Title: Mary COOPER - Where is Cheswall Hill ?
Post by: Puffcat on Thursday 05 October 06 17:56 BST (UK)

I am trying to find the origis of Mary Cooper who married William Beard [born 1803 in Childs Ercall ] at Edgmond in 1833. 
She was born c 1811, in Cheswall Hill, and died before the 1851 census when WIlliam had acquires another Mrs Beard called Ann born c 1804 in Chetwynd [but I can't find a marriage  ::) ] or her maiden name.

Hi,

Could it be Cheswell Hill which was just east of Cheswell?  It would certainly be in the right area.  On the old maps site it is marked as Cheswellhill.

 the 1841 census says Cheswall Longford. So is it near Newport ?

Hi,

Yes , it is about one and a half miles SW from Newport and just below Longford on a modern map.  If you type in Church Aston on www. multimap.com and the zoom in once, you should should see  Cheswell to the left.  Cheswell hill is marked on the www.old-maps.co.uk site to the right of Cheswell.

Regards,
Mo

Are there any Coopers on the 1851 census at Church Aston ?

I am looking for a Sarah Cooper who registered the death of Mary in 1855.
I wonder if she was a sister perhaps, and then maybe I can find the family.
Mary married in 1833.

Hi,

Without an age it is difficult. However, this is the only one that stands out in the area on the 1851:

Cheswell, Longford
Thomas Cooper, H, M, 46, Farm Labourer, Longford
SARAH, wife, M, 43, Farm Labourer`s Wife, Edgmond
Robt Stevenson, Lodger, M. 34, Game Keeper, Church Eaton Staffs.

There is also an 82 year old Sarah Cooper in Newport, Lodging and a Land Holder born Patshall?, Shropshire.  ...I wonder if that is Posenhall?

Regards,
Mo

Did you find the origins of Mary Cooper m William Beard 1833? I too would be interested to know more and have not found details of their marriage. I am descended from their second child, Elizabeth Beard b 1838 Cheswell - my maternal great-great grandmother.

Am new to this and don't seem to be able to reply to your helpful message re 'my info on Ann Cooper', thank you.  Apologies Puffcat for sending outside 'normal' way. Would like to chat more about this but unsure how to continue the thread?

Hi Puffcat

My g.g.grandmother was Mary (Cooper) Beard.

She was born 1808, Cheswell Hill.
She died in 1855 and William married Ann Walker (nee Barton) in 1857.

My g.grandmother was Margaret Beard born 1840, Longford.
She married Charles Meredith 1864. Margaret died 1900.
If you need any more help please do not hesitate to ask as I would love to know more about the Beards and Coopers too!!

Regards
Jude
