I have located a number of relatives, Whittakers and Cunninghams, working in the Bone Manure and Glue Works, Newcastle under Lyme, Staffs.
Whilst the name of the company is not listed in the Census, I believe it to be the company owned by the Massey family based at the Waterloo Works in the St Georges area of the town.This area is now flattened to make way for new roads and I have been unable to locate any old photos of the site. Might anyone out there be able to help me?
In addition, I believe that the factory was frequently in trouble with the authorities owing to the foul smells emanating from the site and would be interested to know if anyone could support this? I have scoured the limited editions of the Staffordshire Sentinel on Ancestry to no avail.
Huge thanks to anyone who can help

The stainwrights lived in Headley street off gordon road until 1968 I went to st mary magdalene in godman road, opposite the hooper hall. My dad John was a lorry driver and lived in peckham all his life until his firm barnet and foster moved to wellingborough with the london overspill. It would be nice if any one remembers us.

I’m curious about your mention of Elijah Murduck as a resident of Upminster. All extant records concerning him point to the fact that he resided in Romford, from at least 1948 until his death in 1967. He was a cordwainer, as were 3 brothers, so that part is valid. Can you shed more light on what was written in The Story of Upminster concerning him and the Upminster workhouse
