Wolstanton records

[GAYNOR WILKINSON]

Willaim and Gaie

Thanks for your help both of you.

Elsie May seems to be a popular name of the time in Staffordshire.

I will send for the marriage cert and let you know the outcome.

Regards,
Gaynor

Hello, Am new to this chat so sorry if I am in the wrong place!
I am tracing the Mayers/Meres of Wolstanton and Norton Le Moors.

Elijah Mayer 1717-1790 the potter who was my grandfather x5 and the Mayers of Newcastle, High Carr,particularly Joseph Mayer ,1803-1886 whose father was Samuel ,and Margaret Pepper.

Any help much appreciated. I am sure these families are related as Joseph's brothers took over Dale Hall Pottery when Elijah died but I just cannot work out the connection.
I need a Sherlock Holmes!!

I have registered especially to send you a reply.  My husband is a descendant through his mother's line to Elijah and Rebecca (nee Jebb) Mayer.  We have a family tree so is there specific information you need?

[caerfai]

Thank you so very much for doing this for me.
How shall we compare what we have got ?

Rebecca Mayer  31-8-1740-1795  is my great grandma x4. She married Edward Boon 27-10-1760.-18-1-1779

I only have ancesters recorded. For Elijah I only have his mother, Hannah Edwards 25-5-1686-,father John Mare.1-8-1687 High Carr Wolstanton

Then John's father John Mare died 21-2-1729. His wife Rebecca Smith d. 9-9-1690

I would love to fill in the missing gaps and make this connection to Joseph Mayer of Liverpool the details of which I gave. His brothers took over Dale Hall. I know Elijah had a son called Joseph also and there was a lot of legal dealings to do with his will.

Could we compare? In the book "Joseph Mayer of Liverpool." mention is made of a connection but the author is not sure whether they shared Elijah as some great grandad or uncle.
 So exciting to have found someone else. Thank you for taking the trouble and hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Patricia

Hi - We haven't had time to check this but the line back to Elijah Mayer that we were given is this:

Elijah m Elizabeth Jebb and had 7 children - Elijah, Rebecca, John, Joseph, Joshua, William and Elizabeth.
Rebecca m Edward Boon and had 4 children - Edward, George, Elijah and Ralph
Edward m Sarah Wood and had Elizabeth b 1799
Elizabeth m Thomas Leek and had 5 children - Elizabeth, Ann, Charles, Robert and Esther.
Esther m Samuel Blood and had 5 children - Joseph, Thomas, John, James and Esther.
Esther m Richard Mayer and had 6 children - Jane, Esther J, Lilian, Richard, Doris and Hugh.
Richard, my husband's grandfather, m Hilda and they had 7 children.

I cannot see a Joseph Mayer on the tree that would match with Liverpool but I will keep checking.
Regards
Maggie

Hi Maggie, This is great.

Joseph's father was called Samuel, 1767-1835 His father was John Mear 1778.

My grandma was Eliza Mayer Boone 1888-1937. She held papers relating to Joseph Mayer of Liverpool and newspaper cuttings to do with his friendship with the Duke of Sutherland and Trentham Gardens so I am sure there is a connection. Do the dates help?

Do you have the tree for viewing?
Have you software that will import Gedcom we can send ours.
I have a family tree made by Jane mayer, Joseph's sister which I photocopied when I visted Pennant Hall, Joseph's house on the Wirral.
Thank you for your help, so close I feel to a breakthrough!

We must be related!
Kind Regards,
Patricia

I've looked at the tree but I can't see a John Mear for 1778.  Is that the right date as you have given 1767-1835 for his son Samuel.  I do think there is a connection if we can just link into the tree.

I'm afraid we have a rather large, tatty hard copy tree recently found at the in-laws and we don't have Gedcom.

Best wishes
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Sorry John Mear 9-4-1738 says see will 1823.
He married Sarah Whalley 23-8-1766 Wolstanton.

They had Samuel1767-21-7-1835 (I think) ist mayor of Newcastle 1833. He married Margaret Pepper 1773-1859 daughter of the famous John Pepper architect (Newcastle)

It looks like Samuel had a brother John 1769-1823 Bucknall. and Felix who married a Elizabeth Saunders.

Samuel and Margaret married in Bucknall 1794.

Samuel had Maria who married a Turner

Eliza who married a Wardley,

Samuel John and lots of others 10 in fact!

This is a handwritten tree by Jane , Samuel's sister.
If we can link Elijah and Samuel I have the tree which links the family to the Lords of the Manor at Norton Hall. This is William de la Mare and takes us back to Richard the Lionheart!

If any dates don't tally, check back with me as this is handwritten as I say.
Best wishes,
Patricia
