"Thackers (or "Hackers") Birches", Tettenhall Wood
« on: Sunday 14 January 18 13:42 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find the location of a parcel of land called "Thackers Birches" (or possibly "Hackers Birches"), mentioned in a will dated 1854. It may have been contiguous with another area of land called "Horsehills" on the Compton Road.

Anyone with local knowledge able to help?

Hi not a local, but I can locate a Horsehills Toll and Horsehill Farm which were along the Compton Road?

A Henry Granger of Wombourne and Tettenhall Wood left an estate called "Thacker's Birches and Horse Hills" in July 1856.

Indeed he did, but the bequest failed. I'm trying to find out where "Thackers/Hackers Birches" was.

Agreed he failed - I had checked the article for a possible clue to the location but nothing.
