Welcome to RootsChat, Trebla079.
Hi Everyone, please excuse me I am new to the Chat, but have been interested in reading it on the net. I am a Barlow born on the Tench 1947, have been at sea for some years so out of the loop. My mother was a Mellor, we lived in Tamworth and ran the Tench around Glascote Fazeley etc.
If I am on the correct pages I would like to get info on our life around that time, if I am not on the correct page please correct me, I am used to that after 35 years in the RN. thanks for anyone who reads this. Trebla079
Sorry I did miss out I am in contact with the owner of the Tench and we have a family tree with date ging back to 1750s

What are you particularly interested in? Is it the family history of your Barlow ancestors in Staffordshire or something else? The Staffordshire board may be the best one to post on if you're specifically interested in that county.
Select "HELP" on the dark-brown strip to read information & tips. I recommend reading "Posting topics and replies", "Getting the best from RootsChat" and "Guidelines for posting".
Posting on the most appropriate board, choosing a topic title which alerts potential readers to the subject of the topic and a carefully composed opening post can all help to get a good response.
Moderator comment: topic now split to form a new thread with a new title and moved to Family History Beginners board.
