I was very interested to find these posts.  My ancestor Joseph Johnson died in 1813 at Grindley Staffordshire and in his Will named his Executor as 'My Friend George Penistant of Sutton in Ashfield Nottinghamshire'.  I found this surprising because there is a distance of around 40 miles between them.  Has anyone found a link with George Penistant and Staffordshire?  Joseph was originally from Shardlow Derbyshire, baptised in 1733.

My great grandmother, Ellen Heap (nee Seery) was born on 8th July 1867 at Accrington.  She died on 28th April 1912 at Rawtenstall Workhouse Infirmary.  The master of the workhouse reported her death.  As a child I was told that following Ellen’s death, my Grandma was put into service, against her will, by her step-mother and her remaining unmarried sister left home because she did not like her step-mother.  However, on the 1911 census my Grandma was living with her sister Phoebe Beresford and her husband and she was still attending school.  Her father, Albert was with his son William and both were boarders and working as coal miners in Burnley.  The other three married sisters had their own homes.  So what I was told does not ring true with the story of the family breaking up because of their father’s second marriage in 1914, and there is now no one left to ask.  I cannot find Ellen on the 1911 census and wonder if it might help to find details of her burial plot.  Does anyone know where I can find this information?  Thank you.

Thank you everyone.  Harold is with his grandmother Ann Ainsworth on the 1911 census for Leek so is not the correct one.  The Harold I am searching for was the son on William and Sarah and his grandmother was Harriet who died in 1898.

Has anyone come across Harold Ainsworth born in Uttoxeter and aged 10 months on the 1901 census.  He was a visitor in the household of Moses and Harriet Heapy at Knowle, Worcs.  Harriet, nee Ainsworth, was born in 1865 at Kingstone, Staffs.
I cannot find a birth registration for Harold or any further information.
Thank you.
