Painterlady, there's a really great site with maps of Burton on Trent 'through the decades' as it were, here:
www.burton-on-trent.org/1-History/Local%20Maps/burton_upon_trent_maps.htm

Early in researching a branch of my Newtons, I got caught by the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border thing. I couldn't understand why my ancestor's first wife's death was registered in Derbyshire when they were living in Burton. It soon became clear when I did a bit of research on registration boundaries!!

Hi Mark
I was looking for Pipers and Dales on the net and found what you had put on in 06.  I tried to contact you, but had to register, and, when I had done that, I kept getting shifted to Ancestry.  So I got started the only way I could think of.
My husband is the great grandson of Emma Piper.  Emma married George Albert Stone of West Grinstead.  Emma and George moved to Ontario.  My husband was born in Toronto.  I expect you have learned a lot more about the Dale's and Piper's since 06.  We are interested in any information about the families.
Hoping to hear from you.
