Would it be possible for a lookup for a buriel in Burslem for any with the surname of Cotton. I have been of the belief that one of my Cotton's might be buried there. I believe her name might be Lillie. TIA Regards, Susan

Hi Ethel, I don't have any information on Fegg Hayes Chapel or the SPROSTON family, but John SPROSTON married Susannah WHITMORE at St Margaret's Church in Wolstanton on 5 Aug 1833. They had a daughter, Susannah Harriet SPROSTON, who was baptised at St Paul's Church in Burslem on 21 Feb 1836. John SPROSTON died in 1834, and Susannah remarried. Her second husband was John EDWARDS. John and Susannah EDWARDS had several children; their eldest daughter Mary Ann married into my STEVENSON family. Mary Ann and Isaac STEVENSON lived in Chatterley, so perhaps her first husband is connected to your SPROSTONs? I'm afraid I have no other details on John SPROSTON's birth or his parents. Please let me know if you think there is a connection.

Hallo Rosie. Very kind of you. I am looking initially for: Henry ABOTTS 27-1-1874 Ann Abbotts wife of the above 22-10-1878 I know that this grave is/was there. There may also be: Richard ROGERS; Richard MITCHEL; Sarah MITCHEL wife of the above. Whereabouts in Stoke are you? My grandmother was born and lived most of her life in Ellgreave Street, Dale Hall, just below Saint Paul's Church of which she was a very active member. Unfortunately she didn't tell me about the grave in the churchyard, although I must have seen it as a child. My cousin described it as already being being in a bad state before the lawning over. Have you ever heard of the Sitch Brothers Mission? > > Hi Ron, > > I have a fiche of the MIs for Burslem St Paul's, if you let me know > what name(s) you are looking for I can check it for you. > > Best wishes > Rosie Pursglove > Stoke-on-Trent > > > > > Ron S

Hello Rosie, I know this was for Ron, but I just wonder if you have come across the names , John Ashley or Jane Ashley They are my Great-grandparents- It is just a long shot.

Rosie: I know your offer was to Ron, but I was wondering if you would mind checking to see if there are any WHITTINGHAM entries on your fiche. I would certainly appreciate it. There isn't much I can do for you in return, unless your ancestors had descendents in British Columbia. I do have the 1881 Census CD's and the BVRI (v1) if you need anything. Thanks!

Hi Ron, I have a fiche of the MIs for Burslem St Paul's, if you let me know what name(s) you are looking for I can check it for you. Best wishes Rosie Pursglove Stoke-on-Trent

Does anyone know whether there are MIs recorded for Burslem Saint Paul's or whether it is included in the NBI? C. 1875. The graveyard was lawned over about 30 years ago and the church demolished and replaced about twenty years ago. Ron S

Hi I think that these WEALE's/WHEALE's are on my Husbands direct line. I can't get at his research at the moment, but from memory, this line originated somewhere in the Liverpool LAN area (they spent some time in the Parish of St.Martin in the Fields Liverpool, a son named Zadok was born to a Richard in that Parish in the early 1800's) moved through the Potteries area (no doubt John Roberts will tell you where the area is in the absence of Dave) esp Wellington, Halmer End, Audley, Newcastle etc., and then moved to Oldbury WOR. (in the Black Country). There was a strong connection with the WOODVINE's of Wellington and Audley (a group of those moved to Kingswinford STS and lodged with the WEALE's/WHEALE's). My Husbands maternal line is a direct result of the WHEALE's/WHEAL's marrying the WOODVINE's. To add to it, a number of WHEALE's/WEALE's emigrated to Newcastle PA (the States) and have a yearly WHEALE/WEALE/WHALE reunion over there. I hope that makes sense Jo ps. Have you looked around Prees SAL for the WEALE's? -----Original Message----- From: Janet Barry [mailto:j_barry2@hotmail.com] Sent: 27 June 2002 14:38 To: ENG-STS-THE-POTTERIES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: New lister Hi everybody I'm a new lister and looking for Wilfred WEALE and his father Richard WEALE.

Could you let me have the references for the bad fiche. I have seen quite a lot of the Census at the PRO as it is down the road from me. Most of the handwriting is high quality copperplate and extremely easy to read, I would be grateful to see the less good. I can also check to see whether the PRO copy is any better.

Having become tired of waiting for the on-line version of the above "comic" project, our FHS has bought the fiche for our area. My wife and I have been doing some Surname Indexing and have just completed 3 Piece No's. We each have 25 years of extensive experience in reading "old" handwriting. In 2 of the Enumeration districts, the handwriting was so impossibly bad, that a very large proportion of the names were impossible to read., despite extremely careful poring over each one with a very high power magnifying glass. Thus, If WE are unable to read the fiche, how on earth have Prisoners and Foreigners, both classes of persons having NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in the Project, been able to decipher these names??? The worth of the whole project is going to be open to VERY grave doubt. If ever it does come on-line, I for one will totally ignore it.
