Cheddleton St Edwards parish records (taken from the original records by Joan Bell)

Burials

Marriages

The variations in spelling which appear below are as shown in the parish records. The records show that people were recorded at various times as either Goostry/Goostrey (and other spellings) or Goldstraw. These records show the beginning of the spelling "Goldstraw" instead of Goostrey, and suggest that the person keeping the parish records was unfamiliar with the local (Staffordshire Moorlands) accent, probably spelling names phonetically to match the local accent.
