Colcloughs of Goldenhill

[templeton14]

Hi,
I'm currently researching my direct line of Colclough family of Goldenhill. I am interested in delving deeper into Colcloughs. I am aware of Anthony Colclough who served under Henry VIII and was awarded land in Co. Wexford, but I am interested in the Colcloughs who remained in Staffordshire. I have read somewhere that they owned a mill in Little Chell (approx 1500's), and there was a Manor House somewhere between Goldenhill and Tunstall. There are also the likes of Colclough Lane and Colclough Farm still in Goldenhill. They were obviously an influential family in the area and I am of course interested to see where/if my line fits into this somewhere. Has anyone done any research into the family or could point me in the right direction of any literature on the subject? Many thanks in advance,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Yes I've done research into the Tunstall and Turnock family that lived at Colclough house after the colclough's left for Ireland. You may see some posts on rootschat for these.
Colclough House has been for sale, parts still are on the estate.  There's an estate plan digitised at Keele university, staffs. I had it digitised some five years back, maybe ten. Colclough lane is one of the oldest roads or lanes in the Tunstall area.
Check out a website called British history online and the Victoria county history of Staffordshire for more details, probably Ward, history of Stoke on Trent also. My sons best mate lived at Colclough house (Brearley family).  It was once owned by the historical Heathcote family and our ancestor Thomas Tunstall occupied it from him. Ps I live locally to goldenhill.

Interested to read the above comments, I’ve been following Colclough and Turnock for decades now. Turnock have been somewhat easier, the Colclough line (although well publicised for the Irish Wexford side) is more tricky on the Staffordshire side, partly due to multiple same names being used in every generation eg. John, James, etc and multiple marriages.

I was reading some ‘documentation’  I found online by Googling the other day, notes of a descendant who had tried to research all the Colclough lines and managed somewhat, collated by his son.
 “The Colclough Family; A Chronological Index ” by John Nicholas Colclough of Laois, Ireland, dated 1998. He doesn't profess to be correct on everything, but it’s interesting to read and he mentions the Colclough line of GoldenHill..and elsewhere.

I’d be delighted to hear anything of the Colcloughs based in Audley in the 1700’s and early 1800’s, especially some of whom in Wills were either listed as “Yeoman” or “Gentleman”…especially two elusive men. John Colclough died 1811, birth unknown but likely 1765-1777 and married a Sarah Edwards in Barthomley, also a related somehow James Colclough of the same Woodshutts, Talke, Audley etc area, who married an Ann/e Lindop.  Thank you
