My Nana Lucilla Winifred Dixon Moore was born in 1913 and we believe her father was Hubert Corfield from Ireland? in the 1800's with her mother Mary Dixon who was from Congleton we are related to the Groves. I am trying to fine out what happened to Hubert Corfield, I hope someone can help.

hi I am looking for any Pyne or Barlow families who lived in Astbury Street or Henrietta Street in the 1880's. I believe quite a few of my relatives were buried in Astbury Church, but when I visited a few years back most of the grave stones seem to have been removed.My grandmother was born in John Street, then went to live with her grandparents Joseph and mary Pyne in Astbury Street about 1867. would love to hear from anybody from Congleton who may have any info.

I have just found myself rolling with laughter at the court pages on this site, and agree Congleton certainly had its fair share of ladies of the night,and bad tempered men back in the good old days. Comparing the name calling and wife beating antics of the good old days it makes you wonder why we are so shocked at the foul mouthed teenagers we hear so much about today, the words may have change but the deviance of them is the same as back in the good old days.
i visited the sight trying to find anyhthing on Gilbraltor Rocks in Congleton an area of great poverty up to the 1930's when it was demolished, I have three generations of my family that lived there over a period of about 75 years. Does anyone out there have any old phot,s of this area or any information about it, it seems to be mentioned so often yet I can find no actual picture,s of the area. I was born and bred in Congleton and know where this area was but a picture or two would be so helpful to put in my files
Thanking you for the amusement and help

Goodmorning/afternoon/evening.

I am from Holland. Today I found out that my mother must have a sister in Congleton. Very sad that my mother died a few years ago so I can't ask her anymore.
I just founs an old adress in my mothers'adressbook. I hope someone can help me a little further. My grandfather has been in England for four years during the war...
The old adress (I think) is:

A. Houldsworth, 47 Buxton Rd, Boglowton, Congleton CW12, 2 DV Cheshire

Thanks very much and I hope to hear from someone...

My grandfathers name was Leendert de Visser.

Kind regards
Dianne

Hello
I wondered what has become of the fam.Goesten that moved out from Holland to Congleton (if this is the right place ? ) for more than 40 years ago. I knew this family quiet well. They lived in our street. I have never heard from them since they left. The father was Huub Goesten, his wife Nora, the children...all girls: Nory, Paula, Mary, Cathy, Shirly. If anyone can tell me if they lived in this town than write here in this guestbook or send me an e-mail message.

I just met a nice new friend on-line the other day. He lives in Congleton, so I wanted to find out a little bit about it. Unfortunately, I've never been outside of the United States. On-line research is probably as close as I'll get to Congleton.

Good morning....just came to your site via a twitter follower...
I live in the state of Ohio in the USA.
Was in England for a quick tour of London and nearby in 1972 while living in Germany (husband in US ARMY Security Agency - Augsburg and (W.) Berlin)...

We have Irish, Scots and English ancestry. Hope to get back to the UK for a much longer visit than just a few days, while I can still move about LOL.

Appently to my grandperents somewhere down the line one of the ancestors was mayor of Congleton and had Worrall street named after him. Worrall was his surname but i can't find anything about him can anyone help me?

I would like to trace photos, and press stories with photos, of my Grandparents, George Green and Fredericka Green. George Green was a Pork Butcher. He and his wife were in business in Congleton, firstly at 18 High Street, then at 14 High Street. They were both of German origin and brought up a large family, includng my Mother, Lena. Their only son, George Green, was a soldier in WW1 and was killed. He is mentioned on the Cenotaph in Congleton. I have all the names of the family in that side of my Family Tree.

The local Chronicle newspaper ran a few features about my Grandparents' business, but as I do not have the dates of publication they cannot be traced. I am, therefore, asking if anyone has any images and stories relating to my Grandparents' family and their business in Congleton. I would be very happy to pay postage if necessary to obtain photos and stories. Thank you in advance. I hope there will be someone out there who can help.

For my family reserach I would like to have contact with families/people who put up military personnel from Holland during World War II,in particular Dutchmen who served in Koninklijke Marechausee(Military Police).Especially those people who put up Mr. Joseph(us) (Ludovicus)de Theije from Oudenbosch in Brabant,Holland, he was detailed at camp Wrottesley Park.
Thanks in advance
