Sandland Pottery |
|
. |
|
Sandland Pottery was manufactured in Hanley,
Staffordshire, England. Enquiries to the Potters Museum
shows that a firm called Sandland & Colley Limited
(Lichfield Pottery) manufacture pottery in Hanley from
1907 - 1910.
|
|
. |
|
More prolifically, and much more well known, is the
Lancaster & Sandland of Dresden Works, Hanley
who manufactured 'Sandland Ware' pottery from
1944 until the 1970s. The Dresden
Works was situated on the corner of Clough Street
and Mount Pleasant, Hanley but no longer used as
a pot bank or pottery works. The Lancaster of
Lancaster & Sandland also manufactured
pottery under the name of Lancaster & Son
from 1900 to 1944.
No
doubt members of the Sandland family from
Staffordshire and the nearby Shropshire were
involved in the pottery industry well before the
years indicated above - it is thought that one of
them was a John Chesters Sandland. This would be the 'John Chesters Sandland' who was
born/baptised August 13th 1845 at Loppington,
Shropshire and was possibly one of two children
of John & Sarah Sandland (Stanway).
There are many fine pieces of
'Sandland Ware' still on sale today in antique shops and
from pottery collectors in the United Kingdom and in the
USA. Some of these can be seen and bid for at
Ebay On-Line Auction Sales. |

Birmingham -

There was a Thomas Sandland who married a
Priscilla Hartell in Birmingham on October 24th 1783 (It
is though that Thomas came from Shropshire - my ancestral
territory). They had at least two children - Mary Ann
born/baptised October 13th 1787, she married James Clowes
in Birmingham May 27th 1815.
Another child of Thomas & Priscilla was
William born/baptised March 29th 1785 in Birmingham. From
information sent to me from a 'Sandlin' (in Texas), it
would appear that William emigrated to America - he died
aged 56 years on March 13th 1841 and was buried at
Waterbury Cemetery, Connecticut. It was inscripted on his
head-stone "Sacred to the memory of William Sandland
formally of Birmingham, England". Other inscriptions in the same cemetery are:
| * Eliza, daughter of John &
Elizabeth Sandland who died May 16th 1830 aged 5
years |
| * Elizabeth, wife of John Sandland
who departed this life August 8th 1832 aged 39
years |
| * Harriet Amelia, daughter of Edward
& Mary Ann Sandland died April 15th 1840 aged
3 months |
| * John Sandland, died September 20th
1848 aged 57 years |
| *
Julia Maria, daughter of John H & Abigail
Sandland died August 14th 1839 aged 3 years 7
months |
It is thought that John who died 1848 could
have been a younger brother of William but I have not as
yet come across any record or further remote information
that would link the two together. |

There was
a James A. Sandland (approx. dob 1820-1825) of Birmingham England whose
first wife died at age 24, remarried Harriet Pompling. They gave birth
to Chas. A. Sandland (dob 10-2-1854). It is not known if they moved to
Waterbury Connecticut before or after the birth. Chas.A Sandland (dob
10-2-1854) Married Emma C. Ward (dob 3-9-1858) both of Waterbury.
They gave birth to several children, George Henry Sandland (dob
7-25-1886) and William Sandland (dob???) who I've been told served as
the Mayor of Waterbury Connecticut. He also served with the Waterbury
Button Company (President?) in Waterbury and helped in resolving the
brass strike during WW I which hampered the War effort. The Sandlands
were known "burnishers" and were involved in the Button
Industry and introduced gold plated brass buttons in the US. George
Henry Sandland married Leonora Zilliox (dob 2-28-1895) and lived in
Newark, New Jersey where they had 6 children George, Edie, Leonora,
Evelyn and Theodore. George Henry Sandland was a jeweller designing some
of the first stamped rings. George and William also had other siblings
which are not know at this time.
Addition
from Evelyl Ruut (daughter of Edith Leonora Sandland below):
George Henry
Sandland had 5 children, not 6 (as far as I now) and was married to my
grandmother, Leonora Zillox. Their children are:
| George
Henry - died in 2000 |
| Edith
Leonora - died in February 2000 (was married to Gordon F Winne) |
| Evelyn
Ruth |
| Leonora

Sandland's Brook |
|
. |
|
This is taken from a book called "The
History of Wem" and refers to - The Parish of Wem,
Shropshire, England. A copy of this book can be viewed in the town
library of Whitchurch, Shropshire.
"The parish of Wem lies in the deanery of
Newport and is subject to the visitations of the
Archdeacon of Salop (Shropshire). The length of it from
east to west, that is from Ball's of the Brook, to Black
Waterford, is six miles; the breadth of it from the north
to south, that is from Sandland's Brook in the confines
of Whitchurch parish to Billow Brook that divides it from
the liberties of Shrewsbury, is five miles."

Henry Sandland |
|
. |
|
Henry Sandland and a James Spark
were indicted for breaking and entering a dwelling house
on March 18th (think 1841) at St Martin-in-the-Fields,
London and stealing two silver bottles. They were found
guilty of theft and were sentenced to transportation to
Australia for ten years. Henry was then aged 22 years. They were put on the convict ship
"Barossa" which sailed from Sheerness for
Hobart Town, Van Diemens Land on August 30th 1841. A copy of a Secretary of State paper in
Whitehall, London states that Henry was in Australia and
still alive on December 31st 1842.
He died on
the 15th October 1869 on the District of Brighton, Tasmania (formerly
Van Diemen's Land) he was aged 47years (Reference: Tasmanian Pioneer
Index on CD Year 1869 No. 30.

Sandlands of Wem |
|
. |
|
This is taken from a book called "The
Story of Wem". Wem is a small town in Shropshire,
England. "Noble Street, called "Back Street"
- it contained the school (original building 1670), the
Headmaster's house, Sandland's house (built on the site
of the Civil War prison) which was sold in 1840 by Joseph
Sandland to Edward Gough." The same book refers to a Thomas Sandland,
church warden and overseer of the poor -
".........deeply thinking". |

Sandland Post Office - Norway |
|
. |
|
It appears
that there is a post office in a small village community in Norway with the
name of Sandland. The village is located not far from Hammerfest (almost as far north as possible) and
the post office is still operating up to this day. Estimated
population within a 7 km radius is 62 peoples.
This
information has been kindly provided by the Sandland
family at Vestfold, Toenssberg, Norway (Aasmund
and Trond). The family originates from Telemark. Thanks.

Mayor of Dunstable

. |
|
There
was a Thomas Sandland who was Mayor of Dunstable, Bedfordshire
in the 1950s and had a road, Sandland Close, named after him. It
would appear that the family came from Lanchester in County
Durham.

|
. |
|
.There
is a Sandland Road in Willenhall, West Midlands that is believed
to be named after the family of Egbert Sandland (Methodist Lay
