Find Ancestors

My Great Grandfather was a gardener. He married my Gt Grandmother in Nantwich and had 3 children there. Their abode on the baptism records says 'Hatherton' which I have discovered is a hamlet? Is there a Hatherton Hall or something where he may have been employed? I would be interested to find out if they had any records of him, if there was/is.

Thanks.

Try Google to see if it existed/exists

Hi Shirley. I have googled and it mentions a Hatherton House but I just wondering whether we had any Cheshire residents on Genes who may be of more help. :)

They were living in the areas of Hatherton/Alsager and Nantwich between 1892 and 1900. As a gardener, would there have been any Estates where he may have been employed?

Go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html and enter the coordinates 368400,347200 - Hatherton Hall exists on the oldest map there (1876) thru today.

EDIT 400m to E is now The Laurels - Laurels Farm in 1909, but unnamed earlier. It, too, looks like a big house in the earlier maps.
Hatherton House is at 367700,348400
Hatherton Manor is at 368000,348800
Park House is at 368400,347900.

OS coordinates measure the easting and northing in metres from a zero datum point abt 80km W of Bishops Rock lighthouse in the Scilly Isles.

On a modern map at http://www.streetmap.co.uk/ search for just one of these 13 character strings and go to zoom level 3 (if you're not already there). The blue grid lines are 1km apart, and the arrow-head's coordinates are embedded in the URL.

Hatherton Hall
The village of Hatherton was claimed by William Wallhouse during the reign of James I (regnum 1603-1625) who built the first Hatherton Hall of timber and brick just north of the village. The fabric of the Hall was rebuilt in stone in the Gothic style by Moreton Wallhouse in 1817. It resides within its own parkland at the south-western periphery of the Cannock Chase AONB surrounded by ancient oaks, beech and chestnut, with the greatest concentration of mature and veteran trees in the meadows of the eastern part of the park.

Interestingly, the Great Western Railway Co. introduced the 'Hall' Class 4-6-0 Steam Locomotives in 1922, of which, engine #4932 named 'Hatherton Hall' was built in June 1929 and decommissioned in November 1964. And for those amongst you who believe in such paranormal activities, Hatherton Hall also supposedly houses its own ghost in the form of Sir Hugh de Hatherton, a former lord of the manor who has been seen wandering the hall at night dressed in a cloak and who once gate-crashed a party held at the Hall to reclaim his own skull, which was being used as a beer-mug in a drinking game.
