Find Ancestors

Hi Elizabeth, I'd be really grateful if you could help with either of the following: Mary Ann BAILEY, b. 1841 in Rowley (Regis) - she might just have made it for the census! Also William BELCHER, b. 1837 in Dog Lane. These 2 married and were living in Waterfall Lane, Rowley Regis in 1861, so that's possibly where Mary Ann's family were in 1841. Would love to have info on the parents if you can find them. Thanks very much, Val Ford

Could you please look for any DURBER families living in the St John area of Burslem. Regards William Russell Jones Cefn Mawr Wrexham.

HI Elizabeth, I'm looking for a OBADIAH WESTON. He should be at Daisy Bank in DILHORNE. He'll be c. 36 and should be with his wife Sarah, son John and daughters Caroline and Hannah. If you happen to spot any other WESTON's in Dilhorne I'd be very grateful for their info as well. Thanks :-) Clare.xxx

Hi Elizabeth Thanks for the offer. I'm keen to trace any POXTONs in Staffordshire (or anywhere actually!). But in particular it would be very useful to see if a William POXTON, b ca. 1780 is still alive at the time of the 1841 census. My 4g grandfather was born in the Norton Canes/Brownhills/Clayhanger area. He was married to Mary - although he may have had two wives - both called Mary unfortunately! The family moved around South Staffordshire. I think William and Mary's first child was Thomas POXTON born in Pelsall (he was christened there). Any help you can provide would be gratefully accepted. Regards Mark Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire

Being new to the site, I sent this earlier today by the wrong route! Sorry for the repetition. You must be a saint to undertake all these searches! I would be very grateful it you could find information about Eli Allcock, who I believe was born in Stafford in 1831, making him about 10 years old in 1841. Thankyou in anticipation, Mai Orme

BECKY: Hi, I've been through the whole of the parish now but didn't find an Emily Colclough with the right age. I did find the Sabina you mentioned, but no Emily in that family, and I also found an "Emileh" (think that's what it says) aged 6. If either of those are of interest to you let me know - I've saved the details and images for now. Liz

Hi I'm looking for a VERNON PEDLEY, in 1841 he would be about 15. Born in Wetley Rocks Staffordshire, (also spelled as Whetty or Whiteley, depending which census) . Could be living either there or Cheddleton, Staffordshire. Sorry but I don't know his parents details. Hopefully won't be too many Vernon Pedleys. Don't have a street name but Wetley Rocks is only very small now, must have been minute in 1841!! Same for Cheddleton. Also if you have the time, THOMAS HILL (b1821) of Leek, Staffordshire, possibly at this time married to ELIZABETH JERVISS but not sure. Thanks for looking, even if you don't find anything I'm very grateful. Sam

REBECCA: She's not in the township of Wolstanton, but if you give me a few days I'll check the rest of the parish. Got a busy week so can't do it in the next couple of days. Liz
