Staffordshire Sentinel

I would like to see the existing dates extended into the 1920 at least. My interest is the effect and aftermath of the First World War on the people of the Potteries.

    Looking for more information on the parents of Martha Hollinshead - Matthew Hollinshead and Hannah Gibson. Martha was baptised in Burslem in 1933 and later married Benjamin Frith in 1939 (possibly in Tunstall)and was living with him and their children in Tunstall at the time of the 1961 census. Matthew and Hannah were married in Biddulph in 1984 and had at least 9 children, several of whom were born in Biddulph. Were Matthew and Hannah from Biddulph? Who were their parents? Any information gratefully received.

    Im anxious to find anything about my ancestor Robert Oxberry said to have been born in Burslem, Staffs about 1957. He was a potter who moved to Tyneside where he began a pottery and glass-blowing business, marrying Elizabeth Dobson 23 December 1982 Heworth, near Gateshead, County Durham. In particular I should like to know his exact birth or baptism date and the names of his parents. In some records later his name occasionally appeared as Oxborough.

    Nice site.

    I am decended from George LEESE who was the Caverswall
    Blacksmith in the early to mid 1930s.

    My Derricott ancestors lived in the East Vale of Caverswall
    in the late 1950s.

    Some of my Thorley relations moved into Caverswall and my
    wife is connected to the Whitehursts and Brassingtons who
    had long associations with the parish.

    Keep up the good work with the site.

    While researching my family history (Emony)I
    note that for a period of 30 years they lived in a hamlet
    "SHEEPWASH" in the parish of Caverswall. I am unable to find any trace of this
    hamlet on any map. Can anyone help please?
    Several of my relatives are buried in Caverswall church

    My father was Headmaster of Caverswall School from 1917 to
    1945 when he was asked to run a boarding school for misfits
    of the evacuation scheme. This was at Basford Hall near Leek
    He was there until he retired.
    We lived and I was born at 17 Garden Village,Weston Coyney
    which is along the Leek Rd. from "Sproston's" corner.We were
    just before the second crescent. He paid £750 for it.
    I remember the Slinn family living next to the Burgesses.
    In the second crescent were the Plumptons,the Bournes
    the Melvilles,Foxes,Elsbys,the Hulmes and the Salts.
    Not all of the above families attended Caverswall as some
    went to Meir School. My father and my brother John and I
    walked to school every morning but relished a lift,
    sometimes with the Brook Bond van, which was a Trojan with
    solid wheels.
    I can recall some of the names of the pupils----Locketts
    Brassingtons,Cottons,Greensmith,Leeses from Cookshill and
    Bothams,Paul and Denis Hollins from Roughcote Lane.
    The Thompsons from further afield. The Lammomby sisters and
    Donald and Duncan McPherson.
    I remember the Pearson family who were farmers
    I left to go to Wolstanton Grammar School in 1936,
    At Weston Coyney we had great enjoyment from the Tennis
    Club and spent all day there during the holidays.
    Caverswall Church attracted very large congregations and being in the
    in the choir was a bonus in many ways. The Rev. Gower Jones
    was a fiery preacher with a great interest in the village.
    At the outbreak of war (I was 14)the organist was called up
    and as I could play the piano I was asked to play for the
    Services. I was delighted and I have been a fairly competent
    pianist and organist ever since.
    My last appointment was Head of a school near Abingdon and I
    welcomed Fred Leese as the Woodwork instructor AND HE CAME
    FROM COOKSHILL.

    My grandfather George Cook (born 1876)came from Tutsbury. We know little about him as he did not return from WWI.
    I have a picture of him sent by my fathers aunt during the 1950s. The return address is
    Mrs W. Cooper, Caverswall Crossing, Meir, Stoke-on-Trent, England.
    I would appreciate learning any information about Mrs. W. Cooper.
