Thank you so much  yonder peasant, That is good news as the little girl was " born out of wedlock" and it seems that her mum and her husband , took her in at a later date, that is what I wanted to know.  thanks again regards Nora T.

The Lighter Side / Re: Spooky experiences while researching
« on: Wednesday 08 March 06 19:26 GMT (UK)  »
Last year  my husband and me went to Audlem  to look at the church and the cemetary, as his ggggranfather was christend there,we found a car park, then walked, for a time up a road, till we found the cemetary,  we entered through a large archway,after spending some time looking for Timmis relatives, with not much success, and being hot and tired, we decided to leave, as we were walking off, my husband started walking to the right, I said "thats not the way out, its through the arch",  any way I followed him, and went round a corner, and there he was , sitting on a bench under a tree,on the back of the bench it said, " Come sit and rest awhile with James and Dot Timmis", and just behind the bench was a little gate that lead straight into the car park,in fact our car was the one nearest the gate,we felt very peaceful and calm, and my husband said , he had felt drawn to go the way he did,it was a lovely experience.

Staffordshire / Re: Black Bank, Staffs - looking for local info
« on: Monday 20 February 06 19:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, Wheeldon, The Black Bank  I know, goes from Knutton to Alsagers Bank,it is quite a long road, and use to be  rural, but within the last 10 years it has been widened, and modernised, the only houses I can think are there now are at the top, Alsagers Bank area, Also I am researching Wilshaws, my mother in law was Emma Wilshaw, but it is quite a common name in this area so might not be the same ones,Black Bank also runs to the back of Silverdale.hope that might help a bit , regards nora T
