Derbyshire / Re: Searching for my Great-Grandmother's Birth...
« on: Wednesday 21 August 19 06:43 BST (UK)  »
Will be interested to know if you find much detail from the records as my grandmother's sister had a daughter at the Mrs MacAlpine home in Manchester, in similar circumstances in 1904. Sadly the child died a year later. The father is unknown and the birth was away from the home town of Derby.

Staffordshire / Re: where is leakshead?

Hi Maggie May
Could be Lickshead, near Alton, Staffordshire where my Critchlow family come from. What is the name of the family you are researching there?
Best wishes

Staffordshire / Re: Samuel Holmes b1789 Ellastone

Hi Rosie
Thanks for your reply. The reason I was looking at the 1804 marriage is, this is the one a fellow researcher who matched DNA, had in their tree and who, supposedly descended from Samuel and Hannah's son John Holmes 1809-1885.
 Maybe both their ancestor Samuel who married Hannah Woodings and my 4 x great grandfather born 1795-1797 were not children of Rowland and Hannah.
My John Holmes married Mary Critchlow in 1820
Thanks for trying to help

Staffordshire / Samuel Holmes b1789 Ellastone
« on: Friday 09 November 18 07:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help or perhaps make suggestions.
Samuel Holmes born 1879 in Ellastone to Rowland Holmes and Jane Whieldon could be the brother of my 4 x great grandfather John Holmes b abt 1795. Descendants have a DNA match. I am trying to prove who John's parents were
The problem is that Samuel appears to have married at the age of 15 to Hannah Woodings in 1804 in Hanbury Staffs. Is there a possibility this could have happened? If not then who was the Samuel Holmes that married in 1804.
Thanks in advance for any help
Sue

Hi Sarah have you managed to to get to the Ipstones churchyard yet. It is such a lovely place set in the country . I go there every visit I make back to the UK as have grandparents buried there.
Some of the graves have been neglected due to their age and a few of the headstones are starting to fall over as well. Who are looking for in there? It may also pay you to check the Foxt church yard as well . As being a small community area there could also be ancestors in there as well as i found some of my own in there. Also just up the road from the Foxt churchyard you will find the site of the old church which has now been pulled down and where it stood is a plaque set in the stone wall telling you it was the site of the old church. One of my ancestors was a preacher there in the 1800's .Also round the corner from the Ipstones churchyard is a little dairy and along from this dairy is the Ipstones church hall. The people in there are so friendly and they made us a cup of tea and something to eat and they can help you with any info you may wish to find about your ancestors they have computers set up in there to help you.
hope this all helps. by now you probably have been over there but you will know for future reference
cheers maggie

Hi Maggie
I have just seen your post about IPSTONES and of particular interest is the plaque photo.
Have you anymore details. Is it close to the church. My ancestors were the Critchlow family and were I think We're instigators of the Primitive Methodist church in the area.
Many thanks

Hi
Thanks for that. Yes I had sorted it out now but its very interesting to look at the now and then maps
John CRITCHLOW b1806 was my 4 x great uncle.
Am gradually filling in the tree but there are so many CRITCHLOWs in the area
Best Wishes

Many thanks for your help. It's beginning to fall into place now. I think Mary's parents were probably John Critchlow and Mary Riley who married in Alton in 1799. She did marry John Holmes. I now need to find out who witness Hannah Critchlow was.

Staffordshire / Lix Head / Six Head CRITCHLOW
« on: Monday 02 April 18 07:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Has anyone any knowledge of this area? I'm trying to work out my Critchlow ancestors. My 3 x great grandmother Mary Critchlow is stated in the 1851 census as being born in ????Head in about 1800.
I have found a lot of Critchlow families in the Alton and Farley area and wondered how big Lix Head was.
Many thanks
Sue
