Ancestors

Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandparents:

Henry Mortimore was a paper maker from Devon who married Fanny Dandy in 1807 in Exeter. They had two daughters and four sons including my great³ grandfather Peter Lindsay Mortimore who was a paper maker in Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire.

William Salis lived for some part of his life in Bristol and had two sons Joseph and John and three daughters, Martha, Ann and Jane. Both sons entered the army and my great³ grandfather John Salis joined the 13^th light dragoons in 1828. On retirement John moved with his wife Hannah to Henley in Arden where they ran the Bird-in-Hand Public House. His daughter Hannah later ran the Vine Tavern in Hurst Street in Birmingham. He and his wife and daughter are all buried in the St Nicholas Church, Beaudesert. In 1867, three years after the death of Joseph Salis, his wife Sarah together with her children changed the family name to De Salis which they declared to be the original and proper family name (see document copy). 

John Clarke was a miner from the Dudley area of the Black Country.

John Massey was a labourer from the Runcorn area of Cheshire. His son Joseph was a police inspector in the Everton district of Liverpool and in 1842 he discovered the great Crompton Street fire.

William Godderidge was born in Tamworth in 1748 and died there in 1811.
