Hi, I wonder if anyone is working on the Walters family of Caverswall. It's a bit of a nightmare as Walters mary Walters and they all seem to be named Adam, Lydia, Sophia or Henry ! Trawling my way through the IGI and 1881 census reveals Adam Walters who married Lydia Young at Caverswall in 1835, this is the family I'm interested in. If anyone can offer any help then it would be most welcome. Regards de Dave.

Thanks for that info John, my cousin, who is a Tunnicliffe (maiden name) does not know of a Sissy in her family, unfortunately. Good hunting, Keith

Joseph Shufflebotham married Ann Croxton 27 Oct 1844 St Peter's @ Stoke. I have his parents, paternal grandparents and siblings, also Ann's parents, maternal grandparents and siblings. Their daughter Ellen born 27 Feb 1845 Northwood. Where were Joe & Ann in 1851??? Did they have any more children? If there are any census index out there would someone please check them. I cant find anything from here in New Zealand. Ellen who was my husbands great garndmother came to NZ 1863 without any of her family. Thanks, Glenyce.

Hello John, Does Samuel Tunnicliffe, born 13 October 1901 in Stoke on Trent fit anywhere in your jigsaw?? Regards, Keith in N Z

Hi Keith, To be honest I got stuck and couldn't move forwards or backwards. Here are the gory details: My Dad was born 1921. His mum was Sissy Tunnicliff (no e). She was from a fairly wealthy family training to be a milliner? (doesn't look right) and she fell pregnant at 33ish to a Welsh sailor. Not being married caused a scandal. She stuck to her guns and kept my dad until he was 2 and a half then she had to put him in a children's home. She got back in touch with him when he was about 21 and kept in touch until her death. Oh yes she married twice, once when she was 85!!. My dad died last year from dementia, so I have only been able to start searching now. We take our name Tunnicliffe from his mum's side John _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

A wall has started to tumble down this morning with the arrival of a birth certificate of a Harriet CHADWICK born in Shelton in 1864. It is her brother Benjamin CHADWICK bc 1848 in Staffordshire with a father called Abraham CHADWICK who is my direct descendent but I haven't been able to find his birth in 10 yrs of searching. The certifcate states her father as Abraham CHADWICK and her mother as Harriet CHADWICK formerly FRADLEY lately ASHLEY. Checking FreeBMD and the IGI I have found a Harriet FRADLEY married a James ASHLEY in Stone in 1843, a Benjamin ASHLEY is registered in the Mar quarter of 1848 I'm wondering if this Benjamin ASHLEY became Benjamin CHADWICK when his mother married Abraham CHADWICK. Does anyone have an ASHLEY family which includes this Benjamin? Shirley Forster Guildford Surrey Web Page: http://www.geocities.com/saelwick/index.htm e-mail: elwick@one-name.org

Dear Anne, There is both a Mayer and Mellor connection in my family. The Mayers from my father's side, and Mellor from my mother's side. The Mayers I have originated from Tunstall and Norton, but had very large families and ofcourse it is possible that they moved away from that area, particularly the female members. I have a Josiah who married a Martha in 1840 and one of their daughters was a Martha b 1868, I realise not the one you are talking about, but you never know there may be a connection. The Mellor side is connected to my Parr family. Sarah Mellor married John Parr in 1851 in Burslem. The connections between the two families seems to have been long standing according to the parish registers.

Hi Listers, Is anyone researching the LYCETT name, in particular Robert Joseph LYCETT, born 4 January, 1876 at Halmerend, Audley, the son of John LYCETT and Mary BUSHELL. Robert Joseph married 9 February, 1907 at the Albert Memorial Church, Manchester. I cannot find Robert Joseph, or his parents on the 1881 and 1901 Censuses. Can anyone help me please?

Hello everyone I'm hoping that someone can help me. Am researching my Turner Family they were Josiah & Ann Turner and lived at 30 Victoria St. in Stoke. Josiah was a master house painter. They were a large family of 14 children. The first six were born in St. Helens in Lancashire and the other 8 were all born at the Victoria St. home. Today I got new infor on some of the family members and am wondering how or where to go from here on it. In the stuff I received there is a picture of a soldier and it says on it Private J. Turner well it rules out the father Josiah due to age but could be his son also a Josiah or a son John question is how do I find out?? All that is marked on it is Kings Shropshire Light Infantry an address of I Company, 10 Hut Killworth Camp, County Cork Ireland and a number 16005. Also there was a funeral notice in the stuff for a Corporal Walter William Turner 17 Gate St. Hanley who died of wounds in France on 12 april 1918. His memorial service wa! s held at Northwood Church on 5 May 1918. He was married to a Hannah Turner. Several years before they had a son Harold Turner who died at age 1 and is buried in Burslem this child was born n April 1905 and died 23 Sept 1906 listed as their home then was 43 Hanover ST Burslem. So I would like to be able to trace Hannah to see if there were any other children and possibly relatives not out there someplace. Next there is a receipt for a burial from the Fenton Parish Church for 18 pounds to inter a Hannah Willshaw lived on Denbigh St. she was put into grave #193 this is dated March 19, 1889 I have no clue who she is and would like to find out and where this cemetery is??? All the Turner family was my Grandmothers family. So these above would be her brothers. Also looking for the family of her older sister's husband that being David and Mary Whittingham they lived at Vicarage Cottage in Wolstanton. David died April 17, 1907 and Mary died Dec 11, 1906 their funeral was he! ld at St. Margarets Church inWolstanton. Also do any of you know of the Marsh Buildings in Wolstanton is it an apartment complex or what? That is also coming into play with the Whittighams. Am looking for anyone related to a Charles Pownall living at that address he was a stepson of the Whittinghams we believe. He was also in the 2nd Battalion Reg of Rifle Brigade enlisted in Nov 1867 and discharged in Nov 1879. My mind is spinning with getting all of this today but need some direction on where to go from here with it all. Many thanks to all of you I know you will give me some clues! With thanks, Margie
