George Edward Ramsden Coopers And Crate Makers
A Memory of Longton.
I have been told that my grandfather and great-grandfather had a business at Longton as coopers and crate-makers for the potteries. This business ceased I believe in the 1950s but would have been running from the late 1800s to that date.
I cannot find any details of this business and have only been told that it was run from Longton.
Any information would be appreciated as I am in the process of starting my family tree. My relatives from my father's side of the family originated from Congleton, Cheshire.

The only likely 'Ramsden' I can find in Kelly's 1912 directory of Staffordshire is Edward Ramsden & Son, coopers, Canal Street, Longport (near Birslem).
There's en entry for an Edward Ramsden, cooper in the 1896 directory in Burton-on-Trent but, much more interestingly, there's also an entry for Ransden & Sons, coppers in Sutherland Road, Longton.
