[Al in Vane]

Lookup request for Margaret Edwards and family believed to be a servant at Marple Hall near Stockport also possibly there in 1841. All details of those at the Hall would be appreciated if indeed she is there.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the info. which I feel is the right family as the age of Margaret is about right and also her son Thomas. (she was born in Staffs so 'out of county' is correct. She came to the Bedworth area with one of  the Isherwoods who lived at Marple Hall and is described as servant when as a widow she married my Grandfather x5 at Bedworth Warwickshire. Her son came with her.
many thanks for your help which has thrown tremendous light on this aspect of my research.
Many Thanks, Al in Vane
