Wolstanton records

Many Thanks Robert

Can't find any record of Sarah Mare's death on IGE, but that doesn't mean the theory fails. Will keep looking.

Best regards

Mayer/Cope

I am positive there is a connection. 

Hi there, excuse me for jumping in, but I've just found this thread while hunting for a Mare. I've been doing some Mayer/Mare people and have a Charles Copeland Mayer b.1874 Wolstanton marrying an Annie Cope b.1876 Hanley.

His parents: Reuben Johnson Mayer & Sarah Ann Abbotts.

Would this be of any help to you?

I'm actually looking for information and ancestors of John Mare b. cir 1783, Norton and his wife Sarah Massey b. cir 1787 Stoke. The one child of theirs I have so far is John Bagnall Mare b. 1809 Hanley. (Ancestors of Charles Copeland Mayer)

Hi Ecochick,
I think I have something on this will look it out.

Our friend has just left for Christchurch to live there from the U.K

From winter to winter I think?
Send her back we are missing her already!!!!

Hi back Caerfai

At least your friend is going to the best part of NZ - the South Island *grin*. It's still autumn but winter isn't too far off - hope she has plenty of woolies! If I send her back can I stow away in her luggage?

Thanks for having a look for the info, much appreciate. 

regards from a nippy NZ

Hi Ecochick,

Is your family John Bagnall Mayer, son of John Mare and Sarah Massey?He married Kate Werthen who had Charles  Mayer who married Emma Hodgkinson Lowdnes.
Are we on the right track?

My daughter's friend has arrived over there and feeling homesick already I think!!! Shes there and you want to be here! We have snow again though amid the daffodils and crocus!!!

[ecochicnz]

Yes! That is definitely the right family  - the Mare and Mayer being interchangeable up and down the line. Its the John Mare/Sarah Massey I can't get further back from.


We've just started school holidays, so your friend may encounter bad weather for the next two weeks *lol*. Had they been on holiday here prior to moving? I can imagine the culture shock, but at least we speak english  I'm a member of a local forum and we have a lovely English lady on, and she gives us some of the local dialects sometimes - she's from Nottingham - and it sounds so great, and funny *lol*. If the friend needs any help, I am happy to swap email

Hi,

Firstly I have contacted someone who knows more about your line and has a picture of John Bagnall's son George and some more. I have passed your details onto him and he has kindly said he will help. As it happens it looks as though he also shares the same family as me.
If we connect you to some of my Mares I have some ver.r.y interesting stories to tell!
Have you an email-mine is ^(*)

Thank you for your offer of help with Sarah. She is hoping to start Law School and she has never been to New Zealand. Her mum is a nurse so has a job over there.
If you think Nottingham has a fine dialect you have heard nothing yet untill you hear Lancashire!!!Even I have trouble with it coming from the Potteries! My three kids are very broad but one of them struggled yesterday with a man in Burnley and could not make out what he was saying!!!

Best wishes from a very cold England.

Oh that sounds wonderful, thank you! 
I will email you, and put 'genealogy' in the subject line in case it goes to junk 

Funny thing with accents, it hit me one day while watching some English show set in Yorkshire, that my great-grandparents would have been talking like that!!! Made me feel a little closer to them *lol*.

Hi Maggie

Stumbled on this thread - but seems to have gone quiet.  If you get this message, could you check some information on your family tree (which you mention in an earlier post) and includes Elijah Mayer. 

I am part of the Mauritian Mayer family, all of whom descend from Edward Mayer (b. 1809), son of Elijah and Alice Mayer.  Details from a family tree created by Edward's daughter states that Elijah and Alice were cousins and had the same surname.  They had 4 children, Alice, George, John & Edward.  Elijah then married the governess of these children (name unknown) and had three more children, Eliza, Joseph and Mary.

Family history would have it that we are related to Elijah Mayer the Potter, but I cannot link back to either Elijah Mayer (b.1717) and Elizabeth Jebb or  Elijah Mayer (b.1749) and Jane Mayer/Mare.

I have traced a record of a marriage in Stoke-upon-Trent which states "13 Feb 1806 Elijah Mayer, Bachr., & Alice Mayer, sp. Wit.: Thomas Mayer, Mary Mayer."  This would make chronological sense.

Would appreciate any information you may have.

Thanks

James
