Year: 1880s
Mary Ann Shuker
My great grandmother, Mary Ann Shuker came to Manchester from Chirbury in service as a maid. She married my great grandfather, Ernest Edward Chorlton and they must have returned to Chirbury to be married because the family bible states they married at Chirbury Church on 22nd December 1888. I always thought she came from Wem - but this is quite a way away (for those days). I would love to find out more about her - I will travel to Chirbury and search the graveyards for her mother and father. What a life change for her to travel to Manchester! The address she came to is Stanley House, Oxford Road, Manchester (I would imagine a cotton baron's home). She must have visited her family in Chirbury for her wedding (and Christmas I imagine) then travelled back to Manchester where she remained. How I wish I could find out more about her - she is often in my thoughts! Last edited: 29/05/2007 09:53 by Pam Lennon |

Year: 1860s
Titleys A memory of Huntworth, Somerset I am looking for my ancesters. They lived in Bausley through the 1800s. Their names are John Titley and Jane Briggs. Is there anyone that might help me fill in any missing details. Here are the details from the 1861 census: Address: Bauseley Hill, Bauseley, Montgomeryshire, Wales Head of household: Richard Titley, 50, labourer, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire Wife: Elizabeth Titley, 37, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire Son: Thomas Titley, 13, labourer, 8, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire Son: Richard Titley, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire Son: John Titley, 6, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire Daughter: Elizabeth Titley, 3, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire Son: David Titley, 12 months, born Bauseley, Montgomeryshire This information has led me to Richard Titley’s baptism on 15 Dec 1811 at Alberbury, parents John and Jane Titley. And from that I have found the marriage of John Titley and Jane Briggs on 28 Jun 1805 at Alberbury, which fits in with the birth of their first child (Mary) in 1807. Unfortunately I can’t trace the line back any further than that as the parish records don’t seem to be online that far back. My guess would be that both John and Jane were born somewhere around 1780 in or near the parish of Alberbury. Thank you. Last edited: 23/06/2008 16:22 by Phillip Latham |

Year: 1880s
Ethel May Tantrum A memory of Little Stretton, Shropshire My husband's Grandmother, Ethel May Tantrum, was born in Craven Arms in 1885, but by 1891 was living in Elms Cottage, Little Stretton. In 1910, she married Harold Ezard and in 1924 she died at White Birches Cottage, Little Stretton. Their son, Harold, was born in Little Stretton, but we are not sure where (possibly White Birches Cottage?) and we would love to hear from anyone who could help us find out more about the Tantrums and the Ezards of Little Stretton. We recently visited Little Stretton, by chance, with some friends and found it a fascinating place and plan to return in the future. Posted: 10/07/2006 11:39 by Judith Ezard |

Year: 1949
Summer holidays A memory of Huntworth, Somerset My early memories go back to the days spending our holidays at Grandma Davies in Broome. Grandma used to say it's only half a mile to Aston-on-Clun, we would walk there at least twice a week. The first time would be to Mr Naylor's shop. Also to exchange the accumulators to run the radio, you see there was no electricity, also no running water. The second time would be every Sunday evening going to the Baptist chapel, we would add another seven at least to the congregation. The organ was played by Mrs Howl, it was a treadle organ, and at times we would find it hard keeping up with her. My home town is Congleton, Cheshire, and my memories of Aston-on-Clun are still with me today as if I was only there yesterday. We have lived in Australia since 1968, and have returned to Congleton on occasions, but we never for-get to go to Aston-on-Clun. Last edited: 22/10/2008 08:49 by Frank Davies |
