This site is for anyone interested in Mobberley and its history. Under threat from excessive development, the growth in motor traffic and the proximity of Manchester Airport, Mobberley nevertheless hangs on to many links with its past whether through its families, its houses or its local organisations and traditions. Before it's too late this site aims to bring together and share a range of information both for its preservation and to encourage interest in the village.
Much of the family information is deduced from the transcription of the Mobberley Censuses from 1841 to 1911 alongside the Cheshire BMD (Births, Marriages, Deaths) information sourced via the link found on the Family History Society of Cheshire Website. Sometimes such connections are obvious and clear but dates of birth and names can vary considerably. The section on families in Mobberley should be treated with an element of caution as further research may be required either to confirm or amend links between families. Any confirmation or correction will be welcolmed from those who have more detailed knowledge.
There's a lot to upload and as material is discovered or supplied, the site will continually develop.
