Shoemakers in Sandbach
- Sandbach
Samuel Brown was born in Brereton, Cheshire c1802. He was in Sandbach from 1841-71 and during this time only lived in Newfield building, according to the census returns at least. I cannot find any more information about him. Please help?
I have a Samuel Brown that was born in Tixal 14 feb 1802 whos parents are Joseph (shoemaker) and Mary Brown. Samuel brown is on the Tithe maps living on the outskirts of Sandbach with Lord Crewe as a landlord, but I feel this to be a rather strained leap of hope.
Can anybody shed some light on this issue?
