I live in the USA and my family comes from Poynton, England.  My great great grandfather was Joseph Higginbotham born April 6, 1846 and my great great grandmother was Selina Fletcher born in March 1848.  They were married in 1867 and moved to the United States in 1869.  If anyone can tell me if there is still any family living in the area or how I can find any information out about the Higginbotham and Fletcher families I would appreciate it.

My grandmother was Kate Turnock who was born in Poynton in 1878. Her fathers name was George and mothers name was Ann Elizabeth. Her father was a coalman I believe. I'm searching for any information on the family before 1878 mainly brothers and sisters and birth, marriage and death dates. Also are any members of the Turnock family still living in Poynton ? Any information you have will be appreciated.

Have just discovered this interesting site.  While visiting cousins in the UK in August we decided to try to find  Elm Beds Cottages in Poynton where my great great grandfather lssac Hallam lived.  Not only did we find the house with the help of a kind local gentleman walking along the tow path, but were delighted to discover a distant relation (7th cousin) in residence!  Very exciting for this visitor from Tasmania.

Hi there. This is a message for Malcolm Dooley. John (Johnny Johnston) is my husband. I met him in London in 1980 and married him in 1981. I was backpacking from Australia so he moved with me back to Australia in 1983 and has lived here ever since. We have 2 boys aged 16 and 13.I'm sure he would be interested in any memories you may have from Poynton.

 Hope this is what you were looking for.

According to my brother, the family geneologist, we are descended from a younger son of the Warren family who left Poynton in the 1600's and emigrated to Maryland. His descendants moved to Virginia, and my great great grandfather moved west to Tennessee, where we now live. His grandfather had lived on a plantation called Poynton in Virginia.
I will be in Cheshire in November and would like to visit Poynton and meet any Warren family members who might still be living in the area.

I'm currently researching the Poynton area for a University dissertation.  Can anyone remember the name of a Butchers/Fruit & Veg store on Park Lane in the mid 50's.  Apparently the owner was sacked for cleaning his meat and veg in the window (hygiene regulations) - and it was the talk of the town.

An ancestor of mine Betty Eccles lived at Eight Houses Poynton in 1851. Does anyone know if this is still in existence or has it long since been demolished?
Her husband, Robert Eccles was a schoolmaster in 1841. Were there schools in Poynton at that time?
If so, are records available?

Great site. used to live in Adlington but came to poynton for piano lessons in late fifties, early sixties. Cant remember the ladies name but lived with mother in a cottage on rh side of main road just before Adlington and near big black and white house now an old people's home. Cottage still there at Christmas when i last visited the area.  My parents and sister later lived poynton for many years. like everywhere else Poynton has certainly changed over the years-probably Co-op, Tweedales hairdressers which my mother went to until 3 years ago, and post offfice are only remainders from 1960's.

Does anyone knoe Tony Preston who lived at 5 Hepley Road, Poynton, Stockport, Cheshire circa 1970?  I was his Scottish penpal and lost contact with him many moons ago but I have fond thoughts of him always and would like to get in contact with him again.  I would like to know what he is doing now and to tell him that I am still singing and have a very successful band and am now a lawyer.  I would like to know how his life turned out.  He had a lovely sister called Gillian.  Perhaps someone remembers the family.
He did invite me to come to Poynton, but at that time I could not, but I have been since, although I only passed through, I really enjoyed myself.  Lovely place.
Kind Regards from Bonnie Scotland

We have lived in Poynton for seven years and are very happy here.

At times we feel a little isolated because we lived in South Africa fore many years. (It is hard to make friends when you are an outsider)

Is there anyone out there that has lived in S.A. and would like to reminise about the "good old days"
We would love to hear from you.

I left Poynton around 1965 and as you can see by the web site now residing in OZ but I was amazed at how many names I remembered in your visitors book, probably due to delivering papers for Claytons news agency for many years. A great place to grow up with such attractions as the slag heaps, sand quarry and the Derbyshire hills all close by to explore. PS  does any one know the whereabouts of Rod Cole from Higher Poynton last known heading for Canada.

Hi,

This is an excellent site - I have seen the photos and used the re-uinted section to try to find my old friends, the Hills and the Hunts.

I knew Poynton well in the 1960s/70s when I spent much of my school holidays there. My Mother was born in Poynton - at the same house my (Great) Aunt lived in. ["Croysdale", 58, Chester Road]. My Aunt was Miss Iris (Bunt) Butterworth and my Mother, Mrs Della Cooksey Jones (Nee French).

It was tremendous to see Fountain Place on the front page - going to and from Poynton I used to catch the joint Ribble/Trent X1 (Manchester-Derby) Bus Service from just next to bernie White's Chemist there.

The Church has mixed memories for me - tyhe Butterworth family grave is there (I must visit it again soon!) but my Aunt was knocked-down there when going to Christmas Midnight Mass in 1966. Her broken leg recovered and with her usual spirit, she pottered on until she became too ill to continue living in her large house and joined us in Derby (that was 1982).

I used to walk with my Aunt from Higher Poynton (by the new Marina, as it was then) to Lyme Hall at Disley. 9My Aunt and my Nanna were born to James & Isabelle Butterworth in Higher Poynton)

If anyone has any old (or more new) photos about Poynotn I'd be fascinated.

I live down here in Hampshire (UK) now but Poynton is much closer to me than the 200 geographical miles.

Best wishes to you all, John French-Jones.

My 10th great grandmother Dorothy Poynton, born about 1577, somewhere around Northampton, was probably related to the Poyntons of Poynton Village. William Stone (1603-1659), the first governor of Maryland (USA) named his estate, Poynton Manor, after his mother Dorothy Poynton. If anyone in the Village has any information on the history of Poynton Village I would love to hear from you. Thank you.

I received a drawing of Poynton Church and rememembered that my great-great grandfather John Greenhalgh and his wife Isabella are buried in the churchyard. I recall visiting a relation in about 1936 just after the last colliery closed and that there were various relatives still living there.  I wonder if any current residents have links to the descendants of John and Isabella Greenhalgh who died in 1893 and 1902 respectively. I have quite a lot of the family tree but not of the Poynton families.

I was in Poynton a few weeks ago, for a lovely holiday. Lucky me, three weeks of sunshine, only one day of showers.

I really had a great, great holiday. Loved the area, loved the place.. except the crossing near the church. First time I arrived there.. ouch.. nightmare.

I would love to come back, do another one of those quiznights in the Farmers Arms or in the Hydes Hare & Hounds.

I live in New Zealand, but remember the happy times just after the war, my dad had just got back from the army,and to our surprise bought a ex army bell tent and we put it up on Miss Sheldons farm. We had many happy weekends and school holidays at Higher Poynton,plus all the fish you could eat. Happy Happy Days. Bryan Davies.nz.

Ed and I lived in Poynton from 1972 to 1978 and of all the places we have lived, Poynton was my very favourite spot.  On a visit to England last year we had a day in the area and I could have moved right back in to our old house on Buckingham Road.  If anyone in the area remembers us, we'd love to hear from you.

May I suggest to the last entrant, perhaps he should try Blackpool if it's attractions he wants!!! Poynton is full of many nice places to go, and see. How odd that he would think a resturant is the only place worth a visit!! The words life, and get a, spring to mind.

i have visited a famous restaurant in Poynton, which is called the Deeba. This fine establishment promoted this site and also Poynton. the only bad thing is that there are no other attractions in Poynton therefore the only reason to visit this place is to the Deeba.

I remember the name Warburton in Poynton. There was a lady who owned a shop at Hockley,top of Park Lane,(I think it was a cake shop).Can't remember her first name, but do remember that she was Auntie to Barbara Burton and Marjorie who lived in Dicken's Lane. Burton's at one time took over the 'Corner Cafe'at Poynton Church. Small world isn't it.

Found this site a few weeks back and logged on to see what was happening in my "old town". I am the brother of Pat Stagg who has left a message on this site. I thought we moved to Poynton In 1963 our kid! Could be wrong.

Anita Rogers, did you have a brother called Chris? I seem to remember a Chris Ottley from my young days.

I live in Australia, have been here since 1968. Married at St Georges but divorced and re-married. Lovely to read about Poynton as I have so many happy memories of the place.

John Bann, Chris Thomas and your brother Graham...where are you now.

Great site. Keep it up.

I have just scrolled down the page and read the comments on the website. also saw an early one of mine. I am hoping to visit PoyntonSept.15th. after a 30 year absence. I know I shall find it changed but I'm really excited to see it again. I was born there many years ago and left in 1948 to live in Bournemouth. Married there and have lived in the U.S.A most of my married life. Do hope I will see some of my old class mates for the short time I will be there. There is a message from a Warbutton, if she would like to contact me I think I may have some information on someone in her family. Unfortunately I didn't see an address to reply to. Write to my e.mail address. Looking forward to seeing my old "village".

Visiting this site made me remember the old times when i lived in Poynton. My family moved to Poynotn 1986 and we were the only Japanese family in the village. I remember a pciture of my sister and i being hung in a photo sshop in the village. I've been able to visit Poynton a couple of times since leaving but everytime i have visited i feel like i'm at home since some buildings just never change. But i am suprised by some of the big changes that have been made though. Anyway i hope to have a chance to go back there again soon to visit.

Our decision to join in the early days has been well worth it. We have received not only sound advice

! can not tell you how many times I have thought of you wonderful people of Poynton through the years. We were so lucky  to live in Poynton in 1984 and 5. My two children went to public school there. Their name"s are Trina and Gary  Corson.  Do any of you remember two little American children? Gary just sent me an E mail with this address. What fun to see the church and what wonderful memories we have of the butcher store, veg stand behind the church, Post office were a nice lady gave my kids candy and the very kind doctor who I have learned has passed away. We all want to know if Berl ,I believe that is how she spells her name, who ran the vegetable shop with her husband and family is still alive. She told me when we left she would never Wright us but I have sent letters to her anyway and even stopped by a  few times when I was in Poynton through the years. We would love to hear she is alive and doing fine. That year she had a Christmas tree for us . We went out and bought lights which we gave to the new little school that the kids went to when we left to return to California. It was a sad day. Thank you for bing so kind and welcomeing . We were a long way form home. If any of you are ever in Northern California E mail us and we would love to show you around. We live in Chico north of Sacramento. Their are tears in my eyes thanks and please let us know about Berl My name is Sally

It was so interesting to find this website! I was born and brought up in Poynton, daughter of Arthur Webb and Edith Arnold and born at Midway Farm, Poynton. The farm was demolished many years ago and now there are large homes built there. Actually, there is a large council estate built on land that was owned by my dad. I emigrated to Canada about 36 years ago but have kept in touch with friends in Poynton over the years. I belonged to Poynton Tennis Club years ago! A friend of Pauline Barlow, Cathy Sheldon, cousin of Dorothy Hooley. I would love to hear from anyone who reads this and remembers me! Please e-mail me - it would be super to hear from you. I have very fond memories of Poynton, it has certainly grown since I lived there. My sister Kathleen lived there all her life, her married name was Kathleen Davenport. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who may remember me!

What a lovely suprise! I was born in Poynton, 1958. Daughter of Audrey (Dale) & Brian Jones. Attended Poynton Infant & Junior school. Now live in Lexington Virginia, USA. I am currently enrolled a full time student at Hollins University in Roanoke Virgina. Poynton has never left me. The village is woven into the fiber of who I am. I am in the process of writing a book centered around life in Poynton village. I came to the Poynton Web page as part of my research. What a delight it has been to discover the names of several class mates in the vistors book. With children of the village living in places such as Australia and the U.S, Poynton has become global community! I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me--Debra Quinn

Hello folks, I must be getting a little homesick. I lived in Poynton for the first 18 years of my life, and then for a few years after that. I miss nights out in the Farmers, and Fisher. Staggering home with a Take Out from the New Garden... Does anyone have info on Richard Moss (ran away to Canada to marry his childhood sweetheart). My other is still a District Nurse in Poynton! Give me a mention if you see her.. Cheers Tim
