Thanks for posting these. I have looked at these but I am just not sure.

The wife of the quack doctor was referenced in an 1886 book as living in a cottage at Bollin Fee at either Old Bridge or Bridgefoot in 1851 but there is no one who fits that description in these cottages in either 1841, 1851 or 1861. By 1862 the cottages had been demolished.

HO107/115/5/30/2 - 1841 Old Bridge
HO107/2162/33/1 - 1851 Bridge Foot
RG09/2588/51/16/75 - 1861 Old Bridge
