Hi Linda, I have Baskeyfield's in my family. Herbert Baskeyfield, b c 1862 at Talke (Baskeyfield's Farm?) married my great-grandaunt Hannah Hackney, b c 1857 at Tunstall, at Burslem St Pauls in 1883. Their offspring were: Frederick, 1884; William 1886: Hannah 1887; Edith 1889; Emma 1891; Florrie 1893 and James 1894. Are these some of yours?? Regards, Keith

Hello, Does any one know where the records are held for Jubilee Chapel, Tunstall? Thanks, Linda I am interested in the Baskeyfield name.

Hi, I'm new on the list and declaring my interest in the following: William MOUNTFORT or MOUNTFORD born abt 1786 and his wife Ann(e) BROOK(E)S born about 1788. William is said to have been the 3rd son of Thomas MOUNTFORT of Leek. He was a baker in Hanley in the period 1810-20. In 1820 he joined a party from Burslem who emigrated to the Cape Province of South Africa. He died there in 1869. Ann(e) BROOK(E)S was said to be the daughter of 'Mr BROOKES of the Weeping Cross, Stafford'. She died in South Africa in 1863. William and Anne had a number of children in Hanley before emigrating: Thomas (born 1811), Mary Brooks (born 1812), William (born abt. 1817) went with their parents to the Cape. John (b. 1814), Ralph (b. 1815) and Richard (b. 1819) didn't. I'd love to hear from anyone with information on or connections to these folk. Many thanks, Greg Lewin Stafford, UK

Hi Listers,I was reading that a number of men from Staffs were casualties in the crimean war.Could someone please tell me if there is a list on line to check the names.I have a number of Clays that I can't trace about the time of the war,so I thought I would try this avenue before searching other areas.Cheers Jess --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get?

Thanks, Eric. Conditions were even worse than I imagined. GGGrandfather Goodwin emigrated in January 1842, I guess before the riots and very early in the Emigration Scheme. He was a key player in East Liverpool, Ohio, pottery history.

Can anyone fill me in on details of the lottery amongst potters in Burslem c. 1840? Was this organized by unions to protect jobs? by the government? My gggrandfather was required to emmigrate in January 1842 because "his number came up "and "by special permission" came to the U.S. The story is that he had two weeks to settle his affairs--and family--purchase his own passage and get out of England. Did the program last a long time? Reading suggestions welcome. Thank you. Anne B. Wagner Portsmouth, RI USA

Thank you Dave.....this info does help me to at least realize that these places are near each other. I read somewhere where Worcester was surrounded by Staffordshire....I thought this was odd...but guess it is so. Sometimes I've seen Dudley as listed as Staffordshire, then another time as Worcester. I'll be checking out the sites you mentioned also. Thanks so much for the info. I'm definitely interested in the Mormon Mission you mentioned.
