Dear Clare,

If it is the same family, my line comes from Arthur, son of John & Elizabeth---completely opposite end of the siblings !

I am originally from Stoke & have been going back from there.

Would love to share some details.

Regards,
Peggy

Staffordshire / Re: Barker Brothers, Longton

I don't know anything about the history of Barker Bros. but my father worked there for over 54 years!
In fact he met Mum there & they married in 1939.

When my father was Clay Manager, Barker Bros was owned by the Hewitt Bros who also had Sampson Smiths which was also in Barker St. & manufactured china, as opposed to earthenware.

If you look on the website Made in England Mosaic you will find a piece which I wrote about my father/ Barker Bros which shows the works, backstamp & a few photos ---one of which was of Alfred Clough who bought the works from the Hewitts. His son took over on Alf's death.

I don't know if the factory is still standing---the whole area surrounding it is derelict which is very sad!

Since the help I received from Rootschat members I have been in contact with the present owner of Allt Vois who has sent me some wonderful photos !

Thank you for putting me on the right road !

Flintshire / Local knowledge Northop/Flint

On the 1841 census the Lewis family live at ALLT VOCE or ALLT VOICE

On a recent visit to the area I was directed from Northop, on the Flint road, past the school & shops & told that it was on the R. I was unable to find it.

I have contacted the Flint Archives but they were unable to help

Any brilliant local genealogists able to help ?????

On the 1841 census, the Lewis family lived in ALLT VOCE or ALLT VOICE( 2 different spellings).On a recent trip to the area I was directed from Northop on the Flint road, past the school & shops & told that it was a lane on the R.
I was unable to find it.
Have contacted the Flint Archives & they had no knowledge either.

Any good researchers in the area have any ideas ????
