Thanks a lot for your trouble. I did not know any of the information you sent me. Yes, I would like to know the rest, but to save you the trouble of typing it, how about sending me the address of the web site and I will find it for myself.

I couldn't find the exact reference you mentioned, but on about page 13 I did find some information about methodism and Thomas Higginson. It shows that perseverance shows results (I have googled Little Luddington Farm several times, but have not scrolled through all the pages). I have certainly found something which I did not know before. Thanks a lot for your trouble.

Yes, I do know a little. He was born in 1876 in Milton Village, Staffordshire (parents James and Ann Higginson). He was living in Lily Street, Wolstanton in 1881, in Walton, Eccleshall in 1891 and in Brookvale Cottage, Denby according to the 1901 census and was working at the ironworks. I believe he was married amd had children, but so far I have not identified his wife. There are several possible matches in Free BMD. His father died at Little Luddington Farm in 1910 and his sister gave the farm as her address when she married in 1911. I believe he was still at the farm in the 1920s.

My great uncle Thomas Higginson lived at Little Luddington Farm, Luddington  in and around 1910. Does anyone know anything about him, his family or the farm? I have located it on a map and read the current parish plan, but that is all. He moved there after the 1901 census.

London and Middlesex / Re: F W Tickner

Thanks. I had found him in the 1881 census and the 1901 census but not the 1891 census. His wife attended Southlands College in Battersea which probably means that they met at college in London.

London and Middlesex / F W Tickner

Frederick Tickner was a schoolteacher and an historian. He married my great aunt Mary in Brighton in 1899, was living in Brighton according to the 1901 census and at some time after this moved to Askew Road, Northwood, Middlesex. Does anyone have any knowledge of him or his family? Which school/s did he teach at?

Warwickshire / Wesleyan Chapel Stratford upon Avon
« on: Tuesday 21 August 07 12:30 BST (UK)  »
My grandparents were married in the Wesleyan Chapel, Birmingham Road, Stratford upon Avon. I am looking for a photograph and/or details of the building. Is the chapel still standing? Can anyone locate it on a map (I can use grid references).
I have looked everywhere I can think of without any luck.

Cheshire / Anne Chesters
« on: Monday 30 July 07 17:03 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me anything about Anne / Annie Chesters.
She appears in the 1871 census living with Joseph and Jane Hulme in Pepper Street, Middlewich, described as 'nurse child'. She is still there in 1881 and is decribed as 'general servant'. She is still with the same family in 1891 in Wheelock Road Sandbach, and in 1901 is still with the same family in Crewe Road, Sandbach, described as a boarder and working at the silk mill. She was born in Minshull Vernon c. 1868. No-one seems to know who she was. We are all puzzled.
