History
- Details
When we purchased Ladymoor Gate Farm in 1988 this area it was not required to register with the Land Registry and the conveyance was completed with an large bundle of documents. In the early 2000's following the redemption of our morgage we decided to voluntarily register and we requested that the bundle of deeds be returned. The documents provided a detailed history of the owners and tenants from the 1870s to the 1920s. In addition I also tracked down copies of older records which I have listed below.
I hope they are of some interest to genealogist who may have ancestors who lived here, local historians or simply anyone who is interested in this part of Staffordshire.

Census transcripts
Our starting point in researching the history of the farm was the census returns. These provided us with names which we could then further research in various archives including births, deaths and marriages, rates books, electoral rolls, probate records and even old newspapers.
Transcripts of the census entries we used to compile the history of the previous occupants of Ladymoor Gate are provided in the links below. The links are also available in the sidebars of the pages for each of the individual families.

I think it is natural that when you live in an old house you wonder about its history. Who built it, who lived in it and how has it eveloved and developed over the years. It provides continuity and connection with the past and a reminder that the future will continue when we have gone.
Combining this curiosity with our genealogy research we have dug into the archives to find out who lived here during the nineteenth century. In this we were greatly assisted when we finally registered the property and took possession of the old deeds.
In this section we have presented the information we found and provided copies of the actual historical documents we obtained.
