Hi Listers, Could sks with access, please look up William MORRIS on the 1891 staffs census? In 1881 he was aged 12 and living in Burslem with his parents James and Eliza MORRIS. In 1891 he may still be unmarried, or he might have been married to a Sarah (possibly GORDON but unsure on surname.) I would be very grateful for any info. TIA Regards, Jean.

Ann, I have only Thomas Johnson, born 1845, son of Joseph Johnson (born about 1819) and Elizabteh Elmsore (born about 1823). The only Johnsons after them are Thomas's children, and they don't include any of the names you mention. Doesn't mean they aren't related, of course! Will keep the names incase I ever find a link.

Hi, Continuing saga of the Tunnicliffe clan. I think I may have found my GGfather's wife (well clutching at straws to be honest) Father Michael Tunnacliffe (should be Tunnicliffe) b. abt 1792 Mother Sabria Lawton married 22 Nov 1806 Stoke on Trent Their son Michael Tunnicliffe christened 30 May 1813 High Street Chapel or Lower Chapel Wesleyan, Longton, Stafford. I had his d.o.b abt. 1814 I am just a wee bit brain dead at the moment and not quite sure where to look next. Thanks in advance for any help.

Good morning from the USA, If someone on the list has access to the 1871 census, will you please look-up the William Johnson family who lived at 42 S. Anne's St. in Shelton? My great grandfather --Henry--lived there when he was married in 1875. Hopefully the family was living there then. I would like to have the names of the rest of the family--mother and siblings, and ages. Henry would have been 20 years old when he was married in 1875. Thanks, Ann Atherton Ohio, USA

Liz, I noticed that you had a Johnson listed. My grandmother was a Johnson born in 1877 around the area of Shelton. Her name is Eliza. The parents- Henry Johnson and Esther Harley-- were married in St. Marks, I believe, in 1875. I have not been able to find a birth record for her Do you have any connection to this Johnson? Henry's father was William Johnson. Thanks. Ann Atherton Ohio.

Hi list, many thanks to those who replied re : Milton Parish Church. Thanks again, Dave.

Dear Elizabeth, I am researching my husband's family and there is a Jane Malkin (b approx 1805) who married Thomas Bettany. They had daughter, Hannah married Thomas Hulme in 1866. Unfortunately I do not have a great deal of informaion on the Malkin family as yet. I wondered if you knew of the family.

Dear Potteries List, I don't know if there are people out there who are Stoke/Newcastle-Buxton connections, but if so..... Jesse BUXTON married Mary EMERSON(?) in 1810 in Norton-in-the-Moors. Their son, Jesse Buxton, born 1814 - I'm sure there were other children? He married Martha MALKIN in 1836 in Wolstanton. Their children: Henry, born 1838 in Hanley (married Elizabeth?, children: William Henry, Lewis and Mary Jane) Jesse, born S-O-T 1840. Penelope, born 1845, married Robert BATTERSBY. Sarah Anne, born 1847, died ?1867. Emma, born 1849, married Thomas JOHNSON - this line in Toronto, Canada by 1887 - had 9 children - any descendants out there? I have the names of their children, and some of their marriages, etc. Cynthia Tryphenia, born 1851 in Trent Vale, married William BROWN. Martha, born 1858, Fenton, married William BROWN. Jesse, above, married Emily TITTENSOR in 1862 in Chesterton. their children: Charles, 1862 Sarah Annie, 1868 (married Jesse STATON) Emily, 1871 Jesse, 1873 Ada, 1875. Charles above, married Sarah WILLIAMS 1883 in St George's, Newcastle. Their children: Ethel 1884 Jesse 1886 Jesse was my Grandfather. We were always told that Charles, Apprentice Pawnbroker in 1881, took his family to Canada between 1887 and 1891 - to work on the railways?. He died out there, and Sarah and the children were back in Stoke by 1891. It can't be a coincidence that Emma Johnson and her family went to Toronto at about the same time. I haven't been able to follow this up - no idea where they sailed from, or where they arrived - but having family in Toronto may be a clue? If there is anyone who knows any more, or who is connected anywhere, I'd be so pleased. Hopefully, Liz Elizabeth Lane, Worthing, Sussex, England liz_lane@ntlworld.com

Many thanks for that Jack, it will be a great help to me, Keith in N Z

Hi list, just received a marriage certificate from 1947. The marriage took place at Milton Parish Church, am I correct in saying this was St Philips and St James ? Also, I have a 1891 census page and the address looks like Arthur Street, Longton does anyone know where this is ( was ) ? Regards de Dave

I have the 1851 CDs from Gordon Beavington. A big drawback to using them is that Gordon doesn't reference the folio numbers in his image names. So going from the 1851 surname index from the BMSGH to Gordon's images isn't straightforward. On the other hand, the individual .jpg images are useful. What I've been doing is building a folio number/image name/geographic location index as I search Gordon's CDs. For each CD I also built a calculator which relates folio numbers to Gordon's image names so I can fairly quickly go from folio numbers in the BMSGH surname index to the corresponding images on Gordon's CDs. My index is incomplete but it does show Kidsgrove as folios 171 to 233 in piece 2002. On Gordon's CDs this is on CD 2, folder "2002Wolstanton" sub-folders "5Ranscliffe" and "5Brieryhurst".

Hello Everyone, Does anyone know of these names, I am researching John Henry and Elizabeth Meddings (nee Bassett) in the Shelton area. Grateful for any help and information. Thank you, Lilian
