COMPLETED ... SALT family - Alton/Goldenhill/Church Lawton ... COMPLETED

[Tapestry]

Could someone please answer a question for me?
Where or what is Lane End in Staffordshire?
Is it a village, town or Parish?
I am confused because there is a place referred to as Sutton Lane Ends near/now part of Macclesfield.

Thanks

Google map -Longton ,staffordshire This is more Newcastle under lyme-Stoke on trent area.

Macclesfield is Greater Manchester or Cheshire or the very top edge of Staffordshire

See where the roads are converging now called the 'STRAND' seems the same a places the old 1755 map

By the way! that link IGI Hugh Wallis above on my last post.

In the Alton search box just put in 'Salt 'in the surname box with no first name brinks up all the 'Salt' Baptisms

I would strongly recomend going to your nearest LDS family library and order the film batch Number: C032162 for 3 month as there maybe entries over looked as poor/near unreadable entries not in the IGI list for Alton -when time permits.

Seeing as you've got Mathew's Will as a long term back burner job?

Thomas /or any of the fathers in the at batch number? (an unreadable unknown bapt of Matthew in Alton ) There maybe a Will of Matthew's dad and that could be a bunch of fun!

Being like you as not living near Staffordshire! I'm restricted as repositories to search to be any real help to you  - some parts of  Macclesfield are just within my outer area as alot of their records are at Manchester archives.

Thanks for the map.

I have gone through everything posted a number of times and feel fairly confident now that

1) Matthew Salt was born 1788, his mother was Elizabeth Brindley whose father Joseph was the brother of James Brindley, canal engineer.  Fits with the family stories.

2) Matthew's 2nd wife Mary HANDLEY is my blood relative.

I have sent my request off to Staffordshire Records Office, so let's see what they come up with.

Should I close the thread or keep it open a bit longer to let you all know the results?
Happy to carry on communicating with you all directly, off-site.

Thanks, Claire

Keep this thread open (unlocked) as someone one day may read it that is of this family, but make it completed on post one (1) subject! then is put on complete board by a moderator but still comes up in the rootschat search engine and can be replied too.

I have managed to confirm the folowing regarding Matthew SALT of Alton.

Matthew SALT born 1788, baptised 22 June 1788, Alton, son of Thomas Salt and Elizabeth (nee Brindley). 
Thomas and Elizabeth had married on 21 July 1771.  Elizabeth’s father was Joseph Brindley, brother of canal engineer James Brindley.

Matthew SALT married (1) Sarah Robinson, aged about 18, on 02 Aug 1813, St.Peter’s Church, Stoke-on-Trent.  They had son John and possibly daughter.  Sarah SALT was buried aged 20, on 28th April 1815 at Stoke.  She had lived at Lane End in Longton.

Matthew SALT married (2) Mary Handley on 11 Sep 1817, Stone.  One of the witnesses was a Sampson Handley, possibly her brother, born 1790.  Mary was baptised in Milwich on 12 Nov 1792.  The parents of Sampson and Mary were John and Sarah Handley.   Matthew and Mary had at least 5 children, born in Staffs and Cheshire.

Matthew SALT married (3) Jane Ward (nee Hancock) 1844 – they both lived and died in Macclesfield.

So now my search starts afresh with delving into the Handley family.  Yippee! 

Thanks, Claire

Hi Claire,
It has been a while since you posted on this board so I wondered how you were getting on with your tracking of our Handley ancestors? BTW it would appear that we are distant relations  I have Belcher, Salt, Handley, Knight, Hall & Meredith in my family tree right up to living Merediths!
I don't have any info on Matthew Salt or the children of he and Mary but am working on it - it's a HUGE family!

All the best,
Fran

Hi I don't know if this helps but I'm related to James Brindley through his brother Henry Brindley. James is my 6th Great Uncle. I found this site searching for information. I've also found the attached link about James's siblings, it may help? Hope you find what you're looking for.
