I've been researching the above topic and am particularly keen to hear from anyone with a working knowledge of the BROOKS, NIXON & BAILEY surnames of Biddulph Moor in North Staffordshire.

I am trying to link these families to those of Middleton by Wirksworth in Derbyshire - all three names are associated via an unusual DNA haplogroup in MbyW and the only place I've ever encountered these surnames so prominently in close proximity is here at Biddulph Moor.

The DNA link is particularly relevant as the Hg in question is an predominantly African DNA.....hence my interest in the legend of the Black men of the area and the Crusade origin - as the date of the crusade in question links nicely too - I suspect there may be more than a coincidental link.

If anyone is connected to these surnames in this place and especially if you were a part of a BBC DNA research programme some years ago please contact me.

Hi

Is anyone researching either the Hinchcliffe family from Dartford (particularly Charles Herbert 1882) and the Langley family from Hythe (particularly Annie 1876 - born in India and working as a teacher in 1901) - also (possibly....their son Herbert 1899)?

Id be interested to connect with anyone connected to or researching these families.

Regards

Hi,

I'm hoping to hear from anyone who can expand on this chap or lead me to his family.

This link takes you to a press cutting about Herbert Hinchcliffe born in 1903 - I don't know where he was born but from the cutting I know he was working and living in Grays as a lacquer operator in June 1946; perhaps someone knows what this job involved and whether I might be able to identify where he was employed in Grays from that.

Any help in identifying him or his family would be greatly appreciated

Hi

Hoping to find someone researching either the Hinchcliffe/Hinchliffe and Newnham family in Hailsham. I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone with knowledge of a marriage between Herbert W Hinchcliffe and Elizabeth J Newnham in 1945
