Dinelry (Dinley) Pickles

Dinelry, known as Dinley, was born in 1831 in Marlow (aka Marley) and his christening took place on January 1st, 1832 in Bingley.¹²

Birth Notes
- DINELEY PICKLES
  Christening: 01 JAN 1832 Bingley, Yorkshire, England
  Parents:
  Father: THOMAS PICKLES
  Mother: MARY
  
  Birthplace is given in both 1861 and 1871 as Morley, Leeds, but this is more likely to be Marlow (or Marley). Maybe the enumerator assumed he meant the small town south of Leeds, not the 9-house hamlet near Keighley.

Dinley's father was Thomas Pickles and his mother was Mary Pickles. His paternal grandparents were Thomas Pickles and Mary Walsh. He had six brothers and five sisters, named Thomas, John, William, Robert, Edward, Whitley, Margaret, Mary, Sarah, Alice and Caroline. Whitley and Dinley were twins. He died at the age of 49 in 1880 in Pontefract.³

Death Notes
- Deaths Dec 1880 (>99%)
  Pickles Dinley 49 Pontefract 9c 79
  
  Dinely died in 1880. In 1881 his wife has taken over the shop and a son Alexander from her first marriage appears on the scene.

General Notes
- When he married in 1855 he used the name Daniel Pickles ... most strange, but probably has a strong accent and was illiterate.
  
  Dinely is missing from the 1851 census, in 1855 he married Margaret Boocock while working as a miner in Bowling. In 1858 they had a son Edward while living in Coundon,
  Co Durham (see scanned image). That son is with them on the 1861 census when they are in Stanley near Wakefield but he vanishes after that. In 1871 the couple are in Leeds and Dineley now has a greengrocer's shop, however
  shortly after the census Margaret and infant daughter Drusilla die. Dineley quickly remarries to widow Jane Crawford (nee Briggs).
  
  After his death in 1880 Jane takes over the shop and runs it with her son Alexander from her earlier marriage. All very satisfactory except for the sudden jump from textile worker to miner.
