Staffordshire / Burslem Cemetery
« on: Friday 05 April 19 14:36 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had a grave map for Burslem cemetery. I've found a grave on the Staffordshire Burial Indexes in which is buried 3 members of my family. I have a grave reference from the website, does anyone know how I can find whereabouts it is located in the cemetery based on this reference? I have visited many years ago but I had no idea where they were at that time (and the cemetery is huge) so I found nothing. I'm not local anymore, so its not as easy for me to get to it. I'm not expecting a headstone, but I'd like to know whereabouts they are so that when I'm next over I can pop in and say hello
Many thanks

Hi Valerie,
I really hope that you see this message, I know its been a while since you sent yours. Shortly after the initial thread regarding the churchyard at Ipstones and my plans to get over to visit, my father suddenly passed away, followed by my brother and mother-in-law, all within 18 months, so it all fell by the wayside. I've just started to pick it up again and try to pick up where I left off, so this evening is the first time that I've been on here for a while. Thank you for getting in touch and how interesting that we share the Gould link. Yes, I have Esther Gould and John Lane in my tree. I am descended from Esther's brother George Bowers Gould, who married Elizabeth Blore. Thank you for the grave inscription, I wonder if the headstone is still there 12 years later?

Hi Chris,
Wow, thank you so much for that information.The Keziah Gould and David Gould graves are of my GG grandmother's brother and sister ( they were Keziah and George's children)
Very interesting regarding the Bloor's, and I'm sure it'll fit in somewhere, but its a matter of figuring it out now. I know my Elizabeth Bloor (who became a Gould) named John as her father on her marriage certificate, and it the marriage was witnessed by a Phoebe!
I am over the moon that you've found these graves, thank you so much! I wish I could return the favour!

Hi everyone,
I hope you're feeling better Chris! Maggie is right, health first! Not the best weather to be wandering around churchyards either.
Thanks for the info regarding the Bloor society. I had a look at their website and they meet a few miles away from my parent's house (I grew up in Stoke-on-Trent). I'll certainly be dropping into one of their sessions, I know very little about that line - it might just be that magical breakthrough that I need
On a separate note Chris, I see that you have Lawton's in your line. I also have a Lawton line in Stoke-on-Trent (from the Keele and Audley areas). Maybe we share a link?

« on: Thursday 22 October 15 21:35 BST (UK) »Hi Sarah,
Sorry have not been in touch but had a few days away.
I am not going back to Ipstones till my next visit end of July next year. I was going to say to you some one may read your question and offer some help if live in the area and low behold chris has so hopefully you will find your ancestors resting places.
I have had a look at Alf Beards site again and he never got round to adding more names to churchyards. He knew about my grandparents (Joseph and Hannah Birch ) who are buried in Ipstones and he was going to record them but sadly never did .
Anyway as I said checked a couple of places and have found a Louisa Gould 1874 in Ipstones this may be one of your Gould's also looked at St Giles Cheadle and a few Bower's there, and St John and St Peters in Alton also have some buried there. There could be a connection with them as well so when you visit these places may be worth a look at even Chris may be able to do this for you. I have always found people on this site so helpful in the past. Funny thing is found no Gould's but it does not mean they are not there as I said Alf never recorded every grave in churchyards.
Have an item I hope to attach to this which is interesting .
Cheers
Maggie
Hi Maggie,
I've certainly found Alf's site very useful in recent years, though I too have found graves that were missing from the site. It's fabulous that he took the time to do what he did though, and I would certainly be happy to look around churchyards local to myself for people who couldn't get to the area, you can get so much information from a headstone (my husband thinks I'm weird for the amount of time I've spent wandering around churchyards at weekends lol). The Louisa Gould find is interesting and one I'll have a look into. I'm itching to get over there and have a look around for myself!

« on: Thursday 22 October 15 21:25 BST (UK) »Hi Sarah , could not get the attachment to work so suggest you Google Joseph Gould from Grindon Staffordshire 1874- 1941.
There is a tree here also photos worth checking out.
This would be something if your lot, wouldn't it. !!!!
Cheers
Maggie
Hi Maggie,
I won't get my hopes up, but it would be amazing 😀.
I'll have a look, thanks for the information!

I live just a few miles from Ipstones and as you haven't managed to get there yet I am happy to go and have a look around the graves for you. Ipstones is a lovely little village in a very pretty area. If you send me any details you have I will have a look and see if I can find anything.
Chris
Hi Chris,
That is such a kind offer, thank you so much! I'm primarily looking for a George Gould who was buried there in Nov 1869 and his wife Keziah Gould, buried May 1861, but I'm interested in any Gould, Bowers or Blore/Bloor graves. I will get over there eventually, but I have 2 young children so it's difficult at the moment. Thank you again for your offer, it is very much appreciated,

Staffordshire / Colcloughs of Goldenhill
« on: Thursday 15 October 15 12:37 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I'm currently researching my direct line of Colclough family of Goldenhill. I am interested in delving deeper into Colcloughs. I am aware of Anthony Colclough who served under Henry VIII and was awarded land in Co. Wexford, but I am interested in the Colcloughs who remained in Staffordshire. I have read somewhere that they owned a mill in Little Chell (approx 1500's), and there was a Manor House somewhere between Goldenhill and Tunstall. There are also the likes of Colclough Lane and Colclough Farm still in Goldenhill. They were obviously an influential family in the area and I am of course interested to see where/if my line fits into this somewhere. Has anyone done any research into the family or could point me in the right direction of any literature on the subject? Many thanks in advance,
Sarah
