Folks, I'm currently on holiday, tapping in occasionally. Derek tells me there is a Disley Road on the 1891. However, Tracey has said Disley Road is Newtown, and Newtown is definitely at the north end of New Mills, about 4 miles from Hayfield, and is a little "hamlet" comprising Buxton Road which goes from New Mills (a) to Whaley Bridge or (b) to Disley. There could well have been a bit called Disley Road - I don't imagine there was a Buxton Road in Hayfield either, the three roads out are likely to be Glossop Road, Chapel Road and New Mills Road.

I'm really impressed with all the buzz going on & a big thank you. A strong marriage possibility of William Turner & Ann Waterhouse. I feel this is accurate, & SOOO exciting. It is an ANZAC Day holiday here this weekend & I'll be looking into all the contributions asap.

Hi! Wayne Tracy, also Derek, thanks for joining in. . How thorough you all have been with the Disley road research, I'm thrilled as I'd never have got this far without your help.
The 1891 census re. Martha Turner is spot -on, Mad meg. That's my Great Grandmother...

I still think it was probably the road to Disley. ;)

Where I am, there is a long street that goes from one end of town to the other, and out of town on both ends.

At one end, on the outskirts, it's called, say, Windsor Road. It's the road that goes to Windsor.

At the other end it's called, say, Toronto Road. It's the road that goes to Toronto.

In between, it's called two other things, proper street names, as it passes through town.

Disley Road could have been what the road in question was referred to as once it got to the outskirts of town?

Me again.......the hayfield Census has the family of William and Ann Turner.(and a couple of other Turner families..but not with a John aged 5)

They have four children Martha 1831/William 1834/JOHN 1836/and Thomas 1838......William is a butcher and they live at Household 38!! whatever that means....

Since New Mills/ Hayfield and Glossop are so close.I offer you a Marriage possibility.....William Turner (of Hayfield) married Ann Waterhouse 30.08.1829

MM,

As it goes looking at the image it states Buxton Road, shall look further to see where Disley road comes from.

.....ok looking at it further, in this instance i think the occupant it the issue here.

On the address coversheet he has listed the address as Disley Road, Newtown but on the actual census he's listed it as Buxton Road. I wonder if he's used a local coloquial term for the road??

I know we have several road round here that are called something else locally becauise of the town they go towards or the village, when in actual fact that's not the actual road name at all.

It is worth noting he's the only person listing Disley Road from 1881 to 1911.

Hello you lot.yes i have the new Mills Parish records from 1831-1910..and john turner et all are not on it....but as mad MEG well knows cos she is even more local to there than I am..Hayfield new Mills and Glossop sre pretty much joined at the hip....so eevents may take place..BMD events say at Hayfield where the participant is described as "of New Mills" or vice versa.....My own family research came to a halt at 1737 precisely becasue of those three words......However I'm sure that between us we'll crack it....with the girls on your side too..it's the "A" Team you're dealing with here!!

Have found the John turner Birth at hayfield....that Janey gave you....may be as close as you're going to get......I'll look at the local Censuses for you.

EDIT Hayfield Census 1841 has the Turner family mentioned above ..Dad is a Butcher???

Pauline, whilst Turner is a name common to many places, I am not aware of any particular affilitation of the Turner family in Hayfield. There are other names which are far more prolific.

Madmeg Report 22 Apr 2010 21:24

No Disley Road currently exists in Hayfield, nor can I find any mention of it in history. Nor in any of the neigbouring towns/villages. Hayfield has three connecting roads, to Glossop (Glossop Road - I was born in Glossop), to New Mills (New Mills Road - I was brought up in New Mills), and to Chapel en le Frith (Chapel Road). Go from Hayfield to New Mills (alond New Mills Road) and the road splits - left (oops, right!) to Disley (but it isn't Disley Road, it is Buxton Road, and is Buxton Road to the right (oops, left) also towards Whaley Bridge - where I now live).

In fact no Disley Road springs to mind at all. I suppose in the distant past there might have been a Disley Road from Charlesworth, but not from Hayfield.

Is this the 1891 family?

Phoside is definitely in Hayfield. Pollypocket, there's no mention of Disley Road on Ancestry - where did you get yours from?

PS I've got some idea now of how to go about using the batch number on the Mormon site. This is new to me, but guess we all start somewhere. Anyway got excited following Janey's instructions & I've established John Turner's parents are William & Anne, & found many of John's siblings.Just so sad that so many babies died, within a few months of birth, what a tragedy each time.

Hello Madmeg [what a name!!]

Thanks for your contribution, It is so good that you come from the area, makes you rather special!I Guess the Turner family have been in the Hayfield area for hundreds of years, but I am trying to work back from John born 1836. I don't need any info on his son Fritz & wife Eva's immediate family [my Grandparents] so if there has been overlap I'm sorry, was not my intention.

Would it have been just the road going to Disley?

Disley, Cheshire, seems to come into this.

Derek, I assume Janey has bookmarked you (as I have - surprise, surprise), though I do often marvel how people get to thread references so rapidly.

About time we had a thread about somewhere other than London. I was brought up in New Mills, half my mother's rellies came from/lived in Hayfield, and I'm only about 4 miles away. I know there's a Spring Villas, but there's never been a Disley Road in Hayfield to my knowledge.

I got this by googling:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1217745

About Fritz Adolphus. Pauline, it's better to just have one thread on the same family, we can help so much more easily.

And another google hit:

http://www.curiousfox.com/history/derbyshire_24.html

Derek, there was also Graham Hadfield's site - Jigrah - he passed it on to someone else, do you know who? It was full of miscellaneous fascinating stuff about Glossop/Hayfield etc.

Oh! you guys are awesome!!!

I've just got to my computer this am & was so glad to see Derek is already in the swim, too. Hello, Derek! Thanks for joining in! I'm thinking I'll need a Masters to do what you all seem to handle so well.

Perchino. Thanks for the advice. I didn't know there is so much free stuff out there. The Derbyshire records will be a great place to search.

Where did you come from?

Did Pauline follow the directions ... or was this already a duplication ... ?

You find the address up at the top of your screen in the white line, where the gibberish starting out "http://" is.

All you really need is the numbers after the = sign at the end; this one is 1217747 (ignore anything after that starting with & if it's there, like on the page number, or after you've posted it will say "jump" something).

Well, ordinarily you do. Because with that number, you just delete the number for the thread you're in (up in that address line), type the one you want, and hit Enter. But I know that's like speaking Japanese and playing the didgeridoo, for many who read this site ...
