Charles Bagnall ²

  General Notes:

From http://www.staffsia.org.uk/sandon.htm ........From 1831 until 1834 the Mill appears to have been run by Jeremiah Ginders for Lord Talbot., with John Mellor as mill worker. Jermiah Ginders lived at the Mill House, now Sandon Villa from at least 1834 when his son Charles was baptised at Sandon. John Mellor had been living at the Mill since at least 1814, when his son John was baptised, so presumably he worked for Sampson Handley. The mill was grinding Cornwall Stone and Flint, and paying for Coal; Chirt and £25 worth of Chirt Stone Pavers; Ropes; Bucket Leathers, Repairing pump with leather buckets, bucket leathers for flint pump; for Iron Baskets and Birch for Baskets; Iron hoop iron - possibly for barrels; "Wharfage of Flint Tubs with slop flint at Etruria Wharf", and a "full cargo of slop flint carried to Meir & Goodfellows before tubs were made for use of Sandon Mill" as recorded in the accounts. Charles Bagnall was the Limeburner at this time. He married Elizabeth Dix in 1806 and they had at least 8 children. In 1827 and 1830 he is listed as living at Enson, and in the 1841 Census he was a labourer living at Skeath House, Salt. By 1841 Sandon Mill was occupied by George Mellor, miller, his wife and their 7 month old son, and in 1851, 1861 and 1862 he is described as a flint grinder. George was probably the son of John Mellor who had died in 1836, aged 60............

Charles married Elizabeth Dix, daughter of Thomas Dix and Martha Deval, on 26 Oct 1806 in Sandon, Stafford.¹ (Elizabeth Dix was christened on 2 Jul 1786 in Sandon, Stafford ³.)
