(Esther) Jones of East Liverpool (great granddaughter of Esther Bloor). The Shone history was supplemented by information provided by Mrs. Joan Kelsall of Buckley and Steven Shone, formerly of Buckley. The history of the Bloors in East Liverpool was supplemented by information from Mrs. Dolores Wheatley David of Denver, Colorado (great granddaughter of Herbert Bloor and Charlotte Jones); Mrs. Margaret Schneider of Vacaville, California (granddaughter of James Bloor and Annie Dennis); Allan Bloor of Collierville, Tennessee; Kenneth Poole and Cathy Platt. Mr. W. Spencer Bloor late of Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania provided his considerable knowledge of the Bloors of Trenton and his great grandfather, Enoch Bloor. Mrs. Kath Barker and Ian Bloor of the Bloor Society provided parish register transcripts that proved that this Enoch was the son of Enoch Bloor and Elizabeth Pool. Ian Bloor and Joyce Settle have done much to try to connect various Bloor trees. https://d.docs.live.net/a6f0465d10ca93df/Documents/Genealogy/Families_Peter/Bloor/Bloor 1 history/Bloor_History.docx Created by Peter Kelsall, 2020© Esther Bloor and Samuel Shone Esther Bloor was my (Peter Kelsall’s) great-great-grandmother. She was born September 22, 1821 in Hanley, Staffordshire in the English Potteries district and baptized at St. John's, Hanley October 24, 1841. Her parents were Enoch Bloor and Elizabeth Pool and I know of nine siblings. Esther married Samuel Shone from Buckley, Flintshire on December 15, 1839 in Hanley. Sometime between 1847 and 1850 Samuel and Esther returned to Buckley. They had eight children including my great-grandfather, William Shone, born in Fenton in 1845. Esther died January 2, 1899 in Buckley. Esther Bloor married Samuel Shone on December 15, 1839 in Hanley. They subsequently lived in Buckley, Flintshire and had eight children. Their second son, William Shone, was my great grandfather. William married Fanny Peters in Buckley and they had 12 children. Their seventh child, Lily Shone, was my grandmother. She married John Iredale and they were bakers and confectioners, owning a shop in the Lane End area of Buckley until the mid 1950’s. Lily and John had two daughters, Olwen who lived in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, and my mother, Joan, who lived in Buckley before passing away in 2005. Olwen had one son, Ian Wilson, who now also lives in Alderley Edge. I grew up in Buckley, attended Imperial College, London, and have lived in the United States since 1977. In the 1841 census, Samuel and Esther, with daughter Emma 8 months old were living in the Lane End district of Stoke-on-Trent now part of Longton. Samuel is listed as a coal miner and Esther as a pot painter. They were living in Wood St., which is in the centre of modern Longton, off King Street, opposite Longton Station. Thomas Shone is also listed in Wood St., with wife Martha and children, Edward, Thomas and Charlotte. Based on age and his mother’s name, Charlotte, Thomas is identified as Samuel’s brother born in 1813. (Thomas is probably the same Thomas found in Tranmere in 1881.) William Shone was listed in Church St., living with Charles and Sarah Jones. This is in the centre of Stoke near the Spode Museum. Thomas and William are listed as coal miners like Samuel. In 1845, Samuel and Esther were living in China St., Fenton, as listed on the birth certificate of their second son, William, my great grandfather. China St. is in the centre of Fenton about one mile from Wood St. in Longton. https://d.docs.live.net/a6f0465d10ca93df/Documents/Genealogy/Families_Peter/Bloor/Bloor 2 history/Bloor_History.docx Created by Peter Kelsall, 2020© Enoch Bloor and Elizabeth Pool Enoch Bloor and Elizabeth Pool were the parents of Esther Bloor (Peter Kelsall’s 3x great grandparents). They were married at St. Peter's1, Stoke, Staffordshire on January 12, 18082. Joseph Bloore, likely Enoch's brother, was a witness. Enoch Bloor was born in about 1785. He was identified in the parish registers at the time of his marriage and most of his children’s baptisms as a potter, and on Elizabeth's death certificate as a pot presser. However, at the time of daughter Edney’s birth in 1814 he was listed as a soldier3. Enoch died 20 January 1842 in Fenton aged 56. The certificate lists asthma as the cause. Daughter Esther was present at the death. Elizabeth Pool is identified in the parish register records of her children’s christenings as the daughter of Hanley Pool (or Poole) of Hanley. From the records of St. John’s Church, Hanley, Elizabeth Poole daughter of Hanley and Hannah Poole of Hanley was born December 6, 1790. Hanley Poole of Stoke Parish married Hannah Tams also of Stoke parish at Norton-le-Moors Church on October 11, 1789. 1 The present St. Peter's was built in 1826. The original churchyard contains the tombs of Josiah Wedgwood, Josiah Spode and Thomas Minton 2 Copy of original parish register provided by Kath Barker. Name spelled Bloore. 3 This was the time of the Napoleonic Wars, ended at Waterloo 18 June 1815. https://d.docs.live.net/a6f0465d10ca93df/Documents/Genealogy/Families_Peter/Bloor/Bloor 3 history/Bloor_History.docx Created by Peter Kelsall, 2020© Elizabeth died 10 January 1859 at Gate St., Fenton aged 68. The certificate lists disease of the stomach as the cause. Her daughter, Martha Copestack was present at the death. In the 1841 census, the Bloor family was living in the Terrace Building in Fenton. Children living with Enoch and Elizabeth were James, Edwin, Enoch, Joseph, Jesse and Mary Ann. The Terrace Buildings were still in existence in the 1881, the census listing 23 separate residences. The location is identified on the C19 Ordnance Survey map near the center of Fenton approximately in the location of the present-day north-south spur of the A50 adjacent to Glebedale Park. This was within a few hundred feet of China St. where Samuel and Esther Shone were living in 1845. The location was near Glebe and Oldfield Collieries and many china works including Minerva, Lane Delph and Park. Other families present in 1841 included that of Thomas Ball, an ancestor of correspondent Donald Massey. Thomas was born in Hawarden Parish but married his wife in Stoke, just like Samuel Shone The complete family can be traced through the parish registers4, and census records. 1. Harriett. Baptised March 1, 1812. [Found in Select Births and Christenings, Ancestry (no image), original record not found by Kath Barker with others at St Johns Hanley] Not found in census and no likely marriage in IGI. Poole tree on 4 From registers provided by Kath Barker, except as noted. The registers identify Joseph as the seventh child, Jesse as the fifth son, and Elizabeth and Mary Ann as the fifth and sixth daughters. By my count Joseph was the 4th son. https://d.docs.live.net/a6f0465d10ca93df/Documents/Genealogy/Families_Peter/Bloor/Bloor 4 history/Bloor_History.docx Created by Peter Kelsall, 2020© Ancestry indicates she was buried 10 November 1812 at St. Johns Hanley. 2. Edney. Baptised August 10, 1814 at St. John's Hanley. Married Isaac Tunnicliffe 1840. Children Elizabeth (c 1841), John, James, Isaac, Frederic, Sarah Ann [children found in census and matched to mother’s name on GRO Index.] Edney died 1899. An 1840 marriage shows Edna Bolton married Isaac Tunnicliffe with Samuel and Esther Shone as witnesses and father identified as Enoch Bolton. Is this a second marriage for Edney? Poole tree on Ancestry suggests an earlier child Francis Elijah Bloor born 1835 living with John & Hannah Bolton in 1841 (grandparents?). If this is Edna Bloore’s son, he did not go to live with his mother after she remarried. From Poole tree Francis married Mary Shaw, lived in Derbyshire. Died 1899. 3. Martha: Baptised 6 Oct 1816 at Hanley, daughter of Enoch Bloar (sic) and Elizabeth, married George Copstake 10 Aug 1835 Stoke5. Present at mother’s death in 1859. 8 children. Died 1898. 4. James. Born about 18196. James married Mary

  • 9. Ceramic Arts
    Profile No.: 38 NIC Code: 23933 CEREMIC ARTS 1. INTRODUCTION: Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay. It may take forms including art ware, tile, figurines, sculpture, and tableware. Ceramic art is one of the arts, particularly the visual arts. Of these, it is one of the plastic arts. While some ceramics are considered fine art, some are considered to be decorative, industrial or applied art objects. Ceramics may also be considered artifacts in archaeology. Ceramic art can be made by one person or by a group of people. In a pottery or ceramic factory, a group of people design, manufacture and decorate the art ware. Products from a pottery are sometimes referred to as "art pottery".[1] In a one-person pottery studio, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery. Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made this way. In modern ceramic engineering usage, ceramics is the art and science of making objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the action of heat. It excludes glass and mosaic made from glass tesserae. There is a long history of ceramic art in almost all developed cultures, and often ceramic objects are all the artistic evidence left from vanished cultures. Elements of ceramic art, upon which different degrees of emphasis have been placed at different times, are the shape of the object, its decoration by painting, carving and other methods, and the glazing found on most ceramics. 2.

They and their fathers before them have grown up with, lived with, made and developed the English pottery trade. The pot-bank and the shard ruck are, to them, as familiar, and as full of old associations, as the cowshed to the countryman or the nets along the links to the fishing popula- tion. To them any history of the development of their industry will be welcome. But potting is such a specialized industry, so confined to and associated with North Stafford- shire, that it is possible to study very clearly in the case of this industry the cause of its localization, and its gradual change from a home to a factory business.
