Hi I am looking for any information on the ancestors of Moses Tunstall born ab 1700 at Burslem to John Tunstall and I believe Mary Wedgewood Moses married Sarah Jackson in 1730 and had 2 daughters in Burslem and another daughter Nancy (my ancestor) in 1736 at Stoke, before moving to Dearham in Cumberland where they had more children before moving to Brigham area, where Moses was buried in 1757 and Sarah in 1780. I believe Moses came to Dearham to work for Aaron Wedgwood, who came to Whitehaven ab 1695 to work for Lord Lowther in his pottery in Whitehaven, before moving to Dearham where he set up his own pottery. any information would be much appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation Sally Connor

Hi Sally I have a few Tunstall-Wedgwood marriages, but not this one. I am not connected to the tree, but I study family trees of major potters. I collect trees from the Internet, do my own work, or whatever, on these people. I have: John Tunstall married Sarah Wedgwood (father Moses Wedgwood); daughter Sarah Tunstall married Abner Wedgwood (parents Thomas Wedgwood & Mary Stringer) 4.7.1744 Burslem. Margaret Tunstall born 1678 married Aaron Wedgwood born 1671 (parents Thomas Wedgwood & Margaret) William Tunstall married Sarah Wedgwood 23.6.1667 Burslem ( I don't have their ancestry). The Tunstalls also married into the Burslem family, and the Burslem family married into the Wedgwoods. It is worth noting that the Wedgwoods had a very strong tendency to marry cousins.
