I just checked these against my list of macclesfield names and there are no matches! I am actually surprised when you think my husbands family has 6 generations in the Macclesfield area!

Hi JEBelfield

Thanks for that - appreciate it

Not to worry, but I bet my family did come into contact with some of your ancestors as we owned the Corner Shop in Windmill Square for some 100 years as well as a cake shop nearby.

Never mind - I do have a good family tree, just trying to put a bit more flesh on the bones

Hi Chris,

What do you have on HANDLEY in Macclesfield?
I have just discovered a possible link to a Mary HANDLEY who married Matthew SALT in 1817 in St.Michael's, Stone, Staffs.  Matthew came from Alton, Staffs.  I would have thought Mary also came from Staffs, but I could be wrong as the family (6 children) were settled in Macclesfield when Mary died quite young in 1833.  She must have been a child bride as she appears to have been born about 1803.

Thanks

That's funny cos that's exactly what I thought.......'your lot' must have been up t'other end of town Chris 

Not exactly true though as we know we have Windmill Square in common don't we!

Hi Tapestry

This is what i have on the Handleys in Cheshire:

Joseph Handley born 1736 in Witton, Cheshire
Married Joan Swarbrooke (born Cuddingham, Cheshire, 1733) on 5th May 1756 in St Helen, Witton
They  had 6 known children:
Esther 1757, Mary 1767, William 1770, Samuel 1772, Ellin 1775 and John 1778 all at East Woodhouse, Cheshire.
Joseph Handley died 1799 in frodsham, Cheshire and Joan died 1815 again in Frodsham.

Hope that is of some help to you

Hi Anne

I too have Bailey's in my tree- my maternal gran was Elsie Bailey born 1897 at 22 George Street West -parents Joseph and Emily (nee Heapy).

My mum's dad Albert Worth was born in Black Road in 1893 and his family lived there for many years into the 20th century. On the 1861 census they too were in Copper Street.
