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 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.

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.
