Hi, everyone who is searching for info on the Fradley Family History.

We are hoping to spend a day in Stone soon.  As we haven't been there before, we would like to visit several different places eg

The Canal
Churches/graveyards
Museum or Library
Archives
Places where family members may have lived or worked.

As we will only be there for the day, on this occasion, can anyone recommend the best places to see in such a short visit?

Thanks, A & B

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone else has been to the Boat Museum at Ellesmere Port?

We only had a quick look at the weekend, but will be going again soon.  We were very interested to see the 4 restored cottages which were no's 9, 10, 11 & 12 Potters Row.  What caught our attention, however, was the board outside the cottages which said that 6 members of the "HARRISON" family lived at no 8, until it was demolished in 1960.

We are going to see if we can find out the names of these 6 people, to see if they are connected to Eliza Jane Fradley nee Harrison, whose son was living in the next street, on the day he got married, presumably with his parents.

Thanks for reading
A & B

Hi, Kerry

Thanks for replying to our first post.

We have looked at your website. It's great!

Your info seems to confirm what we have so far. I have been looking at replies 152,153, 154 & 157.  I need to write some of the info down, so that i can see it all at once.

We are trying to collect photos of people, gravestones, canals, and places where they used to live.  We are only looking at the one surname so far. :)

Found the 2 roads where Charles & his wife were living on the day they got married. It is next to Ellesmere Port Boat Museum. We are going to look round the museum asap.

Thanks Bev

Hi, everyone out there with connections to the FRADLEY family.  My husband and I started to research his family tree in September 2009, and up to now have been progressing slowly.

His Grandfather, who he never met, was Charles Fradley, born in Odd Rode in 1891, to John Fradley & Eliza Jane Fradley (formerly Harrison), who married in 1880.

We discovered Roots Chat quite by accident on Sunday, after we got back from our first ever visit to Odd Rode.

We have a Birth Certificate for a John Fradley, born in 1859, to Benjamin Fradley & Ann Fradley (formerly Stanworth), and also some info from the Census in 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 & 1901.  As there seem to be so many Benjamin's & John's, we have been unsure if we are following this info correctly.

We are both really excited by the Posts we have been reading from the following people:

KERRY 1212, ANN COOPER, JANET SMITH, TONY1439, LINDARHEAD,VALIGENE

We have never seen photos of my husband's grandparents, let alone anyone who came before that.

I hope that, with your help, we will be able to find out a lot more.

Thanks, a lot.

A & B
