Funny title for me to ask for help on a ancestral website. Actually I'm trying to find a certain teapot which on it's base has "M. Degg Mar., 1762" and inside the lid it has "M.D. Uttoxeter". The teapot is impressed by it's maker TURNER who was producing at Lane End (Now Longton).
I am wanting to trace down the Degg family to see if it may still be in their possession.
So it was made in 1762 and last known of in 1901.
This teapot has a satirical design on it probably specially made for M.Degg whom I expect would have been from a well to do family possibly from Uttoxeter.
My search of museums have also failed to find it.

I've just discovered that in 1901 the teapot was owned by Mr. A. E. Chavasse, of The Avenue, Stone,
Staffs.
Instead this will be the best family to try to contact. Do we have any idea on how I should do this?

In the 1901 census RG13 piece 2610 folio 40 page 18 he was living at 21 Lord Street Stoke Upon Trent and his occupation was Traveller in Sanitary earthenware, On the same page is a Henry Cotton who is a Tile and sanitary manufacturer and the other males on the page seem to be in the same line of work.
There are sons Geoffrey D Chavasse age 2, Philip R age 1 and a cook and nurse. There older son Albert Cuthbert age 4 is with his maternal grandparents.
Geoffrey Dickson Chavasse relocates to Scotland sometime after WW1 and died there in 1968.
Arthur Cuthbert died in 1929
Philip Raymond Chavasse died in 1973.
Their names are unusual enough to follow heir children's marriages on FreeBMD
