General Interest LettersGlass factory in Alsager? - James Bonsall (13 Jun 02)I'm an archaeologist and recently found a glass bottle with 'Alsager' marked on the base. Was there a glass factory in the town, and are there any contact details that you might be able to furnish me with - local historians or current factory if it still exists?

Email: James@Earthsound.freeserve.co.uk Hemming family (12 Jun 02)I am looking for information about the Hemming family. Charles Hemming lived at Sunnyside, Alsager. He died August 22nd 1900. He was Verger at Christ Church for over 30 years. He is buried at Christ Church. Is there any way I can find out if he and his wife Mary Overton were local people or moved to Alsager from elsewhere in England. Any help on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.Flo Hemming Email: hemming@goeaston.net Postcards for Miss Louie Owen, The Wood, Alsager (12 Jan 02)Dear Sir /MadamI have for a long time had in my possession a number of old postcards(approx100) addressed to a Miss Louie Owen, The Wood, Alsager. They appear to be from her parents sent from all parts of europe and the holy land and dated 1909. I doubt she is still alive but wondered if she had any relatives who would like to have the postcards. (Her parents may have been clergy). My first query is what is or was The Wood ? a house, boarding school. Can you give me any sort of lead or put me in contact with anyone who may be able to shed some light on the subject. your faithully Mr A Taylor Email: taylors@level9.co.uk Website visit (27 Oct 01)Really good web site thanks.

We stayed at the Holly Trees for our vacation, it was a great place to stay. Alsager and the Potteries looked so nice and green, people were very friendly, the pubs and the food were so good. We went to the Wilbraham Arms on two Thursday evening, we also had supper a few times at the Plough Inn. We enjoyed shopping at the co-op and the post office. We especially enjoy the fish and chips from the Chip store in Alsager and Kidsgrove. My husband came from Talk Pitts, I came from Basford, we found staying in Alsager was very convenient to the main highways, and the beautiful country side. It was so nice to be called "luv and duck" again. Eric and Christine Holford.

Previous trip to Alsager - Kevin Geiger (14 Apr 01)Hi, my name is Kevin Geiger, I traveled to Alsager approximately 15 years ago to visit a friend that played on my football team when I was in Canada. I now live in Denver, Colorado in the United States. The reason for my email is to find out if anyone knows the whereabouts or how to contact the friends that I made so long ago in Alsager. The first gentlemen's name is Neil Ford. It was at his house that I stayed during my month long visit. We have lost touch. Secondly, there was a convenience store owned by a family I made friends with at the time. The kids at that time were about 16 years old and were named Hazel and Phillip.If you could be any help it would greatly be appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

My mother was born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent and most recently one of my great aunt's lived in Alsager. I have since been informed that my aunt, Jessica Bennett, has passed away. As my mother is no longer living, it is difficult to obtain information as to relatives who may continue to live in the Alsager area. How might I go about obtaining this information with regards to Jessica Bennett? Might there be a way of contacting friends that may have known of her ? I know that she lived at 53 Ivy Lane. I would appreciate any information or suggestions you may have to offer. Thank you,
