The book gives the names and addresses of private residents and commercial proprietors who lived in and around Burton-on-Trenr in 1864. Although the data is taken from the Staffordshire Post Office Directory of 1864, this is not a facsimile copy. The type has been reset in a modern font to make reading easier. In addition, a ‘classified’ section has been added so that historians can quickly see the trades in the town in that year. Public houses are listed in alphabetical order and in another section the publicans are listed in order of their surname.
Extracts from Deacon’s Cheshire Court Guide and County Blue Book of 1886 list the people who lived in the area encompassed by Acton, Audlem, Buerton, Crewe, Hankelow, Nantwich, Titley, Weston, Wistaston, Wrenbury and Wybunbury.
The Staffordshire village of Audley is pleasantly situated on a commanding eminence, 5 miles north-west from Newcastle-under-Lyme. This extract from the 1864 Post Office Directory list the people who lived there and the surrounding area in that year. The original directory was produced to assist in the addressing of mail and each of the villages and hamlets had their own alphabetical list. The current book is aimed at the modern genealogist and therefore all the lists have been amalgamated so that a surname can quickly be found for a person living anywhere in the area.
This slim volume concentrates on the 66 members of the family who lived in north Shropshire and the research has covered 45 parishes in that area. The electronic version of this book covers over 200 parishes throughout Shropshire and Staffordshire.
Also included are surnames with the variant spelling: Grimley, Grindall, Grindley, Grindle, and Grinlye.
This book is not simply a copy of the original. For one thing it uses a larger and more modern font. Another innovation is a classified section to help local historians in their research. And for genealogists there is an alphabetical listing of all the people mention in the original plus a note on where to find additional material.

The Baker family described in this booklet lived in north Shropshire and south Cheshire, specifically around Nantwich, Wybunbury and Woore. Mucklestone is mentioned but the church boundaries do not conform to the civil boundaries and people born in the Shropshire village of Woore were in the past baptised in Mucklestone even though the church was in Staffordshire. These research notes, collected by Nancy Lindop, have been compiled and edited by Geoffrey Lindop. Only the obvious conclusions have been drawn and no assumptions have been made. Because of this, some duplication of some entries have been made so that the reader may draw the conclusion or formulate a working hypothesis.
This book lists details of the eighty-six members of the Hampton family that are recorded in the Mucklestone Parish Register between 1555 and 1649. Mucklestone (or Mucclestone as it is sometimes spelt) is situated in north Staffordshire about 4 miles north-east of Market Drayton.
