Hi - I've looked again and can't make a connection as yet. 

You may have a similar tree as ours goes back to the Doomsday Book.

If I make any progress I will let you know.

Hi Maggie,

I see that see that your Edward is my Rebecca's brother. Will have to get hubby to work out the relationship of me to your hubby as I get lost!

It is late now but will plod on tomorrow.

Is there a way you would kindly let me have a copy of the tree? You certainly can have all that I have got so far.

I have only got as far as Ralph Boone marrying Mary?
Who had Lazarus 4-4-1681 who married Hannah?
Who had Joseph Boon 174 who married Deborah Glass.
Who had Edward Boon who married my Rebecca Mayer.

On Rebecca's side I go only as far back as John Mare 1729 married Rebecca Smith and Daniel Edwards and Jane? no date

For the Joseph Mayer when we connect, I have got that to 10 something .

I have been researching for about 7 years and it is about time I had a breakthrough!!

Kind Regards,
Patricia

Hi Patricia
At the moment what I have is in such bad condition it would not be possible to copy.  It has three different parts and in total is about 8' by 5'.  It was copied from a handwritten original and the A4 copies were stuck together with tape.  The copied handwriting was never clear and the copies have come unstuck.  As well as that the roll has been mistreated so parts of the sheets are actually missing.  Having said that I am hoping to reassemble what I have. 

Time is the problem as I am currently researching both our families and speaking to our living relatives - who are mostly in their eighties and nineties.  I have your direct email and will keep in touch if I make progress and you are quite welcome to email me. 

Best wishes
Maggie

Hi - I'm afraid I haven't had time to dismantle and start scanning.  My husband is an illustrator and I have been typing up text.  I finished it today so will try and get back to you as soon as I can.  I will also try and find out if anyone in the family knows the connection with the Liverpool Joseph Mayer.

Best wishes

I am looking for Anne Mare, daughter of John Mare of Wolstanton.  Anne married Joseph Adams of Lower Street, Newcastle, Fields House, Keele and Onecote, County Stafford.    Joseph became Mayor of Newcastle c.1794, and he died c.1830.  I have no other information on Anne, other than I think she died c.1836.

Any information on Anne would be appreciated.

Update.
John Mear (9 04 1738) married Sarah Whalley 23.08.1766 Wolstanton
They had Samuel 21 07 1767 who married Margaret Pepper.
Samuel had Joseph Mayer b. 1802 Known as Joseph Mayer of Liverpool

Trying to connect Elijah Mayer 1717-1790, the potter, to Joseph. His father was called John Mare but that John was born 1687 and married Hannah Edwards.

I know there must be a connection as they came from High Carr, Wolstanton and Joseph's brothers took over Dale Hall Pottery sometime after Elijah's death.
On a handwritten tree by Jane Mayer, Joseph's sister, is mentioned Elijah Mayer (jnr) marrying a Jane and having another Joseph 1775 and says Amsterdam.
Help! Been trying to connect these two families for nearly 5 years!!

The tree I have shows that Ann had 13 siblings - William, Jane, John, Hugh, Obidah, Stephen, Richard, Daniel, Deborah, Mary, Frances, Rebecca and Sarah.  Her father was John Mare (brother of Elijah Mayer snr) and her mother Mary Palmer.  The tree then shows the generations back to 1050.  I have given the spellings as shown on the tree.
I hope this helps. 
Maggie
