Hi, Thanks. Most of that side of the family originates from the Fenton/Longton area. However I don't know a great deal about that side of the family at this stage- lots of research to be done ;).
-
I have a Thomas Ford born in Longton in c 1824 who married my relative Mary Lovatt and all their descendants in my Tree.

Well I do know there is a Thomas ford in the family, he is/was the cousin of my fathers 'father' . I'm not sure of any other details as yet as it seems to be shrowded in mystery!! Looking into the other parts of the family for now, again thanks for sharing.

Hi Ellie,
I have lived in Stoke, now in Newcastle...and Zen, I've worked in the Pots but don't think I am a True Potter......just an 'imigrant' from Coventry.....got my passport to here in 1975 so perhaps on the way!!!!! but happily married to a true Stokie!
Ellie... I notice you have Birks and Burgess.....my wife has connections with them in the Longton area together with Jervis, Holmes and Downs.....perhaps one day we will all meet up!

[I'm familiar with Normacott/Longton, my mother grew up there and I remember going to Longton a lot as a child :)

A lot of Stokeys mooching around this site..... ;)
I'm in Northwood now but was originally from near Adderly green.
-
So far I have traced my Potter ancestors back to 1734. More or less in the same area, apart from a stint at Herculanium in Liverpool.

Hi Ellie, I would be interested to know if your Birks ancestors are related to Benjamin Birks Tittensor, born 1864 died 1909, the son of Eli and Elizabeth Tittensor.

Hi,
Not as far as I know, I haven't come across anyone of that name ... yet :)
-
Just looking briefly I found Noon children born in the 1960's in Stoke-on-Trent who will be your relatives.However the awkward thing is we are not allowed to mention living people on this Site.
In general I'm sure you will get used to how the Site works.
