Hi everybody. Just to say that I've read all the posts and found them interesting and informative.

I'm a (not very important) descendent of the Mole family and I've just begun looking into my family history so I'll be reading all the comments with great interest and it goes without saying that I'll post anything I uncover directly on to this blog. My line comes from John, a sword cutter, who was the grandson of Herman d. 1716 and the son of Johann H W who was born in 1686.

So, greetings from me and I look forward to reading and hopefully posting more stuff in the future.

Cheers

Tom Mole

Nice to see all you Mohl's are doing well.

The Ohlig/Mohl family came over from germany together :-)

I have the Oley/Ohligs on ancestry.co.uk if anyone is interested.

 Sorry I am new here, I am looking for anyone interested in the German Swordmakers of Shotley Bridge, as I am descended from John Mole and his wife Alice Mawson. I would like to exchange information on my findings with anyone working on the same family.

Kind regards

Michael

Hi,

I'm also descended from John Mohl and Alice Mawson. Their son, Matthew, born in 1790 was my great great great grandfather.

When the sword industry collapsed after the Napoleonic Wars he started up as a potter and ended up working at the famous Maling Pottery on the banks of the Ouseburn River in Newcastle. There's a whole story after that.

Matthew's cousin, Anthony Mole, also went to Newcastle and had better luck, setting up his own tailoring business.

I would be interested to know which of the sons of John and Alice you are descended from. If it's Matthew, then we have a lot in common and I have lots of information to share.

Let me know.



Cheers

Hi Tom and others,

I was just wondering I've been studying my family tree for sometime. My Grandmother is a Direct decedent to the Moule family (Her Maiden name is Moule). I know that I'm a direct decedent to a William Moule who parents were John Mole/Mohl and Deborah Worby (from Sandon), the same as your Great +++++ Grandfather who was married to Alice Mawson. However I find it confusing because some family trees tell me Deborah Worby died in 1753 if this is true how could she of had John Mole who was born in 1760.

I really want to know if I am connected to the Moll/Mohl from Solingen. I took a DNA Test to see if I had German Roots and it did say I did.

If anyone has information to see if William Mole (1753 - 1837), Parents John Mole (1724) and Deborah Worby (1729) is connected to the Moll/Mohl from Solingen I would greatly appreciate it :-)

Hi,

My husband is descended from John Mole and Alice Mawson via their son George Mole (1792-1845). I know very little about John. Does anyone know where he was baptised or buried?

Regards,

Patricia

Hi everybody. Glad to see I'm not the only Mole interested in looking for our ancestors.

To Sammye: I'll have a dive into the material I have and let you know what I come up with.

To Patricia: The records show that John was baptised in Medomsley church. He was probably buried in the church at Ebchester although I couldn't find a headstone for any Mohl/Mole in the cemetery when I visited last summer (I live in Madrid). Shotley Bridge didn't have a church so they went to Medomsley for births and weddings and Ebchester for burials. I would be interested to know which of John and Alice's children your husband is descended from. Most of the Moles, like my family, went to Newcastle when the swordmaking business collapsed.
