Hi James - I've looked at my tree and haven't come up with anything.  Unfortunately the same names were repeated and they did seem to marry cousins a lot.  Elijah and Jane were first cousins.

I've taken a copy of your message and if I find out anything in the future I will let you know.  If you do make a connection I can copy the tree up to Elijah for you. 

Best of luck with your searches

Hi Maggie
              Please would you answer me one question? Your family tree have a
gallion in the Coat of Arms? If so you have crossed Ulveit de Meiri Saxon with the Mayer's of Normandy although we are both same family, did you  know that
Ulveit de Meiri sister was the Queen of England and Denmark and Ulveit de Mairi goes under Saxon spelling
                                Regards

Hi Thomas

Thanks for your messages.  The family tree was given to one of my mother-in-law's sisters by another member of the Mayer family.  He has since died but the original document does have a coat of arms with a three masted ship on the shield with a mermaid crest.  The motto given is Pallens Mari (by water powerful).  The note says that the early generations shown on the tree were taken from Joseph Mayer's manuscript at Bebington Library. 
I know very little about Ulveit de Meiri and was very interested in the information you gave in your message.
Most recently I have been trying to find the connection that Richard, mother-in-law's father, has to the family.  As you will see the line comes down from Elijah Mayer through the Boons, Leeks, Bloods and then Rhodes.  Hilda married Richard Mayer but as yet I have only got back to a Hugh Mayer and Frances Mayer of Rufford c 1725.  Even then it is on someone else's tree and I have been unable to research it properly for myself.
Regards
Maggie

On 1841 census Spragg House was occupied by Arthur Godwin, 55, farmer, who was a widower at that time, and his daughter Catherine 14.  (HO107/989/12 F10 P13).


Document in National Archives dated 2 October 1846: Copy of court roll of the Manor of Norton on the Moors, co. Stafford, recording the surrender by Arthur Godwin of Stone, William Galimore Harrison of Leek, and John Mare Godwin formerly of Burslem, of lands, late the estate of Hugh Ford of Spragg House, to the use of the Charles Bowyer Adderley of Hams Hall, co. War. and recording the admittance of Charles Bowyer Adderley to the said lands. MS 917/1722 2 October 1846.

Arthur Godwin married Elizabeth Mare of Norton in 1804 and the witnesses were Mary Mare and Stephen Mare.

Arthur Godwin was one of witnesses at the marriage of Thomas Godwin of Burslem (most probably his brother) to Sarah Mare of Norton in 1815 at Norton in the Moors. The other witness was John Mare.
