In Response To: Yahoo email group (Michael J. Eardley)

Hello I have requested permission to subscribe to your group. I am keen to link up with anyone who may have a connection to my great great grandmother Margaret Eardley.

Margaret married James Skidmore on the 2nd September 1838 at Harborne in the county of Stafford. Her father’s name was Joseph Eardley and he was deceased at the time of her wedding. The marriage certificate states that she was 21 when she married; therefore I estimate that she was born circa 1816/17. However, when she died the 19th January 1879, her age was given as 65, which would indicate that she was born circa 1814. The couple had 11 children, all of whom were baptised in Brierley Hill. It has been suggested that Margaret originated from either Shifnal or Madely in Shropshire, and was baptised at Donnington Wood, but I do not know upon what evidence this possibility is based.

Bye for now
