Gosling, Johnson and Marsland: Hazel Grove

[Manchester Rambler]

Is anyone else researching these families in the Hazel Grove area?  Several were connected to the silk weaving trade until it all went pear-shaped due to cheap imports post-1850.  My bunch were Methodists, and some at least attended Bullock Smithy Methodist chapel.  Does anyone know where they might have worshipped before the BS chapel was founded?

I don't suppose you've come across the Weaving family in Hazel Grove?
  Come to a complete standstill with them.
              Last one is Jack Weaving 1918/20 Stockport.

No Weavings linked to my family at present, but I'll look out for them - Like you, I'm stuck on these lines until I can get hold of parish records.

I have a Fred Gosling m Ann Williamson - no actual dates.

Estimate on time frame - born 1870-1880 married in the early 1900's.

Stockport features in Williamson's lineage from the early C19th

No obvious link to my family, I'm afraid - in a branch I haven't been able to connect, there's a Fred Gosling b Stockport 1889 (son of Walter Gosling and Margaret née Magee), but that's probably a bit late for yours.

Thanks for that. 

Faster than a speeding bullet - I have seeking the DOM info on and off for months! Not expected - so thank you.

Thanks for that site, MR, there's a few more Weaving's to add to my list.

  The coincidences in this line is really spooky....

I've just started researching the Marsland family tree. My Nana, Lucy Marsland was from Hazel Grove in Stockport. I managed to get alot of names from her before she sadly passed away so I've got a good ground base to start on if you want to compare notes? Kat

My direct link to the Marslands is Alice MARSLAND, b. c1783 in Bosden (now Hazel Grove) - she married Thomas JOHNSON at St Mary's Cheadle on 2 Jan 1803, and was buried in St Thomas Norbury churchyard on 7 Sep 1854.

I haven't been able to take Alice's line any further back unfortunately - does she tie in with your family anywhere?
