Re: Samuel Eardley (born 1853 in Staffordshire England)

peterdzik — 2008-12-03 16:27:11Z

hi Donna,
As your Samuel in the census shows birth at Smallthorne, which is on the boundary of Burslem and Norton parishes in Stoke on Trent, he only matches one born in 1847 . Parents seem to be Joseph and Mary (Holdcroft ), married 1844 at Burslem. His father is dead by 1851 census, but Samuel has two brothers, John and Joseph. Can't find him till 1891, nor any marriage. Possibly he was abroad in army or navy. Mary's listed birthplace of Silverdale is a few miles west of Smallthorne, past Newcastle.
The name Samuel Eardley is frequent, going back to the first one born 1648, died 1727. You should look at all the data on website Eardley.org to help out, esp. sue Parker's geneaology section.

Re: Yardley/Eardley

Thanks for the promotion ; you'll find the revised essay posted in May with 50% more facts and pinpointing when the first Eardley names appeared in Staffordshire. My intention is to do a second article centred on William Yardley of Horton and Bucks county, with immediate predecessors and siblings relatives.
I note Karen Patterson refers to a Samuel Eardley Will, which perhaps should have read April 1727 ( I didn't get a copy). This is the unknown younger brother of William Yardley (1632 - 1693) of Pennsylvania, and why so many Samuels appear in the Eardley/Yardley geneaologies.

Hello Lonnie,

Thanks for your reply. My William Yardley was from Horton in the UK although there may be some connection way back.

Have you read Peter Dzik's Eardley history at the following page?

Hello,

My name is Lonnie Yardley Alitz. Was your Grand or Great Grand Fathers name Black Bill or Red Bill? My Great- Great Grand fathers name was William, Black Bill, When I asked my father why they called them that he said it was the color of their hair.
Some how they moved From KY to Green County MO. There is a book out about the families of Green County and Black and Red Bill are in it. There is also a Cemitary for the Yardleys in Greed County MO. Any info you could give me would be grateful. If I've helped you I'm very happy.

Sarah A. Eardley m Samuel (John) Jackson 1852 Hereford

lake18 — 2006-08-12 14:20:47Z

I am looking for information on (Samuel) John Jackson. I have seen the name listed as both Samuel J. Jackson (1861 census) and as John Jackson (1871 census). I believe they are the same person. Both entries were living in Hereford.

I have the 1861 Census where he was married to a Sarah A. Jackson, with several children: Fanny, Charles, *Elizabeth*, Samuel J, Ellen....and in the 1871 Census....Kate, Jessie, Lucy, Wyllie, and Pearsey. All children being born in Hereford.

I would be interested in finding Samuel (John) Jacksons parents or siblings, and his wife's (Sarah A) Maiden name. I believe they [b]may have been[/b] been married in Sept Qtr/1852, with Sarah being Sarah Eardley (Pg 757 Hereford district). Sarah A. may have been born in Gloustershire (Ewley?) around 1833.

I am also trying to confirm that the Elizabeth listed above (b 1855) is the Elizabeth Gertrude Jackson who married Edward Barsley (b 1856) in Aug 1878 in Atherton.

I have found both Edward and Elizabeth Gertrude Barsley in the 1881-1901 Census, living both in Lancashire and Monmouthshire. I know these are the correct persons I am tracing.

Bedson Eardley, son of Edward, and brother of John, Utah, USA

SHERIRAE — 2006-04-04 21:17:11Z

Brent,
My great-grandfather was Bedson Eardley, son of Edward, and brother of John. I have recently completed a book about my great grandfather Bedson and his descendants, but I included chapters on Bedson's brothers John, James and Edward who also immigrated to Utah from Staffordshire, England. I have had trouble getting it printed due to computer problems and my health, but plan to print it in August. Email me if you would like a copy. I am asking $30 to cover the cost of printing. None of John's descendants have responded to my letters. John set up one of the first pottery manufactories in Salt Lake and was then called to the Dixie Mission to set up a pottery there. He was also the leader of the Eardley Band in both Salt Lake and St. George. I have been researching our family for 20 years and have been working on this book for 10.

Re:Bedson and James Eardley, and John Cartwright

SHERIRAE — 2006-04-04 21:17:11Z

I will be printing a family history book about Bedson Eardley in January. Included is a chapter about the Eardley pottery in Salt Lake with mentions of John Cartwright as a partner. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to research into John's life, so his name is mentioned only in context with the pottery business. (I think I also mention his name in the chapter about the Eardley brothers conversion in Swadlincote and as members of the Wooden Box branch.) Hope this helps. Merry Christmas, Sheri Slaughter

Eardley book

SHERIRAE — 2006-04-04 21:17:11Z

Shirley,
The Eardley book is currently at the printers and will go to the bindery on Monday February 26. It should take about two weeks at the bindery so it should be ready about March 12. The book mainly is about my great grandparents Bedson Eardley and Mary Ann Holding (their family and descendants). But as I mentioned, their is a chapter on each of Bedson's brothers (with a few of their descendants). There is a chapter on the Eardley pottery in Salt Lake which Bedson, John and James ran together until John went to St. George and James went into the Grocery business. If you would like a copy ($35), please E-mail me at <ridgwlkr@aros.net> and I can give you my address, phone #, etc. Sheri

Hi Helen,
It's my understanding that there were two Staffordshire Samuel Eardleys that came to Trenton. My Samuel had a son Frank, Frank then had a son Frank, which would be my Uncle. Three generations. My Uncle Frank was
born around 1910. If you come across anything on this family, please send it to me.I'll do the same, thanks

Hi Helen,
Seen your posting, this must be the same Samuel Eardley related to my family. Did he marry Hannah Coxon who was born 1866 and died 1912. Many of the Coxons were potters. My gggrandfather is Charles Coxon, Hannah's father. Hannah's sister Ann Coxon married Henry Smith,he too was a coalminer and came to Trenton NJ and worked at the potteries.
Hope to hear from you soon, thanks,

Eardley/Yardley

2004-01-16 02:02:23Z

Karen, The T is right next to the Y.I'm here to learn about my family tree.I had never heard of the Eardly part. Only the Yardley. As I said in earlier messages my family came from Yardley, PA and now I find out Bucks county to Sllivan County,Mo around Green City and Milan. My Grandfather and Grandmother are buried in a private Yardley Cemetery outside Green City, MO. I want to find out about the Book that is printed on the Families of Sullivan CO., MO. If I remember right it is the best I've read on the Yardley's and I find out now there might have been a Brother that no one knew about until lately. So thanks for sharing your interesting story why they changed the name.

We are researching Ann Eardley, possibly from Hanley or nearby, who married Enoch Bourne (possibly b. Tunstall abt 1835) They are on the 1860 Census for Rahway NJ. Enoch later moved to East Liverpool OH and after his first wife's death, married Ann Moore. The only child of the second marriage was Enoch George Bourne, my gf. (b. 1878 in East Liverpool, d. 1948)

Hi Lori I think you and Helen may have this Samuel in common . I noticed you wrote her also ,so she will probably get back to you soon . I have writter to her and we have determined that my Samuel is not the same . I found my Great Uncle Samuel stayed in England . I have been in touch with his gggrand son Alan . They were fron Burslem area . My gg grand father was William . That seems to be a very common name in the Eardley clan . His father was also William .
Have you looked at the Trenton Directorys at

Well, the best of luck in your search. If you find your Yardley roots take you to Staffordshire England, let me know. I just returned 2 weeks ago, my second trip there.
And, since I don't live too far from Bucks County, PA, if you need anything let me know.
I believe my local library in Lancaster Co. PA has Buck Co. information.

P.S. I forgot to mention that I have a will of one Samuel Yardley of Horton, STS, dated 1735. Someone must of taught him to sign his name, and yes, he signed it Samuel Eardley, childish in nature, but ledgible!!

Eardley/Yardley

kromeo2543 — 2004-01-16 02:02:00Z

There are several reasons for this change.
First of all, most coal miners and potters were illiterate, so writtings depended on the clergy of the church. In my case, I have Yardleys (from Norton-le-moors, mid 1700s) that moved to Smallthorne where Eardley's existed. It was a natural transition for the priest to make. And, I would like to point out that YOU mistyped Yardley!!!!
