Hi,

There is a will for Mary Hallam showing on Ancestry - died 30 April 1867.

FindMyPast have a Cheshire Wills & Probate collection, with access to the originals

Well spotted it is a view of Mary's Will, unfortunately there is no mention of Samuel but bequests to her other children.

You may have already seen this but just in case ...........
There are two photo's of a headstone dedicated to Ephraim Hallam on Stockport Image Archives.
It's very difficult to read but I think it says died 1897.

Family Search have school records for this family. Samuel and Ephraim Allum father Jno
Phoebe and the rest are Hallam father John.

It might be worth sending an email to Stockport Heritage on the above link to see if there is any other info to be found in the Stockport Sunday School archives.

Tx PC and Claire. Too late, I have shelled out £4 for a copy from Cheshire Archive! Based on the above listed Trade Directory information, I suspect Samuel died between 1845 and 1850, with brother Ephraim giving up his pharmacy business to take over the family business of waste cotton spinning -this activity was a Stockport speciality and the middle Hope's Carr Mill was packed with small businesses doing it. The only entry in the index to deaths I have found that looks likely is Samuel 'ELLAM' Mar Q 1845.

I have visited the Borough Cemetery and seen and photographed. Besides this 'necropolis' there are several relatives buried nearby with useful information on the headstones. -It's always a good idea to check out the neighbours!

I plan to visit Stockport Heritage Centre next week so I'll put the Sunday School Archives on the list of items to look at -I vaguely remember seeing these enties before but I haven't documented it in my notebook!

Thanks Claire. Unfortunately aged 46 in 1845 puts this burial out of consideration. I reckon the oldest 'my' Samuel could have been was 40 years and if the 1810 Hallman baptism above is the one, 35 years.
