Did you use any information from my records?	Yes very much so!
Comments:	G’day Liz, Thank you so much for your home page and the story of you tracing your partner’s Priestley history. There seem to be a lot of coincidences in the names that you mention. Harry Priestley was my grandad, his father and mother were Richard and Eliza North Harry was born Dec 24 1889. He married a Margaret Drew in 1911 at Hade Edge. Harry had one sister that I knew about Ellen. I did not know about his other siblings. Harry had two children Dennis, my father and Phyllis who had three children. I do know that Harry worked in the Quarries; I think Ellen had a boy that I know of (Ronnie)? I would love to talk more to you about this if you think there could be some connection has I do. I am now living in Sydney Australia Looking forward to hearing from you when I will give you more information than I would not disclose here. expertteas@hotmail.com Best regards David Priestley

Comments:	I was interested to see the Hambleton discussions, particularly the email from Gill Dillon who owns the house once inhabited by Isaac Hambleton. I am trying to find out which house this actually is (I was in Taddington today) but unfortunately Gill's email address now bounces. Isaac Hambleton was married to Sophia Roscoe (the sister of my GGG-Grandmother). In 1891 her brother (William Roscoe) appears to be living next door. I know this is somewhere very close to the old Wesleyan Chapel. If anyone can help me contact Gill, or help me full stop, it would be very much aprpeciated. Cheers, Ashley (Whaley Bridge, High Peak).

Comments:	I have just noticed a previous entry regarding the 1816 marriage of Samuel Winterbottom to Hannah Wyatt. I believe Hannah to be a daughter of James Wyatt snr. The Wyatts were living at Blackshaw Farm in the 1800s and were were mentioned in the Will of John Wood who died 1815.

Did you use any information from my records?	Really liked the photos.
Comments:	I,m just starting so have looked at the records but not used them yet. I think the site is really good. I am researching my grandmother Mary Hambleton born 1892, (her father Thomas born in Mellor in 1861). At the time of the 1911 census they were living at Willow Grove Marple. I really liked the photos - almost feel I can see a family resemblance between 2 of the daughters and what I remember of my grandmother (?cousins). Mary Hambleton was described as a dressmaker in 1911, but then the next bit of family info has her going to France in 1920 as a governess - I would love to find out how that came about. Best wishes Julia Buchanan.

Comments:	I am a descendent of John Wood and Margaret Buxton. They are my great-grandparents. Their youngest daughter, Hannah Helena Wood is my grandmother. She married William Buxton. Their daughter, Ruth Buxton who came to America and married first William Harrison, and upon his death married Cecil Wolfer is my mother. In my genealogical searches, the only place where I learned the names of John Woods's parents as being Joel Wood and Jane Brunt was the information you provided. I am wondering where you got the information. I have documented evidence about most of the family of John Wood and Margaret Buxton's descendents that I can provide you with if you would like for me to do so. One of my first cousins lives in Glossop and she has sent me some great family memorabilla that I treasurer. Among them was a copy of a funeral card for Sarah Elizabeth Gregory verifying her date of death as 23 December 1920 and was interred at Taddington Church. There was also a copy of a card for Annie Eliza Gregory who died 23 August 1881 at 8 years of age and interred at Taddington Church. It is great to find a fellow genealogist.

Comments:	Hi Liz My great grandmother Sarah Wands (née Gregory) was born about 1828, birthplace listed as "Millor Derbyshire' in the 1891 Scotland Census. I guessed it was probably Mellor and your information confirms that I was almost certainly right. Thanks. We were always told that Sarah was born in Scotland. She certainly spent most of her life there but, after her husband, John Wands died, she moved to Liverpool to live with two unmarried daughters, Amelia and Sarah.

He is the son of Deloren whose father was albert tracy- a union general for the new york miltia in the us civil war. His father aaron was in litchfield, conneticut around 1808. maybe this might help with your hambleton family tree. Aaaron married a cousin - mary hambleton.

There are other connections - Joseph SHALLCROSS, mar Ann Johnson in 1852 at Glossop, lived New Mills, Marple & then Lower Hall, Mellor, where he was a schoolmaster and Parish Clerk. He died at the age of 31 from gangrene, and his widow had a son 5 years later (?) who married a Casey I visited the church and Lower Hall about 4 years ago, but the first was locked & there was nobody at home at the second, so I took some pics. It would be nice to find Joseph's grave. Best wishes, Brian

He appears in 1841 living with his father?(Edward) and 5 brothers? and a sister?. Unfortunately I have a marriage certificate of his? in Manchester in 1848 showing his father to be William! I also have an IGI record of his? christening at Mellor, - his mother being shown as Elizabeth but no fathers name. I am at an impasse at the moment and wonder if you could suggest how to proceed?

Comments:	Hi Liz <br>I am researching my family in the Mellor / Ludworth area and hope you can offer me some information about where to find Parish records of births for 1830 - 1840 for this area. I am trying to trace a birth of a Thomas Wood who I see lived in 1841 next door to the Wild family in Sandhill, Ludworth. I believe he was born in about 1834 - 36. He is a bit of a mystery man !! His father is listed as James Wood in the 1841 census ( no mother listed) but he goes on to change his name to Thomas Wood Bennett in later life and doesn't name any father on his marriage certificate many years later. I would really like to know how and where I can look at the Parish records for people living in this area. I hope to see who was his mother and confirm the link to the Bennett family. <br> <br>I hope you can help with pointing me in the right direction for the Parish registers etc or offer any other advice. many thanks and best wishes Linda

Comments:	Liz, First of all, Happy New Year, and keep up the good site. Like others I stumbled across the site after a quick browse around a Foolow site where my wife thinks her GG Granddad came from. His name was Frost and we believe he had a farm in the Foolow / Gt Hucklow area before emigrating to Americaat the turn of the last century. They returned to UK and we believe had a dairy business in sheffield. Retiring next year so I will be able to devote more time to this.Fantastic countriside and lots of history. Thanks again

Comments:	Hi Liz, I have an interest in John Hambleton. My great grandfather, Henry Woodhead, born 1859, Stalybridge, was married at Holy Trinity in 1885. John Hambleton was a witness at the wedding. Henry Woodhead had a son Samuel who came to the USA in 1910. I recently found a photo of a woman who I believe to be my great grandmother, Martha Gee, mother of Annie Gee, the wife of Samuel Woodhead. The photo was brought to the US by someone named Hambleton, it is written on the back of the photo. The photo was taken in Hyde. SAmuel Woodhead was living in Conimicutt, Warwick, Rhode Island. Would you think Henry Woodhead and your John Hambleton were family friends?

Comments:	I am a Priestley by birth.I live in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. My great grandmothers name was Louisa ( Ratcliffe). She married my great grandfather Edwin Priestley in 1908. Louisa immegrated to Toronto Canada in 1923, and went back to England in 1926, came back to Canada, arriveing back here on August 27, 1926. They had 2 children My great aunt olive, and a son named Arthur. By any chance do you have any information on Edwin Priestley . He was born in Wibsey yorks in 1874. in 1901 cencus he was a stone merchant traveller. what I am looking for is his correct date of death, my dad says it was 1923, my aunt says 1948.Another Aunt says that it was 1938. So no one really knows for sure. My Great Grandfather (as the story goes) is supposed to have committed suicide by putting his head inside the oven in the kitchen, and holding the gas valve open. Also the reason that g.g.mother Louisa left and came to Canada in the first place was that g.g.grandfather was abusive to her and to g.aunt Olive.(this from auntie, one of the few times that she spoke about her father before she died in 2001,) There was very few times that she spoke about her father, another one of the things that I remember is that according to Auntie, she said that most of the Pristley's in our family live to be an old age, she was 93, when she passed away. My dad is 71, and his sister Louise (named after my g.g. grandmother). is 70, and his sister Joan just had her 69th birthday. (they were born here in Canada) My grandfather was born in England and died here in Canada in 1959, June. I would really appreciate any ideas, or advice that you could give me. Thank-you in advance. Susan Priestley Langley.

Comments:	I am researching the family of Willim Rothwell who lived at Bridge End in 1840 when he married Margaret O'Brien who also lived there.His father was also called William and was a clothier .Unfortunatly they don't appear on the 1841 census for the area but were at Hayfield in 1844 when William Rothwell was born and his sister Sarah was born there in 1846.Then they disappear except for William born 1844 who lived at Chorley in 1861 as a lodger and then came to Durham-he is down as a Derbyshire stray in the 1881 census.He was my great-grandfather.I would like to find out what happened to his parents and his sister and if possible go further back.There were at least 17 married couples called Rothwell living in Glossop in the years preceding the 1841 census.

Comments:	Before I raise the query that I want help with can I please say how impressed I am with all the information that there is on the internet for the New Mills/Glossop/Hayfield and Mellor area. It is quite extensive and vastly superior to the information available for Sale in Cheshire from where my father originates. I am researching my mother's family. She was born in New Mills and the family name is Hall. I wondered if you could possibly help or advise. I have some queries about Ann Hyde who is shown on the 1841 census as living in Mellor with her parents. She is my Great Great Grandmother and married my GG Grandfather John Hall on 30th September 1843 at Glossop. He is shown on the 1841 census for Hayfield as a 15 year old with another John Hall aged 60 who I presume was his father. Their address is Ridge Top Lane which is not all that far from Moor Lodge in Ollerset where the family lived for some years. Other census information states that Ann Hyde (later Ann Hall)was born in Mellor. I have checked through Marjorie Ward's site but can not find any information about her birth or baptism. Do you know if there is any other source available? Similarly do you know of any source for tracing the birth or baptism of John Hall who was born about 1822 and the information from the 1881 and 1901 censuses is that he was born in Ollersett or New Mills.

Comments:	Hi there, I was sent this site by a friend, so I have only just clicked on it. Apparently the Glossops were numbered in their hundreds, mine I believe, were at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, from a roll call which took place at Southampton,prior to sailing across the Channel. They must have been strong, sturdy men and were listed as Bowmen. I have only managed to go back as far as 1765, where a George Glossop married a Sarah Lockwood. They had at least 7 children, and one of them ~ Ebenezer, was the esteemed Minister of the Independant Chapel, Chinley for 51 years. Any information regarding this family would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks. I look forward to viewing your site.

Comments:	Very interesting site. My wifes family of Sellers are from Glossop and her grandfather was one Dick Sellers who was Mayor of Glossop in the late 193O's and 40's. My Wifes parents were Elsie and Norman Sellers and they lived at one time at Simmondley where Norman had a garage. For any one interested in the Sellers?Sellars family I have a tree back to before 1700. We also have a family scrap book dating back to 1930 ish with many interesting articles and photos of people in and around Glossop. We are particularly interested in a Harry Sellers who worked at the local labour exchane around 1940 but then moved to Cambridge.He had a daughter called Margaret and a son whose name i do not know but I believe he was a Police officer.My own family of Rothwell hail from Hadfield, Padfield and Tintwistle and again I have a lot of info going back to 1730. Also have a family trees back to 1730 on the Handforth/Handford family again some from Glossop, Hadfield and area.Be interesting to hear from anybody who recalls any of the families mentioned.

Comments:	Congratulations..you have done lot of great research and have accomplished a great deal. I was wondering if you could help me to locate members of my family? I don't expect you to go through a lot of bother but if I could contact some living relatives that would be ideal. My father passed away 2 years ago (George Gee) and just before his death mentioned that he 2 uncles that used to live in Mellor/Marple Bridge. I think their names were Isaac and Sam, however one of them had one arm amputated in WW1 and the other may have had a barber shop. We left Marple and immigrated to Canada in 1959. Since my father died I have been trying to find some relatives of my Grandfathers. My Grandfather was James Gee and was born at Chatham lane and later lived at Horsepool. According to the census he had some siblings and I am hoping to find some descendants of these brothers and sisters. I visited Mellor last year and went to the cemetary at Mellor Church and also found Horsepool and 6 Chatham Lane. If you come across any of my distant relatives and/or any leads I could pursue please don`t hesitate to notify me. Of course I will be more than happy to re-imburse you for any expenses you may incur. Thanks Tony Gee 20 edgebrook Park, N.W. Calgary, Alberta Canada T3A 5V1

Comments:	Liz I was delighted to find the BOWDEN surname on your 1841 census indexes. I have spent 20 years searching for my ancestor Mary Bowden whose birthplace has been variously recorded as Stockport, "Glassup" and Manchester. The Glossop reference I believe is the most reliable - the Stockport reference came from 1851 census and Manchester from her death certificate when others were speaking for her. Mary was 'of full age' when she married Thomas Sidebottom in Ashton-under-Lynne in 1842 when she named her father as John Bowden, a spinner. Thank you for making your records available. I'm just getting back to my own family tree after a long break of non-stop work.

I know also that Martha had a brother named William, both at Ludworth 1841, Martha aged 41, Wm, 28, and John, Martha's son, 14.

Comments:	Dear Liz, what a terrific site. Wish you had researched my folks as well as Hambletons :-). Their name was Stora or Storer, maybe even Storr! They were in Disley, Mellor, and New Mills. Many of my family were bobbin turners, especially around 1881. Do you have anything on "In Disley was the Storr & Hambleton bobbin and skewer works" quote from booklet on Disley. I have a photo of Wright Storer (master bobbin turner) and J.T. Hambleton and other Newtown Wesleyan Sunday School Officers and teachers, it is in a book 'New Mills Wesleyanism' by S. Evans. I used to attend that Sunday School as a child in Newtown, now I live in West Palm Beach Florida, USA. My search is uphill at the moment - No-one seems to have gone before me, and the Mellor records are incomplete at this time. I am awaiting birth certificates to try to find my people before 1842. Any info you may have would be much appreciated. There was no shortage of Storers etc. I just have to tie them together.

Comments:	I came to glossop in 1948 when my father became minister of Howard St W.R. Methodist Chapel.I married a Scotsman (who was working at the paper mill)in 1961. My brother still lives in the area. I have done my own and husband's fam. hist. which has lead to an interest in social history. My husband is researching the history paper industry. I have 1 or 2 group photos of 1950's and flims of one or two works outings circa 1960 which I must sort and pass on to Glossop heritage society. I also intend to write about local customs and characters from that era.

Comments:	A very helpfull and interesting web site. The E W Allen who presided over the Sunday School Concert was my Great Uncle Edward Wagstaffe Allen, he was the son of Edward Allen who was manager of Partingtons paper Mills in the late 1880's. I am researching the Allen family but the name I am interested in at the moment is Mary Hadfield who I understand was born on 31/01/1786 at Deep Clough, I think she would have been Edward Allen Senior's Grandmother. If you or any one else can help me I would be very grateful. Thanks

Did you use any information from my records?	Not until the addition of the extracts from Glossop parish registers
Which other records would be helpful?	Any Glossop sources
Comments:	I have looked at your site a few times and found it useful as background more than anything else. Virtually all of my father's family came from Hadfield or Glossop, those that did not married into a local family. I went to school in Glossop, but we left when I was 14. Anyway I was just browsing the other night when I came across the addition of the burial details from Glossop parish registers. I am fairly certain that the Simeon Lee from Hadfield who was buried on 10 August 1856 age 72 was my 4x great-grandfather. He was married to an Ellen or Eleanor who was born in Honley in Yorkshire. Simeon was born in Hadfield according to the various census returns on which he appears. He also appears to have had a number of occupations including cotton carder, grocer and gardener (in old age). They seem to have had a number of children including a daughter Matilda who I think was baptised in Glossop in 1818. She married George Swindells at Glossop on 14 October 1838 and ten days later my great great grandfather William Swindells was born, they went on to have eight further children. On the various census returns that I have seen the two eldest sons of the marriage both named for their grandfathers lived with either their Swindells or Lee grandparents for most of their childhoods, William's next brother rejoiced in the name Simeon Swindells. The burial age fits in with approxiate dates from census returns, as does the fact that he is there in 1851 but in 1861 only his widow remains. The only other information I have about Simeon Lee is that in 1836 Simeon Lee farmer rented Bent Meadow and The Bents in Hadfield from the Duke of Norfolk (2 a. 2r. 39p.) for 12 years at ú7 per annum and that Simeon was able to sign his name. I am not certain whether he was a Methodist, the Swindells certainly were but I don't recall any Lee individuals in the Hadfield Wesleyan Methodist Church registers. I do not know if this is of ay interest to you. By the way I am unable to oblige with any of the other surnames of interest to you. The best I can do is the Winterbottoms. My grandmother's maiden name was Woodhead and one of her cousins Elizabeth Johnson married a Frank Winterbottom. The Woodheads mostly came from Glossop, althogh my grandma grew up in Tintwistle and Hadfield.

I have Abraham Priestley, born abt 1770, Bradford, Yorkshire, England; he married Mary Driver, born abt 1774, Bradford, on August 2, 1795 in Bradford. Abraham and Mary's daughter, Martha, christened October 30, 1803, Bradford; married William Holliday, on december 2, 1818, Bradford. William and Martha, moved to Tasmania,Australia, where their daughter Mary Holliday (my 3 great grandmother) was born. I have no knowledge of this family prior to Abraham. If you know of this family and their ancestors, I would love to hear from you. Take care, Shari.

Comments:	Hello, I have just (and I mean tonight!) started to look at the possibility of tracing my family roots. Interesting I should stumble on your site, which looks very impressive. Out of interest (maybe fear) how long did all this take you? It looks like it should have taken a lifetime in itself. If you don't mind I might just be asking you lot's of questions. One of the reasons, maybe pure coincidence, is a conversation I had with my father just before he died. He tried to do some of this research, but was too ill to make a lot of progress, but he did tell me that, although he and I were born in the Coxbench/Horsley Woodhouse are, he believed that his parents/grandparents were farmers around the Tideswell area. Like I say could be pure coincidence, but, if you don't ask, you never find out. Hope you don't mind me putting that one across the bows, if you do, no problem. I'm sure I can glean a lot by looking at what you've done. Merry Christmas to you and yours. David.

Comments:	I was looking for names that my grandmother had told me about. Her maiden name was 'WINTERBOTTOM', so I looked at your site after finding a link. As I only have records of my family history from my grandparents, I can only record details from about 1870, these are rather scetchy. The details that i have are that for the first 'WINTERBOTTOM' name being used is for Walter Winterbottom. He took the surname from his adoptive parents. These were killed in a flood (I am not sure about this). His previouse surname was possibly ROSENBERG or ROSHENBERG, i am not sure of the spelling either. He married EMMA TAYLOR and had a son JOHN HENRY (I do not know if he had any siblings ?). These two were my Grandmothers parents. John Henry had three children from his first wife who is said to have died. He went on to have three more children with Emma, of which my grandmother is the eldest (the forth of John Henry,s children). I am unsure of the dates that they were born? but it was aroundthe turn of the last century. There names were or are George, Tom, Violet, Joan (my Grandmother), John and Sheila. Thankyou for me being able to view your site, It has been inspiring to find someone from Glossop who also has a history with the name WINTEWRBOTTOM. If the details I have written about have any connection with yours, or you know more, I would be gratefull to hear. thank John Scott

I have plenty of details and photographs of this part of my family history which I am willing to let you have JPEG copies of them if it matches. She lived to a ripe old age over 80 and is on the 1881 census living in Liverpool with one her her daughters family - the Hendersons. Joseph Proctor lived at Knowl in Flash before becoming a stonemason and building the Longdendale reservoirs about two miles from your house around 1851 - living in the shanty village of New Yarmouth in Tintwistle. My greatest puzzle at the moment is that either Martha or Joseph were black. Can you help?

Comments:	Thank you for the opportunity to search your records. Very nice and clear site. However, so far no use to me. I have an ancestor, Daniel BERRY, claimed to have been born in Derbyshire c 1798; but where in Derbyshire, I have no idea. He moved to Surrey at some point, married there and emigrated to Auckland, NZ 1846. (My own second given name is Daniel.) So I am always searching thru any surnames lists or anything in fact which will help discover where in Derbyshire he came from. Regards Brian Williamson

Comments:	Liz, It is people like you that obviously do genealogy research for the love of it and for little or no monetery gain that greatly assist the expats of the Derbyshire area and others the world over. I thank you for providing so much information for us. It is my pleasure to sign your guest book and offer you the congratulations that you are well deserving of. I will keep on visiting your site. It is wonderful. May I ask - Would Flagg have a Census of it's own or come under Chelmorton? You know I am very familiar with a lot of your Derbyshire family surnames. I went to school with a boy called Winterbottom at Hardwick Square Infants and Junior Schools from 1935 -1941. I think he lived on Grange Road. I remember he had had an accident and lost the sight of one eye but was a very quiet boy but a clever scholar. There was a Fred Winterbottom that worked at Ferodo for many years too. Also two sisters Eileen and Brenda Gregory who both went to the Cavendish Grammar School in Buxton the same time as me 1941 to about 1946/7. My Mother bought her meat from a Gregory's Butchers in Buxton for years. They were near the toilet block just past the viaduct at the bottom of Fairfield Road. Bridge Street I think it was. Steve Gregory delivered their meats on a bicycle for a long time. I believe he and his wife came to live somewhere in Australia too but a few years later than us. We emigrated here in 1958. I wonder could any of the above people be relatives of yours? Or ..... A George Hodgkinson who lived on Bennett St. Buxton opposite us at no.24 who was not too distantly related to us. My father, Samuel Mycock grandparents were born in Flagg. Edwin Mycock 1842? and Elizabeth 1844? (nee Hodgkinson). They are recorded as living at 63 London Road, Buxton on the 1881 Census. One of their daughters married a Joe Harrison, who was a Joiner/Undertaker on Market St. Buxton. I visited Buxton 1n 1988 but unfortunately was not aware that the Buxton Library had the fische of these Census you have provided info. from. I have an old school friend who lives in Hadfield by the name of Mary Fletcher. That is quite near Glossop isn't it? Also Lilian Simpson another CavendisH 'Old Girl, was Registrar at Chinley where I met her in 1988. I did correspond for quite a while then lost touch. I hope you don't mind me using up your guest book space but I was so impressed with your site I wanted to share some of my memories with you too. All the very best and thank you again from: Dorothy Bonfield on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland Australia.
