Henry Wheeler (my gt grandfather had large houses, one in Southport, where he was a Church warden for 27yrs. One of his Villa's was in Cheltenham, all his residences where called Middleton Lodge.But I do not think this was one of Henry Wheeler's residences; but could be a close member of the Wheeler family, I have not yet done a tree for Henry Wheeler it will be fascinating to find out who his parents and grandparents were one day. Thank you both for your persistance!! |

I didn't go further back than that yet. He married Agnes Searle in Mar quarter 1848 in Ashton under Lyn. He was an Attorney/Solicitor. More to follow - must go out for a while now! |

Could be tricky, but I do know Rossley Manor Country Club Members Handbooks exist which likely includes photos too.  |

Was there a register in the end? Whoever it was living there would have been very good friends of Clytie Weaver nee Wheeler as I have a photograph with Rossley Manor written underneath the photograph (which I sent to Cahtyml) taken within a walled garden the same stone for the Wall is used on the house the three are having fun it looks like a swimming pool or pond, there is another dog in the photograph and children being tossed into the water, it is a very old photograph shame one cannot post anymore black and white images or I would post it. In the meantime I am asking a cousin to take a photograph of Rossley Manor for me who lives in Gloucestershire. Many thanks again and if you find a resistor with names or who did actually live there before it was a club this would be interesting as they were friends of Clytie Weaver nee Wheeler. J |

Coxwell-Rogers and had been in the family for a few generations. It's the Coxwell-Rogers family crest that is shown above the entrance in your original photo. |

My grandfather was general Coxwell-Rogers, he lived there once it was returned to family home, and then he and my grandmother moved into the north wing when my uncle Col Richard Coxwell-Rogers moved into the main house in the 1970. the Coxwell -Rogers back in theo day owned a lot of the big houses in Dowdeswell, but sadly Rossley was sold and left the family in 1993 |

Thank you for that Louisa Why not go to 'User Introductions' tell us a little about 'you' and then expect the usual welcome from the POE family members. BTW welcome to POE Louisa, from Anna and Ron (but not really the thread to say it)
