Mellor-Horne-Swadlincote-Newhall-Darlaston
- Swadlincote
I am trying to find out the origins of Hannah Mellor, born about 1800, who married William Horn(e) at Church Gresley, on the 13 Nov 1821. Hannah and William had five living children: William born 1820-1821, George, born about 1826; Sarah, born about 1828; Joseph born about 1832 and Elizabeth born 1835. Hannah was buried on 17 May 1838 about a month after her newborn son James was buried. All of the children were born in and around Newhall (a stone's throw from Swadlincote/Church Gresley). William Horn(e) (born Worthington Leicestershire c. 1800) then married an Elizabeth Watkins, in September 1841. At some time before the 1851 census the family moved to Darlaston, Staffordshire, where Elizabeth Horne met and married William Harper. Has anyone any information about either Hannah Mellor or William Horn(e) and their families/origins? I have hit a brick wall.

Birch Family - Taddington/Priestcliffe
- Taddington
I am hoping someone maybe able to help with a brickwall. I have researched my family tree and have discovered that my Birch family came from the area. My 4x G Grandad was Joshua Birch born 1819 and he had an older brother that I know of, Enoch Birch born 1802. From both of their marriage certificates I know their father was named William Birch and was a farmer. I have been unable to discover who their mother was or indeed find a record of their birth's - I think they were non-conformist. Does anyone share an interest in the family or can anybody help me progress further.
Thanks, Helen
