Have you visited the Family Home ?

[Mobo]

Many of them were still standing. Sadly they have mostly been gentrified/holiday-homed.
 
Still I took the photos and told them about my ancestors. I expect it would have been a topic of conversation over dinner    Gadget

 

Why not post some of these Gadget - it would be great to see them.

Beautiful church Mobo

My Welsh family homes are still there - well most of them are. Mainly in the small villages though one has been changed to a shop which, apparently I used to visit with my Great Uncle Owen when I was very little Carol

 

That's great Carol

Think I did post some on anotherthread a few months back - started by Stevenson. With all these ancestral portraits and houses, I'll have nothing left for my website 

Each one has a lovely story attached to it. Wales, Shropshire, Scotland.

I too have ancestors from Siddington - William Worth b 1774, his son and grandson also called William.Although in later censuses they say Withington,so I think the farm they Ag labbed at  ,bordered the two villages?

Is it okay if I copy your pic-it's far better than the postcard we bought in the church(and we signed the visitors book) about 4 years ago.

They all moved into the bright lights of Macclesfield by the late 1800's.

WOW Carol - "It's a small world" as they say.
My BUCKLEY's and your WORTH's were actually neighbours and friends, witnessing Wills, becoming Trustees, and even marring into each other.

You can see how they fit in on my website (see profile below).

Hi Carol

You won't find this info on my website, 'cos I've not been able to tie it into my BUCKLEYS yet, but you may find it interesting.

When John BUCKLEY (farmer of Siddington) died in 1828, he mentioned married daughter Esther WORTH.  Also, Joseph WORTH & Nathaniel WORTH witnessed the Will, and Davies WORTH (schoolmaster of Siddington), and Thomas WORTH (farmer of 'The Lodge', Siddington), were testators of the same will.

For some reason, Esther (BUCKLEY) married John WORTH (Bricklayer & Farmer), in Manchester Cathedral 30 May 1819, then they moved back to Siddington, where their children were born:-
Dinah 16 June 1822
Jonathan 23 May 1824
Caroline 23 Jul 1826
Francis 28 August 1828
Isaac 30 June 1833

I have visited one of the "family homes" but did not know it at the time!

In 1966 I went on a school trip for 3 weeks to Russia; travelling overland by train.  Just before we arrived in Moscow I was looking out of the corrridor window along with one of my friends. I turned and said to her...."this is strange  but I feel as though this country is familiar".

When I got back I was showing all my photos to grandpa; I got to the Leningrad (as it was then) ones and  he just said....."that's where my dad came from"........spooky!

How unusual nanny - have you managed to do any of your Russian family history - now there's a challenge.

Sadly Mobo not a thing....do not have his "real" name and as he did not marry gtgrandma no marriage cert to give me some details.

All I have of him is one photo and his death cert.  Waiting to try to find him on 1911 census......think he is hiding with "wife" and baby son(my grandpa) in the cellar somewhere on the 1901.
