In 1911 there were eight Bracegirdle households - today possibly only one. In 1841 there was only one family, living in Lady Lane: Samuel and Elizabeth, both born around 1801 in Mobberley. Their address was in subsequent census years described as Hough Lane, Cindered Lane and Davenport Lane. It's possible all of these were the same actual location. They had a number of children and it looks like Samuel born around 1838-1841 married Hannah and lived at Paddock Hill. Their son James born in 1879 married Annie Elizabeth Frost in 1910 and settled initially at least in Moss Lane.
Mary Bracegirdle (nee Green) born in 1841 had returned , widowed , to Mobberley in Knolls Green by 1901 where she lived with two grandsons: George Frederick (born in Plumley in 1888) and Percy (born in Hale 1891). George was still with her in 1911.
A Bracegirdle family arrived at Hollin Gee before 1881 from Handforth. Their son James Robert, born in Handforth in 1870 married Mary Ellen Bracegirdle (from the Ashley family now at Yarwood House) in 1899 and lived at Moss Farm where by 1911 they had four children.
Two households traced their line back to a family that arrived from Ashley to Yarwood House in `1871. John and Harriet (Burgess) lived there throughout the rest of the censuses although John had died in 1908. Harriet 's three youngest children were still with her. Martha married James Wright in 1916. Henry married Edna Hough in 1917. Not sure if Emily, born in 1885, married. Their brother James, born in 1876, married Margaret and took on Stock-in-hey farm.
Abraham and Dorothy Bracegirdle arrived around 1886 and lived at Pepper Street. They were from Marthall and Great Warford but their elder children were born at Morley and then Alderley. They moved to Spring Bank before 1911.
Finally, George Bracegirdle lived at Brookside, New Mills in 1911 with his niece Edith from Ashley. George and his wife Mary moved from Ashley to Pepper Street after 1861 but George was widowed soon after and had to bring up his five children with the help of grandparents.
