Have you checked out your library/local history library/records office for trade directories for the area?
Good luck

Dear Bridget
Don't know precisely, but have just looked at my copy of Jacobean Recusant Rolls for Middlesex from 1603 to 1625, and can't see any children mentioned.  However, the age of criminal responsibility was probably much lower then, so it probably depends what you mean by child.

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: burial lookup

Dear Spall
A bit late - but Stapenhill Cemetery is the most likely place of burial.  Unless she was cremated and her ashes scattered somewhere else.

Please don't forget the Museum at Hanley - a marvellous collection of pottery there.

Dear China
Thanks very much for the dating advice.  It has certainly thinned down the number of possibilities - probably Baston children, but might be Wiltshire.  I don't suppose I'll ever be able to prove anything definitely, but you never know.
And thank you Carolyn for your work - it is very kind of you.
I really do appreciate everyone's help - again thank you very much.

Dear Prue, Jim and China.
Ah, ambrotypes it is then.  Thank you very much for the date as well.  Are you saying then that they could even be late 50s?  I flipped when I saw them two days ago.  I have them on long loan along with lots of other photos from my sister in law, and hardly know where to start.  These two photos, though, are small and hinged together in a little leather case with a clasp.  They look like a small leather book when closed - so beautiful!  Nothing on them to say who the photographer was, though.
And thank you Sylvia for your hard work - they look great.
Again, thanks everyone for your help.

Dear All
Is there any possibility you could tidy these little girls up?  And provide me with a date?  They are tintypes - I think possibly about the 1860s but an educated date might enable me to work out who they are.
Many thanks.

Dear Carol
Thank you very much for the PDF file - it is really interesting and really adds to my knowledge of the Bastons.  I really appreciate the help you have given me.
Best wishes
