Thanks Steve and to Helen Hopkins and Jim Rushton who have helped me locate 'Piccadilly Shelton'. It was just a name on a marriage certificate until you kind listers pointed me in the right direction. (and supplied maps) All I have to work out now is why my ggrandparents Joseph Taylor & Ellen HALL would travel from their hometown Prescot , Lancashire in Jan 1870 to be married at Stoke Register Office.
