Have you thought of searching both names on 'Genes Reunited' maybe someone has already looked into this? I started to have a look but stopped myself, you know how addictive puzzles can be :) I hope it's not a 'dead end' to your research, it sounds like you have little to go on.

Of the 8 I found in Ashby the birth years were 1895, 1902, 1878, 1907, 1865, 1875, 1892 and 1905. My guess is that it is one of the younger Marys, but equally it could be none of them. I think Moira pottery was founded in 1922 so future Census information may not help.

Hi

Sadly I don't have any more details, and I am not related. My friend dug up an old pottery jam jar and on it is hand inscribed:

from Mary Goacher to Mrs Arnold 6 Old Park Villas Ashby-de-la-z good luck Moira Pottery Limited 25.7.23. It also has a horseshoe picture.

I suspect Mrs Arnold may have been leaving to have a baby or something. It has been in my cupboard for about 16 years and I just thought it would be nice to return it to any existing relatives who may value the sentiment.

I have had a brief search of the census from 1911 and there are eight possibilities, but one family in particular stand out (as they registered in Moira), the Mother was born in 1865 and the daughter 1892.

Hello

This is unrelated to your question, but, I am trying to trace the surviving family of a Mary Goacher, all I know is that in 1923 she was working in Moira Pottery. Just wondered whether you may be able to help, I noticed your Leicester reference. Thanks.
