Hi Can someone please tell me if this is the correct list for Cauldon........between Ashbourne and Cheadle. New information recently received provides two Cauldon addresses for my John William Jones b 1876 and his father William Jones: Bangor Terrace, Cauldon Lowe, Cheadle, Stoke on Trent - dated October 1899; and 21 Stony Lane, Cauldon, W Ashbourne, Derbyshire - subsequent to 1899. Is the 1891 census available for this area? Finally, why can't I find Cauldon on the 1901 census? Hope some knowledgeable person can help me out.

I am researching the following names - GRATWICH : Barlaston (Staffs) WOOTTON : Barlaston (Staffs), Moddershall (Staffs), Stone (Staffs) I would be pleased to hear from anyone with similar interests. Tim

Barrie DEfinatley living at Basford Lodge, half way up Basford Bank. he is 24 and Fanny is 26, he is born in STONE but I cant make out where she was born So he would have only been 19 when he married Fanny ELKIN at Wolstanton St Margaret, in 1887 Do you have the info from that marriage cert ? I got the info of StaffordshireBMD Steve

Hi Ann, Yes we have corresponded before about the name Mayer I am no further foward though. Our information was that my father-in-law (John Mayer) parents were James Mayer and ? Hartshorne (not even positive about the spelling). On the Roll of Honour it gives his parents as James & Ellen. When we found a marriage of James Mayer to Mary Ellen Hartshorne in 1908, the year before John was born we thought it was the right one. We knew she had been married before to a Tom Pedley and put this on the form. The very helpful lady at the register office phoned to say that Mary Ellen had been a widow and that her previous marriage was to a Hancock. No mention of Pedley. We are now awaiting John Mayer's service record so that we can check his exact date of birth. There was a John Mayer born born right month and year and the Registrar kindly checked and found his parents were James & Mary Ellen, so hopefully his record will clear it up and start things moving. I will be in touch when we know some more. Jeanne _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail on your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile

Jeanne, Have we corresponded before about any MAYER connection? I have MAYERs in my tree from Norton in the Moors, Endon, and Stone and Wolstanton, Staffs.

Dear Jeanne, don't know if I have been in touch with you before, sorry it is not regarding Wildin, but my maiden name is Mayer and was wondering if you Mayer surname came from the Potteries?

Someone on this list very kindly found William H. WILDIN for me on the 1891 census, but as he was in the workhouse there was no sign of Catherine Minnie. Which Workhouse would that be ? Stoke or Chell ? Or somewhere else ? You could check to see what the workhouse records say - When she married in 1874, she was living with the family of Charles LEESE who she married. Where was that ? Have you checked that address on the 1881 ? The 1881 census is not gospel - and you should always check info found in there against the original fiche . As you know the quarter she was born in then if you write to the Stoke Registrar they will send you a birth cert for ?7 From that you will get his exact name, mothers name and maiden name and place of residence . From that place of residence you can check the 1871 and 1881 census Not bad for ?7, methinks Steve Stoke Registrars full address is :- Registar Office Town Hall Albion Square Hanley Stoke-on-Trent ST1 1QQ 01782 295640 fax 01782 295648

I have a Catherine Minnie WILDIN Born June Qtr. 1873 Stoke. (Freebmd) On her marriage certificate it states her Father was William Henry WILDIN I am unable to find either of them on the 1881 census on familysearch. There are a total of 99 WILDIN'S in the whole of the U.K. in 1881 with that exact spelling. 13 of them are in Staffordshire but neither of them are amongst them. I think there must be an error somewhere. Has anyone any idea of where I go next? I am trying to find any other family members. Searching all spellings of the name doesn't find them either. Someone on this list very kindly found William H. WILDIN for me on the 1891 census, but as he was in the workhouse there was no sign of Catherine Minnie. When she married in 1874, she was living with the family of Charles LEESE who she married. Hope someone can help.

Hi Dawn - You should get in touch with Eric Harrison. his address is at the end. I should have said that it is best if you are in the Uk and especially better if you are in Staffordshire. There are several jobs that have to be done . and here are a few I know .... Transcribe - Eric gives me a wodge of photo copied sheets which are for either an Area or a Church. Areas for Births and Deaths and Churches for marriages - for churches read any building where a wedding could take place. Eric also gives you a little program that runs on any computer . You run it and it asks three things Surname, Formname and page ...... And as you look at the sheet it is also in the same order. so its just a matter of opening the program, type the three words that appear on the sheet, then pres enter and do the next line and so on until you have completed one register- One reg normally equals 500 lines- it aint daunting at all. Once started you can stop the program and have a rest - sometimes days in my case - then yoiu just start again from where you left off. Once the regis complete - you can email the file to Eric and say what it is - That is printed on the front sheet of the papers. You start another one .......then send it to eric..... When he get the datafiles he sorts it into a page orer and then goes to the registrars and checks the input againb the indexes and where anomalies show up- and there are many - with the registrars authority he corrrects our indexes and tells the registrar where his/her indexs are wrong !!! and they are in some cases . SO you see all the tech bits are done by Eric and Bill . His address is ric.kidsgrove61@btinternet.com Yes it is ric and not eric Other jobs that people do are :- xeroxing the original registars index - to send out to the likes of me delivering sheets to folks houses . I know Eric is well on the go with LEEK, STOKE ,NEWCASTLE and Litchfield but there are plenty of other registrars in staffysher who are still to come on board. Are you in Staffs or external - Anyway if you can help - drop eric a line- but please dont feel under any obligation.

Thanks Steve for that. The Ref is RG12/2153 Reuben BELL and spouse Fanny. A couple of other listers have suggested BASFORD too, and I think that is what it must say.

What is the piece and folio refernce - I can look it up as I have the census and only live a mile or two away. At first glance it looks like BASFORD lodge, BASFORD Hall and BANK HOUSE BASFORD. At the bottom of Basford Bank is Etruria Station Half way up Basford Bank, on the North side was Fowlea Farm - roughly where MFI is now.

Jean said ...... Hi Terry, It's me again, Jean. Do you know about the new website still being transcribed. You may be lucky there, or you may have to be patient ,(Hm) like me? and wait till they have done your bit. Or you could contact Eric or Bill Harrison and volunteer to do a bit - It is extremely easy and anyone who can type, with any amount of fingers between 1& 10, will be racing away within minutes . And the job gets done more quickly. Its etremely theraputic as well A problem shared is a problem halved - Steve
