Hi Paul

I have a PDF copy (it is mostly about engines!) but will drop you a message and send it on.

I bought a couple of books too!

Thank you and thank you! It's mostly the foundry and engine stuff I'm interested in, I have no family connection so I look forward to receiving that.

Not sure if you have this info already.

You say you have found George Emery in 1841. Also in that household is an Edward Lindley born c1826. He is the illegitimate son of Harriott born 4th December 1825, baptised 5th February 1826 in Cawthorne, Lancs. Image of baptism on FindMyPast.

Believe there is a bad marriage image/transcription dated 8th September 1828 Barnsley, William Hemene (Hemery/Emery) to Harriott Lindley.

1841 census also records the below

With regard to Edward Watton I think you will find he is on close inspection Edward WALTON

Excellent finds, thank you very much! The pair aren't related to me in any way, they're peripheral to some research I'm doing and this will surely help - thank you.

I wonder if anyone could take a look at this for me?

At the household of William Brookes(52), Gailey Staffs in 1851 there are two young men who work as miners, George Emery(20) and Edward Watton(22), the former being Brookes' nephew. I'd like to find them before and after 1851 but have had no success other than finding Emery's family at Bloxwich in 1841 (his father was an ironstone miner). I found a miner by the name of George Emery at Brereton some years later who married a publican but the age and place of birth don't match.

Any help appreciated!

The Genealogist has a good collection of tithe maps, with links to the lists of names etc. Chetwynd Aston and Woodcote appear to be included, though it's sometimes hard to tell if every sheet covering a parish is there.

Thanks for the reply. I did look at that site but I couldn't make head nor tale of it and there didn't seem to be a way to buy a single item, it all appeared to be subscription based.

Where is it a map of?

It's in Staffordshire but the precise location has to remain confidential I'm afraid.
