Hi! I am not from Stoke originally, but my husband came from Stoke and we lived there or in that area for quite a few years. We lived in Hanley, Bucknall and Porthill for a while. I worked at Chatfield's Garage in Hanley for a few years and enjoyed my time there. I hope a few more add to the list. Sylvia now in Perth Western Australia

Hiya, I'm not from Stoke, but my in-laws now live in Bucknell, we were up there yesterday and I got to do what I love doing up there, going round Hanley, shopping, I love the old fashioned shopping towns and Hanley is brilliant. Ginny you say you are from Madeley, is that the Madeley in Staffs or Madeley in Shropshire? Helen

My ancient folks were from Burslem. Cannot find out whether one of the females was formerly 'Potter' or that was an occupation. Just another brick-wall/ Happy days
