Hello Noelle! Lovely to hear from you.

I’m afraid I haven’t really touched this side since we last corresponded. I rather gave up with it all as i couldn’t trace the family line beyond George Harris of Aston Hall so anything you have would certainly be of interest.

Hi CarolW!

Thank you very much for the burial dates. Those I didn’t have so this is really appreciated.

They were all buried at All Saints. I think they stopped using St Mary’s burial ground when the cholera epidemic hit the town in the 1840s as the churchyard was full so All Saints was opened to accommodate the overflow. So anyone listed as buried at St Mary’s would either be in All Saints or Whitehouse Lane which was opened in the late 1800s.

Thanks for the ‘snippet’, rosie99 - very much appreciated. The library at Nantwich don’t have the ‘Nantwich Guardian’ for any dates beyond 1900 so this is great!

Hi ValJJJ.

Yes, I live in the town. Thomas and Emma Crawford are buried in the old cholera cemetery opposite the Barony Park. I know where the stone is and it was standing until recently but I never got round to taking a photograph of it. Funnily enough, it was on my ‘to do list’ this year when the weather improved because I silently thought it might get toppled. I left it too late!!!

The stone was leaning at a precarious angle until recently and I guessed it was deliberately toppled in case it fell. I suppose I could get the stone mason to erect it.

I think they both died in or around the time of the 1st WW. I don’t have the burial dates. The stone is two large to flip. It would have to be done professionally

Does anyone happen to have a transcription of All Saints Burial ground in Nantwich or know where I might find a copy?

I went there today to take a photo of the tombstone of Thomas and Emma Crawford and their son Edward but the stone is now lying on the ground face first. I suspect it has been deliberately pushed over to satisfy the ‘elf & safety’ brigade. So annoying!

Many thanks, Jayson

Hello!

Unfortunately, there are known photographs of staff members. What was your grandmother’s name?

David, Arthurk and Alan

I never would have imagined so much information coming from one article I chanced upon in the Crewe Chronicle several years ago.

I really appreciate everything everyone has found for me and cannot thank you all enough.

I’m so excited by these latest discoveries and can’t to go to the Cheshire Archives to find out more

Jay :)

Thanks for the extra, arthurk.

The date of the document at the Cheshire Record Office is 17 July 1822, and was a notice addressed  to the inhabitants of Nantwich by James Hodgson, Deputy for the Association of General Baptists.

David provided a interesting link to a site which gave some additional information about John Cooper’s time at Coseley in Staffordshire where it is said that he was ‘an enthusiastic supporter of the Reform Bill of 1832’ and that ‘he antagonised many members of the congregation by his outspoken views’. He lost his position at that church (I’m guessing this living was also of the Baptist persuasion), and took legal action but this ultimately failed and he relocated to Lincolnshire.

I’m a bit confused as to when he actually died. In the Sutton St Nicholas parish register it says John Cooper of Lutton aged 52 buried on 10 Dec. However, both John’s will and the Newspaper obituaries say he died in May 1865 so the Lutton burial surely cannot be the same John Cooper as the age and date of death don’t match.


Thanks for the marriage extract, David. We might share a family connection through the Wilkinsons.
