Just letting researchers interested in Cannock Chase area Staffs that there is a fantastic book  called " children in the twenties",written by Harry Hartill.I have a phoptocopied version of it that was sent to me by family some time ago,and they obtained it from a school in Cannock.He details families that lived in chase terrace,kids that attended Rugely road school,,chase town,East gate street,references to coal mining etc etc..the palace "picture theatre" near the uxbridge arms.
My Father ( now 84) was mentioned as living in one of the terraced houses along with his sisters and brother the "Arthrells".
Quote: The Victoria Hotel stood on the corner of the high street with a number of terraced houses occupied by the following families:
Mr & Mrs George Stanley,Hopleys,Walkers,Wilkinsons,Wilfox,Harveys,Arthrells,Beardsmores,beddows Websters and Dunns..

Not sure where to post this question.
On looking at the details I purchased from tasmania archives have noticed some of the details included on my copy  for my convict ,are of Henry Anderson.Thought i would share the info so that if you have a missing Henry he may be yours.?

Any help with tracking down James Atterall's birthdate and parentage please.He was sentenced to transportation from Lewes assizes 1834 JAN and he was 17 then,a baker and son of a baker.

anyone know if there is a way of tracing which prison hulk prisoners lived on prior to transportation?
ie Arab II 1834 left portsmouth 26 feb 1834 heading for Hobart. would all of the convicts have been placed on the same Hulk previously and if so ,any idea how to find out which one?
