Hi Ellie,
I have lived in Stoke, now in Newcastle...and Zen, I've worked in the Pots but don't think I am a True Potter......just an 'imigrant' from Coventry.....got my passport to here in 1975 so perhaps on the way!!!!! but happily married to a true Stokie!

Ellie...  I notice you have Birks and Burgess.....my wife has connections with them in the Longton area together with Jervis, Holmes and Downs.....perhaps one day we will all meet up!

Hi

Normacot, Longton was a bit of a dump but brings back lots of good times and memories.

So far I have traced my Potter ancestors back to 1734. More or less in the same area, apart from a stint at Herculanium in Liverpool.
