There were a lot of lathe treaders in the Potteries, mainly women - a lathe was used to smooth rough bits off items produced on the thrower's wheel. A quote from "Cup & Saucer Land": "An old method of turning the lathe - still in vogue (in 1908) - is by means of a spring board axed on the ground and connected with the lathe. A woman stands on this board and keeps it in motion by a constant upward and downward movement of the body, which sets and keeps the lathe in motion. This woman is known as a "Lathe-treader". "Cup & Saucer Land" was a re-print by the Staffs & SOT Archive Service of a book originally published in 1908, written by Rev Malcolm Graham, Vicar of Burslem.

Names: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego - the three children of Israel cast into the fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar ( see O.T. Book of Daniel) Plaster and lath was a way of constructing walls and ceilings ( our church porch has it) and sometimes floors. see http://www.soundhome.com/topics/topic_plaster.shtml A list of old occupations has LATH RENDER(ER) A person who puts the first coat of plaster onto laths on floor and ceiling.

Thank you all for confirming my idea that the young lady had something to do with a lathe and not plastering. I did check with the potteries jobs index at _http://www.thepotteries.org/jobs/index2.htm_ (http://www.thepotteries.org/jobs/index2.htm) which I have found useful in the past but it was not mentioned Good luck all DrGeneal

In Lancashire in the mid 1800, it was more common to be Non-conformist than to be RC or CofE. The first Mormon Temple in the world was at Preston in Lancashire. Most of my ancestors from Lancashire were Methodists or Quakers. The ones that came north from the midlands were C of E. Best wishes, Pauline from Lancashire

I think Meshec was one of a trio of Old Testament men .Wasn't there a negro spiritual song about Shadrack, Meshac and Abendigo ? I would guess that lath treader is indeed a Lathe treader. She would have been a cheap souce of power for the lathe machine! Best wishes, Graham Jackson.

I thought after 50 years of Genealogy I'd seen most things but today I had two novelties presented to me by the 1891 census of Newcastle-under-Lyme The writing is by no means immaculate but the boy is named MESHEC and the daughter of 18 years is a "lath treader" The rest of the family work at an iron works, presumably Shelton bar and have perfectly ordinary English names. Fed into the 1901 census the search turned up almost 200 !! Meshachs but I had not seen it before. What on earth does a lath treader do? are these bits of wood used wet to make them pliable? the enumerator has added the word "Earth" in the vicinity.A possibility is that she operated the treadle of a lathe, but that seems a peculiar job for a girl. Anybody any ideas (particularly a plasterer?) DrGeneal

Dr. General and Listers: I like Grahams theory re. Meshec. It seems to me, and this is only surmising from different things I have seen, that the Potteries had more than its fair share of "non-conformist" Christian types. In my mind, that would explain the use of names from the Old Testament that hadn't typically been used in England before. The late 19th Century is a time (I believe) that is called by many the "Great Revival" -- ie. alot of religion going around. Guess the point of this post is to look for confirmation that this area of England was indeed a hotbed of Methodists, Baptists and the like and any other interesting facts that might flow from there.

William, FREEBMD has a death of one JOSHUA HUGHES, as follows: ----------------------- Deaths Mar 1893 Hughes Joshua 30 Wolstanton 6b 75 ----------------------- This would explain why he was not on the 1901 census at least, not sure about the 1891.

A Joshua Hughes married an Elizabeth Hancock in 1884 in a Civil Marriage at Wolstanton.I strongly believe that this Joshua Hughes was a relative of mine,the problem being that there is no sign of this Couple after this date on any Census.

I may as well tell everyone how I came to post the query concerning Joshua and Elizabeth.This all arose out of my research into my Conway Family who relocated to Staffordshire after 1851 from Flintshire.One of this Conway Family Ann born in Flint Flintshire in c 1831 married a William Hughes in Mow Cop St Thomas in 1854,and are living in Williamson's Row Biddulph in 1871.Three sons are listed,among them a Joshua Hughes,listed as born in Hanley in c 1862.He is again living with his by now widowed Mother in 1881.That is the last Census that I can find him in.Which leads me to having found the Marriage between a Joshua Hughes and Elizabeth Hancock.I have studied the Joshua Hughes entries in the Census for Staffordshire,and can find no other suitable candidates to have been Married to Elizabeth Hancock,whose Birth Details I do not know as obviously the point of my query was that I had not found the couple in the later Census years.

Greetings from a new lister (just slipped over the border from Cheshire and North Shropshire) I have a George HUXLEY who is shown on the 1861-1901 census onwards as a miner or labourer at Knutton. He was born c. 1830 in Wrenbury parish, Cheshire. I have a possible sighting of him in 1841 still in Cheshire, but nothing in 1851. Is anyone able to look for him on the 1851 census, please? He was at Knutton Heath in 1861, with wife Augusta aged 34 (born Hanley), and later in High Street, Knutton. Best wishes to all Alan Huxley
