Hi Alison, I have just tried to send you a PM but it will not send because your inbox is full.
I have a lovely portrait of Thomas and Ann Haynes which I can send you if you message me with your email address.

This is an old post and I don't know if you got a reply - if not here is a photo of the grave at Whitehouse Lane Cemetery.

Crewe Cemetery is well maintained so finding grave ANEX284 should be fairly easy - although there may or may not be a headstone. I visit there quite frequently so will have a look next time I am there.

Emma Agnes's grave at Coppenhall will be at St Michael's. This is just across the road from Crewe Cemetery and has two parts - the church graveyard and part of the town cemetery. Crewe Cemetery Office have the burial records for both of these.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Hasskell Avenue in Crewe

I was born in Crewe and have lived thereabouts all my life and have never heard of Hasskell Avenue - in fact I lived in the next street to Athol Avenue.

Can you provide their names or other info to try and pinpoint the area - they may crop up in other directories or their names may ring a bell.

Staffordshire / Re: A house in Madeley.

Hi Caspar,
I think I have most of the descendents from Joseph William and Emma Alice - although it is all not quite straight-forward and there is some tragedy mixed in with good fortune.

Annie and Alice Jessie were not twins. Joseph and Emma had 6 of their children baptised at the same time, varying in age from 9 weeks to 11 years.

Alice Jessie's is rather an interesting story - her husband Henry Ray died in 1891 only a few weeks after the birth of their daughter Alice and she re-married into a rather wealthy new lifestyle.

I agree that it is probably better to carry on now via email so I will put something together to send you - but it might take a couple of weeks.

Well, you are the first person I have come across researching the Houldings.

Joseph William and Emma Alice are my wife's g-grandparents and we have quite a lot on their family, although with a few key gaps.
Emma is from Nantwich which is where they lived and raised their family and ran a drapers business - although for some reason they got married in Liverpool.
Joseph's parents are William and Martha and they ran the Crewe Arms hotel in Madeley (it was next to the mainline railway). William originates from Gorsty Hill which is not far away.

Will be interested to know which branch of the family you fit in and are researching.

Here is the Hall in 1964 at the time of the sale. Not really changed much.
