Hi Zoe
Just seen your posting, well my connection to the fradley tree is that Edith Thomas's daughter was my grandmother. Edith married a Francis Pepper they had my mum Elizabeth and 2 sons my uncles Bill and Jim, they looked after Thomas in fact he died in my nan's house. His house is in Rode Heath if you didnt know. Can I ask what your connection is?
Looking forward to hearing from you
Yours
Janet

Hi ANB14

Nice to hear from you and welcome to the site, saw your e-mail your Charles born 1891 was my Great grandfathers cousin, (Thomas Fradley) Thomas's father was Benjamin Fradley born 1861.
Hope you liked Rode Heath or Odd Rode which ever you want to go with, Did you find Clarkes Row where Charles lived? it's hard to find because it's not named.
Anyway Kind Regards
Janet

Hi Tony

On a previous posting you told me about the font that was given by Elizabeth Price in respect of her brothers death Charles, well I have been trying to find it, Terry the vicar from All saints has e-mailed me and found a font waiting to be erected in his church that he dosen't no where it came from all that was on it was that it came from the old village. Also been in touch with Chester archives and they are going to do a search for any info on the trustee's of the methodist church apparently my grandad was also one.  Anyway Kind regards Janet

Hi, To all
If there's anyone who can help I would be so grateful, my great grandfather was in India, it was thought he was in the Boar War, but then i was given a Testimonal that was presented to him by the officers and members of Sr Davids Perseverance lodge no 55, he was a past chief templar, it mentions his splendid work in India, it is dated 20th Jan 1896, but I can't find him going or returning, although it is given on his leaving and indeed there is a son born later that year, and I'am now struggling to think what he was doing there, and where to go from here.

Kind regards Janet

Hi Tony sorry it's taken me a bit of time to get back to you, I've only just seen it, we have been camping near to my mums caravan, near Wem. Bill and Joan have also been up and stayed for a few days, Auntie Rhoda died two years ago she was a lovely lady, I keep in touch with Rhoda's daughter Mary, she's trying to do the Garrett side of the family, Thomas's 1st wife was Drucilla Matilda Garrett, I don't know if you remember. I have a feeling Michael died a few years ago.
My nan Edith I don't remember as she died when I was only 1, uncle Jim now lives in Kidsgrove, very near to my mum. Uncle Bill and Auntie Joan still live in Rode Heath, Tony what's your full name (if you dont mind me asking so I can tell Uncle bill. Jean Druc's daughter changed her name by depole to drucilla.
Was I right about Charles and Emma Barnett being buried at All Saints then with their son? if so I have a photo of their grave if you want it, if you havent already got it.
anyway look forward to hearing from you Janet

Hi Tony,
I noticed your posting regarding the Fradleys, I dont know if this helps or if you already have this info.
Samuel Bloors wife her maiden name was Dix b 1742 Eccleshall, Staffordshire they married 28/7/1781. William Fradley who married Margaret (Peggy) b 1775 their daughter, they had a son Soloman b 1797. William is also said to have married a Jane B 1758 they had a Martha b 1783, George b 1788 and a Thomas b 1789.
The Benjamin and Ann you mentioned I take this to be Ann Stanworth and their son Charles b 1962 he married a Emma Barnett, well Charles's brother Benjamin Born 1861married a Eliza Ann Williams and they had a Thomas, who was my ggrandad, it's funny to see your posting as if this is right and Charles did marry a Emma, I was at All Saint Church Rode Heath yesterday and saw their grave, I photographed it.. anyway please get in touch  regards Janet
