CLEWES - Parish Records Lookup Request
« on: Sunday 13 August 06 11:24 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out some more precise details on the CLEWES family of Horton/Hanley in Staffordshire.

My ggg grandfather Jesse Clewes was born about 1806 in Horton.  He married Elizabeth (no surname yet) and born 1801 also in Horton.

They had at least 6 children:
Emma (1825)
Ann (1830)
Elizabeth (1834)
Jesse (1838)
Sarah (1839)
Ellen (my gg grandmother - b. 1842)

All dates of birth approximate from census.

If anybody has access to the Parish Records for this area I would be very grateful for anything you can tell me.

Thanks in anticipation.  ;)

Best wishes

Hello Ticker,

I have been doing some transcribing of Memorial Inscriptions on the Find a Grave website, & have uploaded details of Jesse CLEWES, Elizabeth CLEWES & their daughter, Emma CLEWES memorial in the Bethesda Chapel Churchyard. It is one of just 3 memorials still standing in the former churchyard, most of them being removed, or laid flat at the edge of the area when it was turned into a park in the 1980s.

I found your request for information when looking on the web for possible photos of your forebears as I like to give as much information as possible. Here's the link to the details I've just uploaded to the internet. The different names are each a separate entry. (there is also a different family name included on the monument I think)  http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=2350250

Edit: I just looked at my photographs of the memorial again, & the additional name is FINNEY, which is Jesse & Elizabeth's daughter, Ann. She married John FINNEY & is laid to rest with her parents & at least 3 siblings, Emma & 2 unnamed children.

If I have the opportunity to look into the records of Bethesda Chapel I intend to add to the Find a Grave information. I will let you know if I locate & can check them for further information on the CLEWES family.

Hope this helps! ~Meredith x

Hello William,

I have been looking into the records held at the Stoke-on-Trent Archives & there are some records for Bethesda. I work part time & have other, casual work, but when I can do some further research I will keep those family names in mind & let you know if I find anything for you! Let me know if there are any other church yards or cemeteries you're interested in records from in this area, as I am now living in Stoke-on-Trent, & have a reader's card for the Archives.

Many thanks,I wouldn't volunteer like that if I were you.lolThe Bethesda Chapel Churchyard for the names I gave though is just one of many Graveyards in the area of interest.
