Took me ages to find my password for this site !!

I am Still confused as I just had a look at the parish printed book. It does recognise twins but Thomas and William. ( Although it could look like either John or WM the short version for William  )

So is that curly bit a J or a fancy W. thinking about it I would go with WM



Not sure it changes things much other than to add more possibilities.

Glad to see you are still looking for clues.

BUT I am thinking - the SCOTTISH link is further away now.

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: Ebbutt family 1871 census Croydon

Hi EBBUTT family.

My interest is Abi Susannah EBBUTT who became Abi PRATT when she married Matthew PRATT from Staffordshire in 1860.

I am interested in her early life. I am unable to find her in the 1841 or 1851 census returns. Sadly Abi died young in 1866.

Any information gladly accepted.
EDIT---

Looks like I found them in 1841 at a place called Duppa's Hill.
Event Type Census
Event Date 1841
Event Place Croydon, Surrey, England, United Kingdom
Event Place (Original) Croydon, Surrey, England

I love all this stuff from the Cheddleton area as this is where James FORRESTER born 1777 was from (a 4th Great Grandfather of mine).
His birth record is not certain but reading his life backwards everything fits with his birth year of 1777.
The family bible has him and his Daughter Mary GOLDSTRAW FORRESTER as coming from Southlow, Wetly Rocks.
All these posts are great background material and everything helps me.

There are so many FORRESTER's it is hard work linking them.

Are you in support of "Jacobite John" route ?
I do like the idea but need some convincing.

I did present this view on another page.

To Sally G ............

I have put your suggestion to the developers of the " Wood Heath" housing development, on the land in Great Wyrley/ Cheslyn Hay, where Emmanuel Forrester was coal master.
Which I think is a cracking idea.

We have to be careful as I am convinced there will be problems with the old mine shafts which litter that site. So "Pit Shaft Street" is probably a non starter.

BUT how could they turn down " Forrester Way" as a name for the Wood heath theme.

I will let you know if I get a reply.

A sad end indeed.
I am of the opinion that those ruffians from Leek were to blame.
But hard for the Police to prove anything. Also we have to consider that the Police had only just been invented.

I have him covered in a page with those very strange songs from "The Moorland Jew".

Hello AndyForr

Great to see people searching for history. I have been reading about it for a few years and still find it fascinating.
would be great to hear about your little anecdote about a watch and your grandfather.
I am fairly sure we had watch makers in our family.

As it happens I was just checking this thread to see if there were any updates. I am just nearing the end of my re-write and it is in blog form.

Best wishes Martin
