Our Family Group Sheets were compiled in 1909 and are considered
first source documents because they were compiled by the original or the first
generation family after arriving in Mt. Pleasant.

WHERE DID THE ORIGINAL ALLREDS COME FROM?


Those Original American Allreds:                               
Where Did They Come From?
By:  Linda Allred Cooper
Fall 2017  
Read the entire history here:

 Tracing back to the mid 1500s, the Allreds were from the little village of Pendleton (sometimes called
Pendleton Poole).  On today’s map, Pendleton is part of the City of Manchester (also called Greater
Manchester or Manchester Proper).  You may have heard the Allreds were from Eccles or Eccles Parish.
That is partially true.  They lived in the little village of Pendleton but attended church services and their
births/baptisms, marriages, deaths/burials are recorded in the Eccles Parish Records.   Eccles Parish’s church,
St. Mary The Virgin, was built around 1100, around the time of William the Conqueror.

Prior to World War II, the church and church yard looked like the photo above left.  Graves covered the church yard and flat
tombstones or markers were placed on top.   Manchester was the main manufacturing hub for England and,
therefore, one of the main targets of Hitler’s bombs.  Everyone has heard of the London Blitz but few realize
Manchester was also bombed non-stop which caused tremendous damage.  One of those bombs fell just
behind the church damaging the church yard and graves.  Some of the stained-glass panes were blown out
and the rear of the church sustained damage.  When repaired, the church members decided to replace the
damaged window panes with clear glass.  If you visit, you will notice the beautiful stained-glass panels with
clear glass in sections.  This is to remind everyone of the damage done to the church during the Manchester Blitz.
The graves, however, were beyond repair.  The graveyard was turned into the grassy park you see today.
Some of the tombstones, those not too badly damaged, were used as pavers for the sidewalks.
