My Robinson Family And Their Memories c. 1830-1848
My only memory of Rostherne lives through my ancestors memories of their life their. My gr gr gr gr grandfather George Sheldon Robinson and his wife Mary (White) robinson christened several of their children there before going to Canada sometime around 1838 or shortly after. They left before the 1841 census evidently. Was hoping to find if Sheldon was born there or did him and his wife just simply reside there with their children. Christenings are as follows: would love info:
Alfred Sheldon Robinson 4/1/1827
Mary Robinson 5/10/1829
Eliza Robinson 7/25/1830
George Sheldon robinson 10/19/1834
Frederik Robinson 10/19/1834

Burford Lane, Broomedge
My husband and his cousins were born in Burford Lane over 70 years ago and the pictures are just as the lane is now except that cars may be seen parked. In the 1950s there used to be a taxi business at the top of the road and the soldiers who were stationed at High Legh Camp were their constant customers. There was a butcher (Mr. Gregory) and next to him a fish and chip shop which Alice Walker owned. Lower down the lane, Mr. Davies owned the Post Office where everything was available from a library to lace and cotton etc. as well as bread and other food. Mabel was so patient with the children who went in to do their mum's shopping with a note, to the old ladies who just really went for a chat and a sit down on the seat which was always provided for their use.
When I was a child there was a village hall down Chapel Walks and we used to... Read more
Life in High Legh
I started school at High Legh school in 1949-teacher Miss James I think.
I lived at Holly Cottage on the way to Arley.
My dad worked at the water tower for the council, repairing water pipes.
My mother worked for Stanley Morton & son the milk rounds people
Anyone remember us.
1891 Census
My uncle's grandmother, Mary Solan, is recorded as living at 99 High Legh with six children and two lodgers. Does the address refer to a street of the same name as the village? Are there any pictures that would show this address?
High Legh History
To the lady who went to High Legh School. The school mistress was Mrs James who lived on Wrenshot Lane in High Legh. She had two children.
Holly Cottage was recently up for sale, on the death of Mrs Hilton. The village continues to expand - we have lots of infill now around the old sites of both of the halls - East Hall and West Hall. The old Army camp was the last development and little remains of the old estates now. The church, St John's celebrated its 600th anniversary, last year and money was raised for a wonderful stain glass window.
Please email me if you would like more information - as to the 1891 census query: No 99 relates to the record number taken, NOT the number of the house! The Solans actually lived on Hobbs Hill Lane, in Hobbs Hill Cottage - and the cottage is still there. They came from Ireland (from memory) and lost... Read more
High Legh School
One headmaster, a small Welshman, used to encourage all the pupils to write in itallics. I remember, one day, another teacher coming into the class to tell Mr Evans that King George had died. Still, to this day, I remember what he said: "I suppose we'll have to do it ourselves now"! Strange how we remember little snippets from our childhood. My twin brother (Roy) and I lived at the Water Tower Cottage, just a few hundred yards from the school. I can remember quite regularly seeing the Squire, Mr Cornwall-Legh, walking his labrador dog called Sandy. He always used to stop and talk to us for a few minutes. When we were very young, probably about 4 or 5 years old, a large black car arrived and the driver got out and asked if his passenger could go into the tower to experience the quite incredible echo. My father took the two gentlemen into the tower and then the driver climbed the stairs and started to recite nursery rhymes. I... Read more
