I have recently learned that my ancestor Reuben Calvert, lived in Midgley in the mid-1700s. Two of his sons Jonathan and William went on to manage Wainstalls Mills - I am descended from the youngest son Timothy Calvert (1778-1845). I would be interested in hearing from anyone interested in the local history/genealogy so I can learn more about my Midgley roots!
