George was born 16 June 1817 and baptised on 13 July 1817 at Lower Brund. He was one son of my GGG Grandfather (George Wilshaw b1763). Havn't been able to go back any further yet...

George b. 16.6.1817 married Widow Mary Barber 1840.

Thank you

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851-Wilshaw-Cheddleton/Endon/Stanley-pls help

Hi
This is the first time  I have looked at this site and I have not looked back at earlier comments. So, apologies if they have already been answered.
Joseph Willshaw (also used one "L") was my GGG Grandfather. Born 11 May 1821 Lower Brund. Baptised 3.6.1821.
Married Ann Tunnicliffe (from Longnor) at Leek 28.12.1848
Joseph died 14.11.1894 at Tomkin and is buried Cheddleton ref 85.
Ann was born 6.5.1825 and died 26.8.1905 at Cats Edge.
She was living at The Bell in 1901 aged 75 - widow.

Joseph and Ann had 8 children. One of whom was my GG Grandfather George b 11.8.1849 Endon. I presume that this was the birth registration not where they lived, but not sure.

George was a farmer and he died at Rosebank Farm on 29.3.1931. This farm was close to Black Bank and The Bell. I think they rented Balck Bank initially and then bought Rosebank. My mother was born at Black Bank and lived at Rosebank Farm, Nr Cheddleton. I have copies of the census for 1901 and earlier.

All this reaearch has been done by a cousin's daughter and I am trying to put it on the computer...

Any more information - please contact me. brianbaggaley@btinternet.com
Regards
Brian
