I have cousins that live in the Gnosall area. They once lived in the Newport area, where their roots began at some time. If I can help let me know.

One of my probable great great grandfathers was a John Anslow, born in Church Eaton, just south of Gnosall, in 1822. I haven't been able to get further back although there is an 1841 Census entry for a John, son of Abraham and Margaret Anslow, living in Gnosall, Staffordshire (HO107/974/6 folio 35 page 11) who might be him.

[quote/]Do you know who your John Anslow, born at Church Eaton in 1822, married?
From my research notes on this elusive great grat grandfather:-
John was married to a Harriet and this is confirmed by the 1851, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 Censuses.
It might be reasonable to say the marriage took place in Willenhall as this seems to be Harriet's birthplace and they lived there afterwards.
Based on the 1851 Census, they were married at the time of the Census. The IGI has an entry for the marriage of a John Anslow and a Harriet Whittle on 22 September 1851 at Rushall, Staffordshire. This is presumably not them.
FreeBMD records the marriage of a John Anslow in Wolverhampton 17 349, December 1839. One of the names on the same page was Harriet Rollands. (This may be a little early as John would have been about 17. Also, why the large gap before their first (?) child.)
FreeBMD lists the marriage of a John Anslow in Wellington (18 321) in the second quarter of 1846. However, the only female name is that of Anne Icke.
FreeBMD records the marriage of a John Anslow in the final quarter of 1846. The female names on the same page are Ann Brown, Sarah Godwin, Elizabeth Lownds and Caroline Frances Nevitt. The location of the marriage is given as Stafford.
FreeBMD records the marriage of a John Audley Anslow Bridgnorth 18 29, March 1848. One of the female names on the same page was Harriet Hill. (Why Bridgnorth and was his name John Audley Anslow?)
According to FreeBMD, a John Anslow married in Shiffnal in June 1854. The only female on the same page was an Ellen Morgan. This marriage would be most unlikely as they were already married by 1851.
Wolverhampton On-Line Archives lists the marriages of three John Anslows at St Giles, Wllenhall but the transcripts only go to 1839.

Hi
Good to hear from you so quickly.
I have been looking at the marriages of John Anslow about the time you are interested in. I am looking for the parents of the John (H)Anslow who married Emma Banks 1845 at Rushall. So far have not had a break through but in the meantime I have found some information that would help you.
At first I was sceptical about differnt spellings of the surname but having found the same perosn listed under different spellings I have come to accept. One has to remember that at this time many of the people were illiterate and they did have a broad accent!
In my family history Peter Hanslow who came to Australia was recorded as 'Onslow' in the 1825 NSW census and bought land at Lane Cove and it was registered under 'D'Angelo'.
John Anslow in the final quarter 1846 married Sarah Godwin.
John Anslow who married Harriett Whittle was a stone miner ( niece stayed with them in one census)
I believe that your John is that one who married Harriett Turner in the Jun 1845 quarter.( Walsall) - under Hanslow. I live in Australia but have a friend/cousin who looks things up for me. She checked that marriage licence and the father's name was John.
I believe that your John was the one who was born at Church Eaton 30 August 1821 with father John and mother Sarah.
I believe the parents to be John of Bradley (bapt 2 June 1793) and Sarah Holt of Church Eaton ( bapt 20 Aug 1800) who married 27 December 1819 at Church Eaton.
I have not sighted original documents but from IGI and census I have the baptisms of their children as:-
1820 Mar 6 - Sarah at Church Eaton
1821 Aug 30 - John at Church Eaton
1824 - Thomas at Penkridge (census and IGI)
1826 June 25 - Margaret at Codsall
1836 June 19 William at Bushbury
1840 Ann at Willenhall (from census)
1842 Henry from census ( from census)
John's brothers Thomas, William and Henry were all locksmiths or padlock makers or rimlock makers. They all lived in either John Street or around the corner at Hall street. John of Bradley and your John were in John Street in 61/71/census. So I think you John was of this family.
Hope that this has helped. Let me know if you have any questions.
Judith

Hello Judith,
Thanks for your very detailed email and my apologies for my delay in replying. I've been away for a few days and arrived back late last night.
Please give me a couple of days to look at the information and I'll write again.
Regards
Andrew

1836 June 19 William at Bushbury
1840 Ann at Willenhall (from census)
1842 Henry from census ( from census)
John's brothers Thomas, William and Henry were all locksmiths or padlock makers or rimlock makers. They all lived in either John Street or around the corner at Hall street. John of Bradley and your John were in John Street in 61/71/census. So I think you John was of this family.
I must agree with your comments about the spelling of people's surnames. Even now, my own surname is spelt in a variety of ways in current documents!! I had been looking at variations of Anslow(e) and Onslow(e) but must admit I hadn't thought of Hanslow. Another avenue to explore (sigh!).
I'm still stuck with John Anslow. My great grandmother was Harriet Anslow, who married Joseph Rowley in January 1869. On their marriage certificate, her father was recorded as John Anslow, a locksmith. Assuming I have the correct census records, Harriet can be found in the 1861 Census (RG9/1999 folio 120 page 10 schedule 59) as the daughter of John Anslow, aged 9 and born in Willenhall, Staffordshire. The family was living in Hall Street, Willenhall at the time of the Census. John is recorded as aged 39 and born in Willenhall in that entry.
Harriet also appears in the 1851 Census, 4 months and born in Willenhall. The address is given as 64 Union Street, Willenhall. (HO107/2020 folio 466 page 18 schedule 64) This time, John is recorded as aged 26 and born in Church (Down?), Staffordshire.
That I have John and his family living in Hall Street in the 1861 Census whereas you believe they were in John Street is worrying, I need to find time to investigate the Census data again as well as visiting the archives.
I'll let you know what I find.
Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew
Sorry about the error in addresses
Re John and Harriett.
I have Harriett consistently from Willenhall.
John's place of birth differs in different years
1851 Churchcham ( I think a mistranscript of Church eaton - the writing is quite difficult to read.)
1861 Willenhall
1871 Church Eaton
1881 Willenhall.
Makes it so difficult to sort things out when they change their stories!
With the addresses for John and Harriett
1851 64 Union Street about 3 street from John Street
1861 1 Hall street. Hall street is a little one block street that buts into John Street which is itself only 2 block slong. So he would have been on the corner or one house removed from the corner of Hall and John.
1871 23 John Street
1881 4 John Street
With John and Sarah, John is consistently from Bradley and Sarah is consistently from Church Eaton.
with the addresses of John and Sarah
1851 John Street (no number given)
1861 John Street (no number given)
1871 10 John Street
John died 4 September 1871- living at 42 Meeting street.

Hi Andrew
Haven't used rootchat for a while so hope this works.
Just to add a twig to your branch.
I am still researching the parents of John (H)Anslow who married Emma Banks - not there yet - but during the research I found a death that could be of interest to you.
The death for John Anslow on 11 April 1849 at Willenhall was a male ; 2 years; son of John Anslow Locksmith; pneumonia - 3 weeks; the informant was Sarah Anslow ( that would be grandmother). So this would be son of John and Harriett Turner. John being the son of John and Sarah Holt.
Hope your research is going well
Judith
