Hi folks,
For my first post I'm enquiring about my ggg grandfather who was born in Rough Hill, a hamlet by Dodleston, Cheshire in 1809.
He married a welsh girl by the name of Gwynne Jones and they raised three children at Dodleston before settling in Kingswinford, Staffordshire in 1837. They had a further three daughters there, all born at the Oak Farm works, a busy industrial area at the time.
I'm obviously interested to talk to anyone who knows or has links with this family, but I seem to be getting interested in the social history and topography of the area too.
looking forward to joining in with your discussions, regards, Cocked Hat.
