Not the answer to your specifiic question.....but perhaps provides a clue to a possible answer based on a similar name nearby......"Aston Villa FC< was founded in March, 1874. It began as an off-shoot of the nearby Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel, which was established in 1850. The origin of the name derives from the area that contained a house of the name Aston Villa that was built in the 1700s, a 'villa' being a type of house. 'Aston' is the name of an ancient area which was adjacent to Birmingham and is now part of Birmingham. The house gave its name to the district where the Chapel was built. *For that knowledge, we owe our thanks to the research of the late Mr. G. L. Wilson of Warwick, formerly of Erdington, Birmingham. Both Mr. Wilson and his father attended the Aston Villa Wesleyan (Methodist) Chapel up to 1962.* " On 27 August 2012 21:52, Robert Burns <famh1story@aim.com> wrote: > I am looking at the 1871 census for Bloxwich and believe the address my > Great great grandfather was living at was Dudley Villa however this address > runs for a large number of pages.

Is there anyone going to the above Record Office in the near future? I can find the marriage record I need on the UK Registers BMDs , but before I try to send for a certificate (overseas) I wondered if there was anyone going there who could look it up for me. I'd be most grateful. I don’t need the certificate, I just need the information and I’ve checked all the online places that have records. The marriage took place at Trent Vale: Deposited parish registers at Staffordshire Record Office: Mar 1845-1955 I would be so grateful. Please contact me off list. Barbara

I am looking at the 1871 census for Bloxwich and believe the address my Great great grandfather was living at was Dudley Villa however this address runs for a large number of pages. Does anyone know if this was a street or something more sinister please Rob

Hello Rosalind, FreeREG has a baptism at Burslem (which contains the parish of Longport) in the church of St John the Baptist of a Thomas HANCOCK on 18 March 1783, parents John & Mary HANCOCK which may be relevant to you. The only baptisms to the couple which appear on FreeREG are those of John on 14 August 1815 and Thos on 14 September 1817 at St John the Baptist to Thomas & Hannah HANCOCK of Newport, Potter. However, so far I have been unable to find a marriage for Thomas & Hannah. Janet I'm getting back into genealogy again after a lengthy absence, and I'm interested in a Thomas HANCOCK, born about 1783, Longport. He was a pottery warehouseman, and was married to a Hannah, but I don't have her surname, or details of the marriage. They had at least the following children; - Mary, born approximately 1810, Staffordshire John, born 1815, Newport Thomas, born 1817, Newport, d. 1817. Betsy, born 1823, Longport They may also have had a daughter Hannah, born around 1810. Thomas' wife Hannah died in the 1820s, and he remarried in 1830 to a Sophia BROUGH. Mary married John HURD in 1838.

Andy I was told this at a Family History class many years ago .... perhaps since people didn't have the luxury of fast cars etc and it took quite a time to get from A to B they may have been travelling back etc .... also I was told that "The Family" of the house would have had visitors over Easter and any Servants would be given the following weekend "off". As I said you "May" find them away It wasn't necessarily compulsory ... What you have said brings me to a very important issue here ..... DON'T believe everything you hear OR read ! REMEMBER .... every piece of information whether it be Registration, Census, Wills or Parish etc is ONLY hearsay ......... someone has uttered it and someone has written it down ! Thanks again for reminding me of this VERY important fact !

Also researching OAKES, COWEN, SMITH, MYATT in the Potteries.

Hi List, Boy that was quick with those answers. Thanks to those that have responded. It matches what I suspected, and that is were Thomas christening took place on the 7 Dec 1819. Thanks again. Ron

Hi List, On the 1861 Census, Thomas MELLOR was living at Manchester, Lancashire. The Transcription on Ancestry says he can from Brood, Staffordshire, and on FindmyPast says he can from Brook. On viewing the original Census, it reads as Brood. I can not find Brood on Google Earth or in any Gazetteers, plus Phillimores Parish Registers. Can anyone shed light onto were this place may be. TIA Ron

Ron: This is Brewood, pronounced Brood.

Hi Denise You are quite right. Joseph married Ann Boot. Samuel died at The Flatts in 1828 leaving a wife Mary and 5 young children. The youngest was baptised 6 months after Samuel died. Six years later Mary married his kid brother Jonathan which was not permitted at the time. Joseph's will does not acknowledge this second marriage and left Samuel's portion to his widow Mary and then added a codicil to change the legacy to be left to Samuel's children.

I am trying to establish whether the Joseph Mayer who married Mary A McGrath in a civil marriage in Wolstanton in September quarter 1911, is the Joseph MAYER who is the nephew of my great grandmother Martha MAYER who married Joseph KKISEY. This Joseph is the son of Joseph MAYER a farmer married to Mary Elizabeth BOSSON or BOSSEN in 1882 in Christ Church Hilderstone. Their families farmed neighbouring farms in Hilderstone. Mary died in June 1885, and Joseph MAYER senior then remarried to Hannah Mari Whitney, and had 7 children. Joseph MAYER junior spent most of his early life, as far as I can see with his childless aunt Mary JOYNSON ( nee MAYER) in Wolstanton. He worked as a watch and clockmaker and jeweller. I'd be grateful if anyone can confirm this marriage ( or tell me I've got the wrong Joseph MAYER so I can look for another marriage for him!) Thanks Anne (nee KINSEY)
