Cheshire / Henry Peake/Louisa Sadler
« on: Friday 22 November 19 08:57 GMT (UK)  »
Married in 1890 after having at least five children of which my grandmother was the youngest. They had described themselves as man and wife in censuses, children's birth certificates etc up to that time. Henry was born at Davenport, Cheshire but moved to Derby as a young man - Louisa was born in Quarndon, Derby. I am wondering whether either was already married which prevented their marriage previously. Does anyone have any information about either of them please?

Cheshire / Garden Street, Macclesfield
« on: Tuesday 19 November 19 15:27 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find the inhabitants of no 71 Garden Street, Macclesfield in the 1891 census.  I have found nos 1-55 Garden Street in the parish of Hurdsfield but the remaining numbers do not appear there and I am wondering if that part of Garden Street lay in a different parish. (Google Street View shows that no 71 still exists).  Can anyone help me please?

Staffordshire / Whitehouse/Taylor Rocester
« on: Sunday 15 January 17 17:22 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have any information about the family calling itself Whitehouse and/or Taylor in Rocester at various points during the nineteenth century please?  I am intrigued as to why they would switch their name backwards and forwards in various census, births, deaths etc.  They are ancestors of my wife.   ???

Can anyone tell me please if the building on the corner of John Dalton Street and Cross Street now occupied by Betfred was once a pub?  If so, where might I find information about it?

Shropshire / Can anyone identify this church please?
« on: Saturday 03 January 15 12:07 GMT (UK)  »
The attached photo shows my late father-in-law, Thomas Gilbert, and a colleague who were stonemasons employed by a company based in Uttoxeter.  I think the church will be in Staffordshire or possibly the adjoining parts of Shropshire or Cheshire.  I would very much like to know where it was taken.  Many thanks for having a look. :)
