Staffordshire / Sarah Rosina (Rosa) Dodd née Morphey (c1887-1967)
« on: Tuesday 10 November 20 21:09 GMT (UK)  »
I've just spotted this chat.  I see that it hasn't been active here for a few years now.  I have a very good photo of the 1937 Endon & Stanley Coronation Committee, which I believe may include Rosa Dodd, wife of Sidney Herbert Dodd.  I'd be interested to discuss this further, please.

Thanks,

James Holdcroft

My family comes from Norton-in-the-Moors, of which I think Baddeley Green is a part.  The surname Baddeley has been quite common there for a long time.

An interesting snippet:

The record of the Old Nortonian Society for the year 1966 says:

In the Litany in the Church Service by the way, it was once suggested that a further supplication be added which would read - "From Baddeleys, Holdcrofts and Sargeants Good Lord deliver us!"


My dad tells me that his mum would often quote this.  She was married to a Holdcroft whose brother was married to a Sargeant.

William,

Thanks for asking about the "Brindley Family Register".  It's just the Family Register pages from our personal family bible.  It starts with my great-great grandparents James Brindley 1839 and Hannah Johnson c1832 and then lists BMD events for them and some of their descendants.

Regards,

James.

Anna,

I have in the past been in touch with GenesReunited Paul who is also descended from Sarah Brindley 1833.  He mentioned your name, but never gave me any more contact details, so I am very pleased to find you now.

For Hannah's death, I only have the FreeBMD and StaffordshireBMD references, so if you have more detail, then I would very much appreciate it:
Deaths Jun 1851
Brindley Hannah Leek 17 39
Staffordshire Death indexes for the years: 1851
BRINDLEY Hannah 50 Leek Newcastle-Under-Lyme LE/08/020

I have the 1841 census for Hannah and the 4 children at Cheddleton, thanks, but I have yet to find Hannah's husband William in 1841.  Presumably he's on a boat somewhere.

Regards,

James.
