My Granddmother, Winifred Alice Wilde Slack was from Hollinsclough. She had several siblings who survived to adulthood, Ruth, Gertrude (Gertie), Dorothy, Leticia, Violet Alethea, James Henry and Reuben. Ruth lived for many years in the cottage opposite Hollinsclough chapel. My Grandmother who married John Buxton was widowed in her early 30s and with 3 children of her own to look after, moved to Macclesfield to find work. Dorothy, who married George Gregory, was the youngest and sadly passed away last year aged 99. My grandmother was 93 when she died in 2002 and Gertie, who married George Mellor was 95 when she died in 2003 after falling and breaking her hip.
My great-grandfather was the first James Henry and he married Martha Sarah Wilde. I know various members of the family lived around Hollinsclough and Longnor and Glutton Bridge.
My great, great grandfather was James Slack who married Martha Wheeldon and they eloped to Prestbury to get married. James had two brothers, Sam and Ralph - the latter being head of the Macclesfield Police in the early 20th century.
