Hi Sharmar!
Our ancestor William Taylor was born in Dawley Magna in 1793. In the 1861 census he is living at Lower Lightmoor, married to Hannah (previously wife of James Davis, born Hannah Baugh, daur of Samuel Baugh).
I have lots of data through the censuses and the IGI index...but just wanted to know if there were any other people in Dawley looking at these names.

Hiya
Lightmoor is still here, just a small place mainly woodland and the railway went through it (not no more) and no houses, yet! There is a fairly big estate being built nearby and rumour has it they want to head towards Lightmoor, shame really.
Baugh and Davis are name that are still in Dawley.

Hi Cardiff
All the areas you mentioned are a spit away from one another, unfortunately though most of the names you have mentioned are not as common as they once were.
The are still alot of old houses in the area (not as much as there once was, but there are quiet a few gems still standing) do you have any addresses? I could find out if they are still standing for you if you wish, the areas you mentioned, except Wenlock, are on the route I walk my dogs so I wouldn't be going out of my way.
The same applies to you too scriv2.

Thank you, that's very kind of you.
My addresses are a bit vague though...Rough Park in 1841 census, then Park Lane, Lightmoor (that's all it says in the 1851 census) and then Lower Lightmoor in 1861.
That's all I have so far, pity no street addresses.

Hi scriv2
Right now Rough Park also known as Rough Ground was exactly that, my Nan grew up there and she's 82 now and my mom can remember it but I don't know exactly when it was bull dozed probably in the 60's because thats when they bull dozed everything round here. Typical one up one down worker cottages in terraces which is how I think it would have been in the 1840's. The B4373 now runs through it!!!
Park Lane - is still there in a fashion!!!! no surviving houses from 1851 just several 1930's dormer bungalows. There is an old factory building but sure of construction it does look 1800's though. It is just off the Rough Ground and the B4373 also runs through it cutting it in half!
Lightmoor and lower lightmoor - not much there now, one or two very old houses dotted about.

Hi Cardiff
We have a lot of old houses in the Dawley area, the one I was raised in and my parents still live in, is getting on for 200 years old and there are 2 whole rows of them!! I recently found out that a ancestor of mine lived 2 houses down in 1861!!! A lot of houses leading down to Dawley high street and indeed the high street its self are older still.
As for Pool Hill there are 2 very old houses including one that used to be a coach house and I think it is up for sale!!!
Little Dawley had one of the oldest (wattle and daub) houses in the area including a ghost!!! but it was taken down and rebuilt in our local museum (Blists Hill Open air Museum), but there is still some fine old cottages. Little Dawley did not have a parish church but a chapel (that has now been converted to apartments). The main Church for that area was Holy Trinity, also very old and is built on the site of a norman church, this sits on the border of Dawley and Little Dawley and is still in use have some fine old monuments.

Hi Cardiff
I would recommend the museum if you are interested in our industrial past, I must warn you though we are under going a transformation in the surrounding areas at the moment and a lot of building work is going on (much to my annoyance, liked it how it was before) but we do have one or two little gems, so if you do visit I hope you area pleasantly surprised!!!

I read your messages about Dawley. I am interested in this area. Have you heard of a place called The Hem. Is it close to Dawley.
The families I am researching are Jones, Dunning, Bayley (Bailey) and Callear. Do these names mean anything to someone.
