One or two emails have made it through to the lists lately giving just a single URL, as it says on the bottom of every posting to the lists that I run, DON'T follow a single URL posted to the list (usually with no other text), it's usually from an infected source. There's nothing that I can do to stop a mail getting through from a subscriber who is infected (I can only stop unsubbed people from posting). There has recently been a hack on Yahoo mail where most of this problem is emanating at the moment. I can only unsub people after the event and allow them to resub after they've cleaned their machines and hopefully moved to a safer email provider.

Sian, Try http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html Another alternative is to get the family at that address in one of the censuses and move forward or backward through the census pages until you find a nearby cross street. Peter.

Hi Sian, Leek New Road is the main road from Leek, passing through Ladderedge, Longsdon, Endon, Stockton Brook, Baddeley Green Milton to Cobridge ending at the traffic lights, juunction.  Leek Road starts from the low Railway Bridge by Stoke Station passing through Shelton Joiners Square, Lime Kiln,  Abbey Hulton, Milton, to Milton Church where Baddeley Green Lane starts which joins onto Leek New Road at Baddeley Green. Stoke Road starts at Queensway by the other railway bridge at Stoke Station, going past Hanley Cemetery and Hanley Park The College to Snow Hill, ending just above College Road where it merges into Broad Street, up into Hanley Shopping Centre or should we say the City Centre. Hoping this helps.

Thank you Peter. I had started to do that and lost the plot a bit! My family is there in 1911. I will endeavour to try again. I suppose I am being lazy looking for someone with local knowledge.

Hello, I am looking at an assessment of the window tax for the liberty of Waterfall for the year 1782 (in Frances Alice Harvey's excellent book, Waterfall of Yesterday). It lists names and amounts but I realise that I don't actually know what the "Liberty of Waterfall" covers geographically. Can anyone help, please? I also want to say thank you in advance as I am really grateful to all those who share their knowledge so helpfully here. It is really appreciated, not only by me, I'm sure but by many, many others.

Hi Diana: What you say concerns Registration Districts, and is quite correct. But the concept of a "Registration County" is, as I said, purely a statistical artefact, with no other purpose.
