Hi,
I've just come across a site that may be useful to local family history searchers. I found an ancestor having signed his name to the Chartist Land Reform movement. The site also has plenty of interesting local facts and plenty of names etc. It is quite easy reading too which helps when trying to understand what the movement was and its implications for the local people of Ashton, Stalybridge and surrounding areas.
