Hello Mari
It would be great if we could arrange to meet up locally!
Your ancestor Frances Madeley née Smith was born in Sutton on the Hill, Derbyshire, in 1803, but I don't know anything about her ancestors. She married William Madeley (of Yoxall) in Sutton in 1834. William's ancestors were farmers in Yoxall from 1664; prior to that they were in Doveridge, Derbyshire.
That's all close to where I live, so I'd be happy to show you round. Give me a call on 0771 261 4175 when you know when you're able to get here. Lesley lives nearby as well.

Stephen

PS: I don't think there's any connection to Gnosall.

Hello Madeley Family,
I've been in touch with some of you before, I think (Lesley and Stephen?).
As it happens, I'm in England at the moment and may have a day when I could go up to Staffordshire and look around. Thought I would head to Gnosall and Yoxall, as that is where I gather (with some help from Lesley, Stephen and others and the 1851 and 61 census recordings) my Madeley family originated. I thought I'd try to take a peak at the Parish records of St. Lawrence Church in Gnosall. I've only got a day, but if there is information I can gather for you, I would be willing to try to fit it in. One person I'm trying to find out more about is the spouse of one of the William Madeleys (who seem to be legion). Her name was Frances and she was born in Sutton, Derbyshire in about 1803. If anyone knows more about her, that would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Mari

Hello. I have recently been passed a very large autograph book containing hundreds of signatures of the great and the good. In the course of researching the names, I came across your request for information about Frederick Madeley. He has signed this book giving his address as OX Hill, Handsworth. Its a strange book as it contains the signatures of royalty, industrialists, politicians etc. There is a column on the right hand side that gives the number of copies of an unknown book which has been ordered by the signee! I will keep on researching to unravel the mystery. My email address is crandaw@btinternet.com. Best wishes Andrew

Edward Hartshorn b 1896 in Mapperley Village

Neil_Hartshorn — 2009-04-14 16:48:35Z

Hi John
As you see my name is Hartshorn and Edward was my Grandfather, he died on January 15th 1961 and is buried in Stanley Common churchyard. He had a fascinating time in the first world war, suffice to say that if he hadn't got shot up the backside in France then i wouldn't be here writing this message.

Best regards Neil

Hi Nate,

I am tracking down family of Helen Adeline Grant (I think her sister is my ancestor). You mentioned that there are tombstones in the Madeley cemetery for in-laws of the Madeley's. Is there a transcription of the headstones for the cemetery somewhere online, or do you have information you could help me with?

The surnames I know of are Palmer, Grant, Smith, Boon(e) and Gem (could be Ginn, Gunn, Jaham).

Re: MADELEYs of Birmingham, England

2004-12-21 13:21:46Z

Hi Rita,

I'm not sure. My father's name is Lenord Percy Madeley and his father Percy Ampflet Madeley. He was one of nine children of Herbert Madeley, who died in 1910 and lived in Aston. My family line seems to go from back to Walsall, Wednesbury and then back to Salop (Wem and Cheswardine) in the 16th-18th century. My grandfather was the only one to live in Hall Green (Redstone Farm Rd - its near the golf club). His brothers and sisters lived in other districts on Birmingham between 1890- 1980.
Let me know if you need any other information.

Kind Regards
Graham Madeley

Re: MADELEYs of Birmingham, England

I am presently researching my husband’s family in Shropshire. The family name is Madeley. We have traced them back to a John Madeley and Charlotte Woodcock who married in Shawbury in 1827. As part of my normal procedure in such cases, I try to trace the family through appropriate census and pick up possible cousins, siblings and such. At present I am reviewing the 1851 and 1861 census for Shawbury and it is loaded with Madeleys. For each of the following,I have a photocopy of the actual census page.
!851 – Wem – Mary Madeley – age 60 – widow – born Wem
Wem – Thomas Madeley – 71 – Married – Wem – also wife and daughter
Wem – Mary Madeley – 27(?) – single – Wem – in workhouse
Northwood – William Madeley – 57 – Hamner – wife and 7 children 18 – 29
Northwood – Alfred Madeley – 1 – Wem –living in Brayne household next to above – condition bastard
Telstock – Thomas Madeley – 27 – Whitchurch – wife and child
Telstock – Thomas Madeley – 26 – Whitchurch – wife and child
Telstock – Thomas Madeley – 70 – Tight field(sp?) – wife
Telstock- Hannah Madeley – 78 – Wem – livng with gdaughter and her child
Ash Parva(sp?) – Eliza Madeley – 26 – servant – Whitchurch
Ash Magna – William Madeley – 24 – servant – Whitchurch
Alkington – Thomas Madeley – 18 – servant – Shrewsbury
Dodington – Elizabeth Madley – 46 – widow – C???a – with daughter, Daughter in law and grand daughter
Dodington – Eliza Madeley – 13 – servant – Wem
Clive – Ellen Madeley – 15 – servant – Acton Reynold – this one is mine***

I am a great-great grandson of George Bell Madeley. I don't have much information on him, except the basics (DOB, DOD etc.) Would LOVE to know where he is buried. My mother, who was his great-grandaughter, died in 1999. Her brother, William Zill Madeley is still alive and lives in Houston. I am bringing my GPS unit to Texas and will go to known cemetaries and get exact coordinates for graves, so if you know where he is buried, let me know.

Re: MADELEYs of Birmingham, England

2003-06-10 00:13:06Z

I have just received a photocopy of the research by Rev Frank Madeley, plus some other items including a fascinating diary by the wife of Rev Frank, the missionary in China. I think this may be of use to you as many seem to be from the areas you mention. Being a Shropshire Madeley it does not help me, but is fascinating to read, if rather disjointed. There are approx 70 pages and probably too poor quality to scan but I can photocopy.

They were in Handsworth (which was then in Staffordshire, now in Birmingham).

Re: American MADELEYs

kultureklub — 2007-11-18 22:34:29Z

I have done a lot of reserch into this Madeley line but still have not found a definite date or port of entry of immigration for George Bell and Hellen Adelane Grant-Madeley.

I have seen it mentioned several times that they immigrated to Texs about 1845. If this is correct, then it is highly likely that the port of entry was Galveston. The next two closest ports of entry would be New Orleans LA and Mobile AL.

Taxes were paid by George Bell Madely in Montgomery county 1846 and his first son (George Grant Madeley) was born in that county on Oct 05 1847.

There are 11 tombstone markers in the Madeley Cemetery of Montg. co. showing the Madeley name and all of them descend from George and Hellen. There are also many other in-law families buried there.

For fifty years, or until 1900, all the Madeley's in TX were descendants of George and Helen. Shortly after 1900 several other lines immigated to Texas from England OR relocated to Texas from othe states, each rooted in England as well.

I am very, very distantly related to these Madeleys :

The firstborn son of George and Hellen (mentioned above) was married to Mary Margaret McCaleb, the daughter of Jesse McCaleb and Darcus Cude. Darcus' mother was Serena Johnson and Serena was my gr-gr-gr-grandfather's sister, making Mary Margaret McCaleb my first cousin thrice removed.

Secondly, another of George and Hellen's sons (John York Madeley Sr) married Francis Louise "Fannie" McCaleb, sister to Mary Margaret. "Fannie" was a triplet.

Edward Davies *(76 years) father of Eliza Davies Madeley (29 years) was listed as head of household on British 1861 Census, he was listed as 'machine man'.
His son-in-law, Thomas Madeley (30 years) 'Bootmaker', and his two grandsons, William (7 years), and George (2 years) were also living with him.
They were living at Stocks Lane Welshampton Shropshire England

Thomas Madeley

karenwalker48 — 2004-10-28 22:34:50Z

The Thomas Madeley family lived in Salford Lancashire County England in the British 1871 Census
They lived in St. Louis Missouri in the 1900 Census.
Thomas died in 1918 and Eliza Davis Madeley died in 1923 in St. Louis.
If anyone knows about this family please contact me at:
karen_lou@earthlink.net

Thomas Madeley age 41 years born England Boot Maker
Wife, Eliza, age 39 years born England
Children:
1.) William, age 16 years born Lancashire Manchester
2.) George, age 12 years born Lancashire Manchester
3.) John, age 8 years born Lancashire Mancester
4.) Emily, age 4 years born Lancashire Salford
Liivng at: 157 Robert Hall Salford Lancashire England St. Bartholomew Parish

I believe that Thomas Madeley's parents were John & Jane Madeley; but I know nothing else about them. I also do not know what happend to the brother, William. He possibly married in England and stayed there.
Thomas & Eliza Madeley and their children, John, George, and Emily came to the United States about 1881 and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. John Madeley never married. George Madeley married Mary Lyons.
Emily Madeley married John Raines, and I am her great-granddaguther, through her daughter Edith Raines Hacker.
