A house in Madeley.

On 1881 census Hay Cottages are on page 54 of 55, and you can read the enumerator's route on page 1.

Anything here?

Thank you very much. A relative had hanged herself in one of the cottages where they lived in 1908 and I just wondered if they were still standing.

Thanks
Q

Sorry to jump on to this post, but does anyone know anything on the history of Birches Cottage in Madeley, Crewe?
We moved here in August last year and we belive its just over 200 years old, desperate to know more about it and see if we can find any photos of it.
Thank you

I would start by looking at census returns, newspapers and maps especially tithe maps as these name the tenant and landowner. I would also suggest looking around the churchyard at Madeley because sometimes an individual’s residence might be mentioned on the tombstone.

Good luck

Suggest you contact your local history society to see if they have done any work on it - they might have been very busy behind the scenes.  Our local history society is.

Do you have access to old newspapers and tithe maps? If you don't, the local society probably will, or can point you in the right direction.
