Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Wolverhampton Corrugated Iron Company Ellesmere Port
« on: Thursday 20 March 14 19:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Cath,
I am Looking for the same information what I can tell you The Wolverhampton Corrugated Iron Company came about after the expansion of the canal system in the Ellesmere Port Area.
The Company also had a name change to Burnells Iron/Steel Company closed in 1948.
The company built house for their employees many came up from the steel works in Staffordshire such as Wednesbury .
There was many house built on the Whitby Road these house seem to have a connection as they where named villas .
My Great Grandfather came up from Wednesbury and lived in Pooltown Villa's there is further information at the Cheshire Archives also google the company name .
My family name is Byrnes good luck

This is my family tree but as I found out am not sure this is the correct William Wall as both his mother and father can be found on the 1871 Wednesbury census .There seem's to be a large family of Wall's in the Staffordshire area .Problem seems to be the repeated names of William/Thomas/John.
The Wall family seem to travel on mass for work between Openshaw in Lancashire and the Stafford areas .
What also makes things harder is there is a number of women in different generations of the same family with the name Fanny.

That's Interesting and confusing ? on the England census I still have her as Fanny not Harriet William is aged 9 years not 4 .
Emma wall is aged 12years /William aged 9 joseph aged 4 .Isaac aged 1 year ?
Wonder why this would be so different ?

Have Traced the Ann Wall /William Wall but they go on to have further children and dates of births don't seem to match.
Think I will take your advice and order one of their childrens Birth certs ,will this have Fanny's maiden name on this ? Have also tried the Francis root before .Thankyou

In 1871/1881 Wednesbury Staffs Census Fanny Byrnes born 1837 Hattingdom Notts .In these census records She is the wife of Thomas Byrnes .He is down as stepfather to Emma Wall born Wednesbury 1860 and William Wall born 1862.
I am Trying to find Fanny's Maiden name ? Was she a widow when she married Thomas Byrnes .
The only record of a marriage of Fanny Wall/Thomas Burns (different spelling) is 1866 West Brom.
Who was she previously married to ? and why cant I find the family matches for Wednesbury  1861 census if both her first children were born there.
Been hitting this brick wall for 12 months .
