I have discovered that the mill at Blythe Bridge was re-built in 1823. A mill on the site was previously owned by a Richard Stonier, and left in his will with "the House and yard thereunto belonging the Mill Dam Dockyard pingle and Gravelly Bank"  to his son William. William was declared bankrupt in 1822, which presumably means the mill was sold to cover his debts, and the purchaser rebuilt it in its current Gothic style.

Neither the 1769 Yates map of Staffordshire, nor the earliest OS map I can find (25 inch 1882) show any of the named features. The also seems to be a dearth of information about the older mill.

Are there any maps c1822 that might show the features listed in Richard's will? And what is a "pingle".

The will also mentions "Mills", plural. Was there ever more than one mill on the site? The will is online on FindMyPast.

Any help is appreciated.

I am looking for any historical information about two corn mills, the Adderley Mill, located on the river Tean to the north-west of Cheadle, and the Cheadle Corn Mill, on the Cicelley Brook/Cheadlemill Brook to the south-east of Cheadle. I am specifically intererested in the history of the mills before 1800. Any help, or suggestions where to go for this information gratefully received.

Can't quite make out all of this, but I think it's a burial. The transcription just has 1610 Aug. 18 Thomas Dovy sep. "sep" I assume is short for sepultra/sepultrae.

I'm researching the Dovey family, and in particular the ancestors of John Dovey, born 22 October 1769 in Chelmarsh. So far I've gone back 7 generations from John to a Wyllam Dovey and his wife Jane. In the process, I have come across children and grandchildren of Wyllam born in Quatford. I can't help but notice that register images on FindMyPast seem to have entries crossed through in red, e.g. the one here:

I've attached a clip. The question is why are the entries crossed through? And a second question, are there any printed transcriptions of the Quatford registers available online? I've found Chelmarsh and Sidbury and some others, but not Quatford.

I'm looking at an 1885 25" OS map on the NLS site, and each field on the map is numbered. On an 1875 will I have a reference to a "patch of land at Homer in the parish of Much Wenlock which I call Derricutts patch." Any ideas as to how I can match Derricutts Patch with a specific field or fields?
