I have an 1881 census record which lists the birthplace of a Joseph Charleston as Fair Green, Staffordshire.
I can't find any reference to such a place in the county.
Can anyone help with ideas of where Fair Green is, please?
Many thanks, Weemaxcat
Hi i googled it and found a Fairgreen road, Baldwins gate, Staffordshire, dont know if thats any help, but if you look on genuk for staffordshire, you may see it on an old map . Hopefully one of our staffordshire members will give you the answer.
thanks for your reply Hazelnut, it sounds worth a look

I assume this is the Joseph you refer to:

Other Information:
Birth Year <1866> Birthplace Fair Green, Stafford, England
Age 15 Occupation Scholar Marital Status U <Unmarried>
Head of Household Owen OWENS Relation Inmate

You could e-mail the site below and ask them where Fair Green is or was:

In the 1871 Census there is a Joseph 1866 living and born in Hanley. Perhaps this is the same Joseph.

Hello
I think actually pinpointing Fair Green Hanley/Stoke on Trent may be difficult
Stoke on Trent was made up of 6 villages, and referred to in the 1950's as Stoke Stone and The Potteries, I think Nurslem was another....
