Hi, I am trying to trace any descendents
of Ernest Adolphus Clayton SANDLAND. He
was born in England in 1881 and died in
Australia in 1938. Family rumours say he
lived in Canada for some time between
1920 and 1930. Any help will be greatly
appreciated. |

I have just found your website. On the
page of Sandland Snippets, there is a
piece about William Sandland, who
apparently had the street in Holborn
named after him. William 1809, was the
brother of John Sandland, who in turn
was the father of Job Sheriff Sandland
(my great grandfather.) Thank you for
the information.
Also, regarding. your message dated
25.01.12. American born Sandlands:
John Sandland (1804-1874) married Sarah
Bowler Cole (1804-1873) in Yardley,
Warwickshire. They seemed to have
returned to Birmingham in 1834-6 where
they had 5 more children!
William Sandland born 1826 USA
Sarah Sandland born 1828 USA
John Cole Sandland born 1831 Mass USA -
died 1883
Emma Sandland born 1834 USA, died 1933!
George, Frederick James, Job Sheriff (my
G.Grandfather), Mary Louisa and James
were all born in Birmingham.
Hope this info. is of some interest to
you. |

Author's Note:
Thank you Julie, much appreciated. I
have now updated the records of
Job Sheriff
Sandland (XX01) and
William Sandland
(XX06). Please keep sending
any information. |

I am the 77 year-old son of Thomas and
Doris Sandland. He was born in Whitby
and she in Maltby, Yorkshire. Both were
of a large family and I must have aunts
and uncles all over the place not to
mention cousins by the score! It would
be interesting to hear from any of them. |

Just seen your website for the first
time - its amazing. I have Sandlands in
my past and have found it very useful in
tracing my family tree. Really looking
forward to you completing all the
records.
I am particularly interested in Robert
Dickin Sandland who was recorded to have
been in a village called Wybunbury at
one time. Also indications that he was a
butler in London for a while. If anyone
has any information, please send a
message to this website.
Harriet. |

Although extremely interesting, this book
appears to provide only statistical
Sandland information that has been
extracted from census records. If
you are looking for specific

then this book may not be for you. |
Some information on
my Hometown of Nantwich
Nantwich was known as a
supplier of salt in Roman
times for Chester and
Stoke-on-Trent. In the
eleventh century the town
was destroyed by the Normans
at the time of the conquest
and at the Domesday survey
it was recorded as having
eight salt houses and a
castle.
The market town of Nantwich
retains a medieval street
pattern despite being
damaged by the Welsh in the
thirteenth century and
suffering a catastrophic
fire in 1583. Elizabeth I
donated £2,000 towards its
£30,000 reconstruction. In
the Civil War it was the
only Cheshire town to be
Parliamentarian and
experienced several Royalist
sieges. The Parliamentarian
victory at the Battle of
Nantwich in 1644 is still
celebrated by Holy Holly Day
on 26 January each year when
the Sealed Knot re-enact the
battle.
The production of salt led
to the town becoming a
centre for Cheshire cheese
and the tanning of leather.
By the sixteenth century a
total of 216 salt houses
existed in the town and the
industry then gradually
declined until the final one
closed in 1856. Tanning
survived until 1974 and
clothing continues to be
another of the town's
industries. Nantwich had a
population of 12,515 in
2001.
The above information was
extracted from the Crewe
Chronicle article Nantwich
History published 29th Jul
2008.
