It looks like Seth`s parents were  Thomas & Margery Wood in Lancashire. There`s a wrong transcript error for Seth ( Leath Wood ) in the 1891 census & Margery`s age 39 not 59

I believe Joshua Heath Mayer had a sister Mary Mayer who married George Wooliscroft.

Joshua married a Sarah ? They had a son born 1821 Elijah Mayer who married his first cousin Mary Ann Woolliscroft 1st Jan 1845.

I found two children born Bagnall cum Bucknall parish records web page. 1776 Anne of Samual & Mary Mayer, 1777 Sarah of Samual & Mary Mayer.
   
  Thanks Mark

Looking for Samuel Mayer who died in 1814 Staffordshire. His son I believe was Joshua Heath Mayer.

I am researching the parents of Mary Mayer who married George Woolliscroft in 1813 Staffordshire. From Christining records there seem to be two possibilities, Both have Obadiah Mayer as the father with the spouses of Obadiah being Sarah Unsworth or Ann Simpson.  Thanks Mark

Thank you for your welcome, my grandma was Bessie Deaville and sadly died a few years ago but left some written details of the family. Her mum was Alice Deane ( on the 1901 census you can see her as Alice Dean Mellor ), there is a transcript error on Ancestry ( Alice Dean Melton ). Alice was born just before her mum married John dean and for some reason was raised by her grand parents George W Mayer and Betty (Elizabeth ) Mellor. Alice`s mum was Margaret Elizabeth Mellor ( the birth cert for her shows no father again ).

When my gran was a young girl she remembers some official men coming to the house with something to do with the Mayer fortunes, this I think was around the 1920s. Alice burnt the papers they had on the fire and told them to leave. It might of had something to do with her being born illegitimately. There might also of been a connection with George W Mayer passing away at the same time.

The first contact of the mayer connection which led me to finding Alice on Ancestry was a John mayer staying over as a relative to Elizabeth's father Solomon Mellor. I`ve linked up with others on Ancestry for the other family members .

There is an Ann Mayer as George`s Sister, but from the information gained from others she dies in infancy.

If you can help me with the family tale or any other information I would be very grateful as i`ve being searching for some time into the Mayer`s Millions.

Regards mark and Julie

My grans mum was Alice Mellor Dean who`s grand father was George W Mayer. Around I guess the 1920s my gran remembers some men coming to the house with something to do with the Mayers Millions. Because Alice was born out of marriage she threw the legal papers on the fire and told the men to leave. Its still has us all puzzled to this day. I think it might have something to do with Joseph Mayer as George might of been related
