Lightly/Leightley Hill, Sandbach.
« on: Wednesday 02 July 08 21:05 BST (UK) »

Hi,

Lightly or Leightley Hill, Sandbach.  Doe anyone know what part of Sandbach this might be?  I can not find any maps with it on and I think I might have had ancestors there (Parrotts) 300 years ago.

Thanks

Nick.

Ettiley Heath?

Celia,

Earlier today I found out that Lightly Hill Farm was at the junction of Hind Heath Lane and Crewe Road near Wheelock.

There is now a modern hosuing estate there.  One of the roads is called 'Lightly Close'.

Regards, Nick.

Nick,
One of my ancestors was Peter Clarke who married Sarah Isabella Spencer and farmed Lightley Hill Farm in the 1850's and 1860's. They got Rinderpest disease in their cattle which almost wiped them out and they emigrated to Australia in 1866.

For any of my possible fellow descendants or anyone else who is interested in Lightly Hill.  I attach the source of my original interest.  I have been unable to add as much as I would have liked because of the file size limit, however, it is taken from page 23 of 'The history of the ancient Parish of Sandbach, Co. Chester: including the chapelries of Holmes Chapel and Goostery'.  It was published in1890 and the full text is available on a well known genealogy pay site (or probably free from your local Cheshire Library).

Regards, Nick
