I, too, am interested in the name LOCKLEY in Staffs. I have Ernest LOCKLEY b. 10 November 1849 in Gt. Haywood, Colwich (GRO birth certificate). The name 'Gt. Haywood' is from the 1881 UK Census. He m. Louisa SLATER in Derbyshire in 1869, and his father's name and occupation were given as 'Anthony LOCKLEY, Butler' (GRO marriage certificate). The christening record for Ernest LOCKLEY [Church of England. Parish Church of Colwich (Staffordshire), Bishop's Transcripts, 1659-1871, (Salt Lake City: Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1965, 1966), FHL British Film 426529 Item 1] gives the names of his parents as Anthony and Julia LOCKLEY. An Anthony LOCKLEY was christened in the parish church of Colwich 29 September 1822. So it would seem that there were LOCKLEYs in Colwich for some time. I have been unable to discover any siblings of my Anthony LOCKLEY in Staffs. I have no idea whether there may be a connection with my Colwich LOCKLEYs and Annette's Hanley LOCKLEYs (below). Any interest or help would be greatly appreciated.

> Sylvia Piccadilly is one of the main streets in Hanley which borders Shelton. That is true today, but in 1870 Piccadilly was in Shelton. Shelton was a large area and not as it is today - The boundary between Hanley and Shelton went right up to Albion Square, down Stafford Street and Along Bryan Street - Anything to the west was Shelton !!

Sylvia, There's a Street called Picadilly in Hanley which is just up the road from Shelton. I don't know how well you know the area but if you find the train statrion on a map,it's very close to Shelton,Hanley is about a mile North of it.

Hi all Off list topic I know but what looks like an interesting programme for UK listers on BBC2 at 9 tonight - Motherland -a Genetic Journey. Regards Les Hall

There is a photo of the Hanley Secondary School on Steve Birks' Stoke on Trent web site. May I have pictures #1 and #2? Some of my HADFIELD family would have been in the school system at the time. The only one I am sure about is Mary Elizabeth Hadfield (1887-1909) who had a book prize from HSS in 1905.

Hello List, Can anyone help me with the following please? Richard HUGHES was born on 23.11.1858 at Bow Street, Hanley he was the son of John and Ann nee HUGHES. I would like to trace the birthplace of his parents and wondered if there was an entry in the 1861 Census for the address or is there perhaps an index available. He married Mary Ann MORREY aged 18, at Trinity Church Northwood on 14.02.1881 and subsequently moved up to the north east to work in the mines at Seaham, Co. Durham. Happy Trails, Raymond Thompson Seaham Harbour
