Research

Benthall, the next adjoining parish west (to Madeley), had two large earthenware manufactories, one of which is carried on by Mr. John Bell, and the other by John Thursfield, a Quaker. So quite a population heavy area at this time. There are several generations of John Hartshornes in the records not sure which is his father.
