frank Colley, Nov.1901) gives her parents as James & Mary Lamb. The death record (1939) shows James Lamb and Emily Barnes as parents. Thank you - this is a most interesting list to follow. Elaine Polglase

Hello. Does anyone have access to the Abbots Bromley Parish Registers? I'm trying to find out if the Richard BENNETT who married Catherine MATTHEWS at Abbots Bromley on 29th September 1783 can have come from Burslem. Is there any indication on the Register of what his geographical origin may have been, particularly if it wasn't the same parish? If he 'did' come from Burslem, then he is probably the same Richard BENNETT who later became my ggggtgrandfather. If the register doesn't say, then how can I prove whether the same man and his wife Catherine had three children (1784, 1786, 1789) in Abbots Bromley, and then five in Hanley (1792, 1794, 1797, 1799, 1802). Proof either that they were the same couple, or that they were different couples, would be equally acceptable. Any help would be welcomed. Graham --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hello everyone my interests are William Cotton born 1843 probably within the potteries area, and in 1881 living with his wife Ann Maria Cotton ( nee Roberts ) in the Shelton district of Hanley she was born 1856, William was described as a general labourer and Ann Maria as a potters sponger living with them was their son Samuel Cotton age 3 and Margaret J Cotton age 13..so presumably this was William Cottons 2nd marriage I would be pleased to hear from anyone who has a connection with any of these names.

Hi Am very interested in this middle name of NIXON I have a great aunt born Mary Nixon BOURNE, father William Thompson Bourne, mother Mary Belfield. Where does the Nixon come from? Also it isn't Cobridge church Burslem, its Christ Church, Cobridge (a place between Burslem and Hanley) - where the above couple were married! Maybe the vicar was called Nixon :-) Janet Howell www.risinsun.co.uk Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
