Morning Gay, This may reach you too late to save you looking for an answer to my query. The book just arrived in the post and at first after not finding the Hope and Anchor in the alphabetically listed pubs I eventually solved the problem. The Hope and Anchor with Samuel Ashton as the land lord from 1813 to 1841 changed its name after Samuel retired. Thomas Fielding took it over and changed the name to the Fleece in 1842 and later it became the Old Fleece. To make matters even more difficult its address used to be 114, Rassbottom Street but when they renumbered it became 29, Market Street in 1860. I hope you haven't spent too much time looking but many thanks anyway. Regards. Alan

Thanks for getting back to me. I thought I was going to have to disappoint you. One of my girls went through the entire book today, because I had clients with me throughout the session.
Really pleased your detective skills were honed. I remember The Fleece, or rather my children will better than I. As far as I know it's a trendy bar now.

Hello. I have been working on my family genealogy for over 30 years. I have a address in Mossley in 1910. I live in the United States and do not know if I even have the right area.

Hello Knitterrose,
Let me know which family you have in 1910 and the address in Mossley. You are in the right area and I might be able to help.

Hello Maggiemaysway
I have some information on Bradbury and Maiden Families. Can I have more details so that I can check if they belong to the same lines.

Hi My families including Carroll and Ramsden go back to the early 1800s in the Tameside area. I have done quite a bit of research but am stuck in some areas and would appreciate help to go forward again. Could anybody check to see if an Ada Lee born around 1888 and Robert Abbott 1889 with a sister Catherine appear in the 1911 Stalybridge census please? They may be in the Croft Street/Albion Gardens area of Stalybridge. I think Ada was widowed early, maybe a war widow. Any info on their families would be welcome. I think they married in 1911. Ada was my grandmother's best friend and bridesmaid at their wedding 1916 Kind regards Jo

Hello Jo Unfortunately the 1911 can currently ONLY be accessed via FindmyPast, which is a subscription site or pay-per-view and their Terms and Conditions very clearly prohibit lookups for third parties. The index can be viewed for free however. Are you saying that Ada Lee married Robert Abott in 1911? I can find Ada Lee's marriage to John Hurst 1912 Stalybridge Unitarian Church

Hello Everyone, I'm researching the HAYES family who immigrated to the US in the late 1800s, at least some of them did, from the Tameside area. The thread starts with Thomas Hayes, father of James Hayes who married Mary Ann Connolly in 1849. James and some of his children moved to the US by 1880. Mary Ann doesn't seem to have gone with him, which is a mystery.
I am an American temporarily living in the UK. I thought I'd do my family research while I was here with the main focus of looking into the family connections from England. The HAYES connection is the only one I've found so far, but it unfortunately doesn't go too far back. Hopefully, this will change.
Looking forward to chatting with some of you!

Hi popisonivy
A good place to start would be by Googling either 'e-mapping Victorian Cheshire' or 'Cheshire tithe maps'. There you'll find a free, interactive website that will let you compare a modern map with the 1910 O.S. map and, occasionally, the OS map of 1851. All you need is your postcode and the patience to work out the full value of the material on offer. The way in which it's helped me is by identifying all the named farms, for example, which then allowed me to make a more informed search in historical texts at the library.
Google used to publish some of these texts on-line and free of charge. These digital versions are still avaiable 'read only' but it now looks as though you have to buy them rather than just copy them. Another one bites the dust ! If you can get into the local history library at Ashton, you'll still access them free there. Try these for starters:
A History of Ashton under Lyne and Surrounding Districts compiled by W Glover: ed J Andrew An historical account of the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, and Dukinfield – Edwin Butterworth

Hello to everyone. I am trying to research my family historyhowever i seem to regularly draw blanks although i'm not sure why! My surname is Reddyoff, my mothers surname was Lawton. From trying to delve back, quite by chance i was told by someone i met quite by accident that there are a lot of people with the name Reddyoff in and around the Stalybridge area (St Paul's church and nearby). I know my maternal family used to also live in the same area and it would not surprise me if they knew each other as children. I would much appreciate any forthcoming help.
