1841 UK Census

All Counties
“The following information was requested:

Name of street, place, road, etc.
House number or name
Name of each person that had spent the night in that household
Age*
Sex (indicated by which column the age is recorded in)
Profession or occupation
Where born**

*The ages of people over 15 years old were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years. Therefore, someone who was actually 24 years would have their age listed as 20, and someone who was actually 27 years old would have their age listed as 25.

**The "Where Born" column only asked two questions - 1) whether born in same county, and 2) whether born in Scotland, Ireland, or Foreign Parts. Possible answers and abbreviations to question #1 include: Yes (Y), No, (N), or Not Known (NK). For question #2, the following abbreviations were used: Scotland (S), Ireland (I), and Foreign Parts (F).

Enumeration forms were distributed to all households a couple of days before census night and the complete forms were collected the next day. All responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 6 June 1841 for all individuals who had spent the night in the house. People who were traveling or living abroad were enumerated at the location where they spent the night on census night. All of the details from the individual forms were later sorted and copied into enumerators' books, which are the records we can view images of today. The original householder's schedules from 1841 to 1901 were destroyed.

The clerks who compiled and reviewed the census data made a variety of marks on the returns. Unfortunately, many of these tally marks were written over personal information and some fields, such as ages, can be difficult to read as a result. More useful marks include a single slash between households within a building and a double slash separating households in separate buildings.”

“In addition, the names of those listed on the population schedule are linked to the actual images of the 1891 Census, reproduced by courtesy of The National Archives, London, England. There are 2,131 rolls of microfilm included.

The 1891 Census for England was taken on the night of 5 April 1891. The following information was requested:
Name of street, avenue road, etc.;
house number or name;
whether or not the house was inhabited;
number of rooms occupied if less than five;
name of each person that had spent the night in that household;
relationship of person enumerated to the head of the family;
each person's marital status;
age at last birthday (sex is indicated by which column the age is recorded in);
each person's occupation;
whether they are employer or employee or neither;

Enumeration forms were distributed to all households a couple of days before census night and the complete forms were collected the next day. All responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 5 April 1891 for all individuals who had spent the night in the house. People who were traveling or living abroad were enumerated at the location where they spent the night on census night.

If the head of the house was illiterate or had any problems completing the form the enumerator would complete as much as necessary. All of the details from the individual forms were later sorted and copied into enumerators' books, which are the records we can view images of today. The original householders schedules from 1841 to 1901 were destroyed.

Census returns were collected according to registration district. These returns were divided into sub-districts and assigned consecutive piece numbers for reference purposes. The piece numbers begin in London with number one and work roughly south to north, followed by the Welsh districts and then the Isle of Man and Channel Islands. You will find the piece number on a paper strip at the bottom of every image, following the PRO class number. There may be hundreds of pieces within a county.

In addition to the piece number, each page of the returns includes a folio number and/or a page number. The folio number was stamped onto every other page before microfilming and is located in the upper right hand corner of the image. Folio numbering usually starts over at the beginning of each piece. The page number is part of the printed form and is found on every page in the upper right hand corner. The page numbers start over at the beginning of every enumeration district. A full reference number for a record in the 1891 census includes the PRO class number (RG12), the piece number, the folio number, and the page number. Keep in mind that you may have to look at several enumeration districts to find the page you want within a given folio since the page numbers start over with every ED.

The 1891 census has several more questions than are found on earlier census returns. These questions include three columns on employment status and the number of rooms occupied in the house if less than five.

The clerks who compiled and reviewed the census data made a variety of marks on the returns. Unfortunately, many of these tally marks were written over personal information and some fields, such as ages, can be difficult to read as a result. More useful marks include a single slash between households within a building and a double slash separating households in separate buildings.

Autobiography - William Greenhalgh

www.Ancestry.co.uk
“William Greenhalgh –29 July 1811 - - 3 April 1882 The History of William Greenhalgh(As written by himself) William Greenhalgh was born 29 July 1811 at Breightmet – near – Bolton Lancashire, England, son of Robert and Ellen Greenhalgh. I was born from poor but industrial parents and I remained with them till 1834. About that time I took a wife by the name of Mary Clough. Mary was born 13 March 1814, daughter of John and Susan Clough. In 1835 Mary brought forth a son which I named Robert --- who lived about four years. In Breightmet on 9 June 1837 she brought forth another son and gave him the name of John. On 14 May1840 she brought forth a daughter who was named Ellen. She lived till about four years and died in Hancock County, Nauvoo. In 1840 I became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints, and in 1841 I was ordained a priest and sent to preach the Gospel in the surrounding villages. I baptized some into the church and was the means of causing others to be baptized. In the spring 15 April 1842 I left my native country and set out for Nauvoo. I landed at Nauvoo on the 20 May the same year. I left my wife and two children (Mary was in family way of another child) in England. I went to work for the prophet Joseph Smith to pay their emigration. On 20 Nov. 1843 Mary brought forth an other daughter and named her Mary she crossed the sea and the child died and was buried in the Gulf of Mexico. Mary landed in Nauvoo with the two children about the last of May in the same year, in time to become acquainted with the Prophet. I was in Nauvoo when the Prophet Joseph Smith placed the responsibility of the government of the church on the shoulders of the “twelve” and I heard him tell them they must bear it for a while. On the 25 of June he was called upon by the Governor of Illinois to give himself up to the Carthage Jail to be tried by the law. Before going, he called the people together and asks them if they were willing to die for him. They told him they were. He then said I will die for you. As he was going to Carthage he was met by a group of government men. They demanded the government arms from him. Joseph turned back with them and told the people of Nauvoo to give them up the arms and while there, he begged leave to go and see his family again. He went to see his wife Emma and blessed the child in her womb, and called his name David Hyrum. Then he returned and gave him self up to the officer of the law again. Then the officer said” Now Mr. Smith there is great reports about the people of Nauvoo, but I see nothing to do with them” Joseph said “that there was something the matter with them”, the officer said “what was it”. Joseph said “There innocence would bring condemnation on this generation”. Then he turned around to us and blessed us in the name of the Lord. On the 27 June 1844 Joseph Smith was murdered in the Carthage Jail after the government had told him he should be protected according to the law. The Governor came to Nauvoo with all his men while they murdered him in jail and the governor said “we have got to make a sacrifice”, while on the housetops and just about this time they were murdering him in the Carthage Jail. About two days previous to his assignation, Joseph said “I am going as a lamb to the slaughter, but I am as calm as a summer morning. I have a conscience void of offence toward God and toward all men and I shall die innocent”. The next day he was brought into the city dead. The bells were tolling and all men were worried and bowed down with great grief, weeping with tears in their eyes. All seem to feel the shock even the elements seemed all confused. It was thundering and lighting all the time for several days and nights. In a few days Sidney Rigdon came up to Nauvoo to see if the people would accept him as a guardian to act for Joseph. He told the people if they did not accept him, God would reject them as a people with their dead. He was to return to Pittsburg and God would raise up a people at Pittsburg for him. With uplifted hands he called on God and angels to bear him witness. He spoke the next day to them to see if the people would accept him. Just at this time came home Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball. The morning Brigham Young ordered the people to bring a wagon to the south side of the congregation that the people could all hear what he had to say. Brigham rose and said “I would to God, there was not such a hurried spirit here” He spoke with such power and the voice of Joseph sounded through him so plain that it was the voice of Joseph speaking through Brigham Young. My wife Mary sitting close by me not able to turn her head ask me if that was Joseph, I told her no, but it was the voice of Joseph speaking through Brigham Young. This was a living testimony that the mantle had fallen from Joseph on to Brigham and from this time many wanted to well off and part from the Saints--- but Brigham forbid them and told them that the flock must not be scattered. In 1844, I was ordained into the quorum of the Seventies under the hand of Zero Pulsefur, Henry Harroman and placed as a member in the quorum of Seventies. I was baptized for my father in the baptismal font of the temple in1845. On the 10 April 1845, My wife gave birth to another daughter and we called her Mary Ann. Brigham told us to hurry on with the temple. So I went to work on it. All the time as we worked on the temple the mob began to rage more and more. Then Brigham commanded all the Saints in all the settlements to gather up to Nauvoo. Some gathered and some did not. Those who didn’t the mob burned there houses and their grain and tied them up and whipped them till they were glad to gather to Nauvoo. We had to stand guard by night and men on the tower watching them by day, while the brothers were working on the temple. While this was going on there were men setting themselves up to be the leaders of the church --- Such as Gladon Bishop and James Strong and many others. Mary, my wife, and me were permitted to go into the temple and receive our endowments, but were not permitted to receive our sealing because of the trouble with the mob. We were told we would receive our sealing in the mountains John, my son, was baptized in the Mississippi River by Brother Neibor. The Saints began to leave Nauvoo in Feb1844. While crossing the river, the temple was seen to be on fire. I was left to work on the temple a little longer with some of the brethren, until we were stopped. Then we were told to go and work in the wagon shop to prepare ourselves wagons to go with. Joseph Young was sent from the camp and told us we could not stay there much longer. We would have to scatter up and down the river where we could get a shelter. In a few days Brother Babbitt came up and told us we must leave.He was the one left in charge and he told us if any man left he would be counted a coward. I saw the first cannon ball that was fired at us by the mob. It came rolling past us near the graveyard, east of the city, but were driven back and moved from Joseph’s fair to Hy?nu?ls, and on Friday commenced firing cannon balls at us. In passing up the street the cannon balls would be rolling down as I was passing them. I saw many of them go in one end of the house and come out the other end. In the afternoon one or two more were sent to see what the enemy was about. It was about one half mile. We had no sooner got there than the cannon balls were filed at us. On Friday, I was commanded to go home on account of my feet having big holes in them and bleeding through the sand getting in my shoes. I went down to see my family and going up to the temple I saw many running away. On Sunday, the mob was very pious; they would not fire on us on Monday. I saw them gather up their teams and go out on the prairie and commence digging as if they were burying their dead and on Tuesday, we were permitted to go home and when I got home I found the house empty. Someone had moved my family across the river and left them for dammed Mormons and telling them they ought to be killed. The next day a man came and moved them to an old cowshed. I sold my two horses for a pair of shoes for my wife to put on. The mob took my two cows. I started over the river in search of my family and found them in the cowshed at Montrose. We stayed a few days and then started down the river to Saint Louis. We landed in St. Louis destitute and had to go and beg a days work when I could get it. On the 29 Feb. 1845, my wife, Mary, brought forth another son and called his name Ezekiel, born between 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning. My daughter Mary Ann died and we buried her in the graveyard southeast of St. Louis on the 23 June 1847 and we stopped at St. Louis a little over 3 years. I was sick about one and a half years and in 1849 we moved up to St. Joseph and there we got along tolerable well for a little while. I bought a piece of land and built myself a brick house on it. I was called to be the presiding teacher on 9 July 1851. My wife brought forth another son and called him Joseph, born in St. Joseph Missouri and I was placed in the Presidency of the Branch. On 16 Dec. 1851, my wife Mary died and left me with three children. She was buried in the graveyard west of the city. In the spring of 1852, I sold my house and bought me a team and came to the “Valley” on 22 Aug of the same year. I moved into the 16th ward and got a city lot and built myself a house and lived very comfortable until 1856. On 25 Apr. 1856 I married Sarah Jarvis, born 21 Jan. 1820 at Little Hulton, near Tyldsley, England. I went into the sealing room and had my wives Mary Clough and Sarah Jarvis, sealed to me. In the fall of 1856, I sold my house and lot and paid it over for tithing, as I had been running some behind and I moved to keys-ward and moved in to an old schoolhouse till I could get a place. In the spring following, I bought some land and built another house then went to farming and raised a good quantity of grain that year and dedicated all I had to the trustee of the trust. I was appointed as teacher over the vast Quorum of the Seventies. In the winter I had a sort of vision. I thought I saw a pond of water about a mile square, and in this pond of water about a mile square, I saw a multitude of fish all moving south and it appeared when the fish got to the bottom of the pond they moved back again. And I saw many snakes moving along with the fish. In the spring, Brigham commanded us to hitch up our teams and come south so I fixed my team and buried many things in the ground and started out not knowing where I was going. We started and came to Salt Lake City and there we had to stop a week on account of wet wether and then we started again and came to Mill Creek and there we broke down and stopped to get our wagons fixed and then we came to Santaquin, 25 May 1858 and went to live in a room belonging to Brother Openshaw. In a short time word came we could move back. But I went to work and built myself a log house and bought myself some land and went to farming again. The grasshoppers ate our grain several years and we had to get along sparingly. I was appointed as a presiding teacher over the branch for several years under Bishop McBride in the fall of 1865. I went up to the city and took me another wife by the name of Hannah Booth, born 16 Jan. 1849, daughter of Joseph and Mary Booth. On 28 Feb. 1867, my wife bore a son, James Henry, on 7 Mar, 1868, she brought forth another son and called his name William Robert. On 28 Dec. 1871, in the evening, she brought forth another son and we called his name Nephi. In 1877 I went to the city and was Baptized for the following persons: John Greenhalgh, my brother: Robert Greenhalgh, my brother: Richard Greenhalgh, my brother: John Hall, my brother-in-law: Rodger Walmsley, my grandfather on my mothers side: John Walmsley, my uncle: Rodger Walmsley, my uncle: Job Gae, a friend. My son, John Greenhalgh was baptized for his grandfather, John Clough on his mother’s side and his uncle Thomas Clough. My wife, Sarah was Baptized at the same time for her mother, Ann Jarvis, her sister, Mary Ann, Jarvis and Alice Brine, her aunt, Betty Cook and Fanny Berry, her aunt, Jane Lomax, a friend. My sister went up to the city in 1872. Ann Openshaw was Baptized for my grandmother, Mary, her mother, Ellen Walmsley, her grandmother on her mothers side, Jane Settle, and her aunt Sarah, her sister-in-law, Margaret Greenhalgh and Betty Greenhalgh were privileged to officiate with me in connection with his mother to have him sealed to their husbands…all except my sister Margaret. Martha Jane Greenhalgh, daughter of William Greenhalgh and Hannah Booth, born 12 Sept 1880, James Henry Greenhalgh, son of William, Baptized 1 Mar 1876 by Bishop George Halliday of Santaquin and confirmed by Peter Nelson. William Greenhalgh was ordained a member of the High-Priesthood Quorum on the 25 Oct 1875 under the hand of Bishop George Halliday of Santaquin. Hannah Greenhalgh brought forth a daughter 16 Nov. 1876 and named her Mary Eliza and blessed by her father 20 Feb. 1877. William Robert Greenhalgh, Baptized by Carl Carlgreen, 16 Jun 1877, confirmed by Edward William Clark. In 1841 while in England I had a dream concerning Joseph Smith. I dreamed I was on an open prairie. I saw two wood houses and a large building a large distance from them like a large courthouse. On the side of these two houses, I saw a company of men that looked very dark in their appearance and seemed to be hollering and making a noise and while this was going on I saw a man rise up in the air above me. Then in 1842 I came to Nauvoo. In 1843 I went to Liyart and when I came to Patrick, I stood still and looked at the place and saw that it was the very place I saw in my dream. My dream came to my mind while looking at it and in 1844 when Joseph Smith was martyred in Carthage, then the fulfillment of my dream came to me. Again in 1855 I had a vision and I saw a company of men and they built up a kind of fort on the bench above Salt Lake City near Buck Canyon. I saw Brigham Young have a hole in the ground near where his white house stood and I saw men after him to kill him and I thought he went into one of those holes and they couldn’t get him. In a short time they took and murdered one of the apostles. When Brigham Young died and was put in the tomb, it came into my mind about the dream. My wife Hannah brought forth another son named Jacob Joseph, born 12 Feb. 1879 and was blessed by Benjamin Johnson on 29 Jul 1879 and died 8 Sept. 1880. I started from home with my wife Hannah and four children all in good health and he was taken sick on 5 Sep. , puking and purging and on the 8th, he died. We brought him home and interned at Santaquin on the 9th. My wife Sarah and the boys had got everything in readiness as for the funeral, when we got home from Sanpete.***************************************William Greenhalgh died at his residence at Spring Lake, Utah of paralysis.

Portrait and Biographical Record
“Job W Stocks, a retired farmer residing at 1048 West Decatur street in the city of Decatur, is numbered amongst the native sons of Ohio, his birth having occurred in Ross county, that state on the 28 March, 1860.  He is a son of George and Miriam (Epworth) Stocks and is of English decent.  His father was born in Berry Brow, England, and was a son of Benjamin and Mary Stocks.  Benjamin Stocks was a mechanic, and worked in the factories of England, never leaving his native land.  He and his wife were buried at the old home there.

George stocks was educated in the schools of England and as a young man, came to the new world, thinking to have better opportunities and find better privileges on this side of the Atlantic.  While making the voyage to this new world he met the lady whom he afterward married, the wedding ceremony being performed a short time after their arrival in the United States.  Both the Stocks and Epworth families went on to Ohio, where they made their first settlement in the southern part of the state, probably in Vinton county near the Ross county line.  George Stocks worked at odd jobs for a time and later became connected with the railway interests, becoming a practical civil engineer.  In England he was associated with old Jimmy Griffiths, prominent in English history, Mr. Stocks acting as one of his assistants.  For some time he worked as a civil engineer in railroad construction here but afterward purchased a farm in Vinton county, Ohio, clearing the land and preparing it for plow (plough).  He remained upon that place for about nine years and then sold the property, after which he came to Illinois.  In this state he first rented a farm of Robert Patterson, about six miles south of Decatur and near the village of Elwin.  He was there for six yeas after which he purchased a farm in Moultrie county and about a year later took up his abode at that place.  This has since been known as the old Stocks homestead and the father resided thereon until his death.  His remains were interred in the New Hope cemetery near Dalton City and in his passing the community mourned a representative and esteemed resident of the county.

Portrait and Biographical Record
“Joseph Stocks was proprietor and owner of the Montana Farm, situated on section 15, Dora Township, Moultrie County.  A native of England, he was born on April 6 1838.  His father Benjamin Stocks was also born in England in 1797 and in 1818 was united with Sarah Campinot.  Seven children were born of their union, Mary, Ellen, George, James, Ann, Emma and Joseph, all whom died before Joseph.

Joseph started work at the age of 14 for $1 per week, working on the Lancashire & Yorkshire railway.  He remained with them for 5 years, the last year getting $3 per week, out of which he saved a portion for coming to America, where better opportunities and privileged afforded young men he believed.

At the age of 19, he sailed from Liverpool, April 7 1857 arriving in Now York, May 8.  He went at once to Vinton County, Ohio and there started out with only 10c to his name.  While there he learnt the wagon-maker’s trade, working the first year for $5 per month and board, whilst the second year he received the magnificent salary of $7.50 per month.  After this, Joseph learned the blacksmiths trade and when he had mastered the business, he and Ira Day built a shop for themselves in Scotia Valley, in Ohio where they remained till the spring of 1863. That year witnessed: his arrival in Illinois.  He went to Mattoon in charge of the wagons, carriages and horses belonging to E. W. Vause, who was moving out, and he worked for that gentleman until the 1st of October 1863 when he removed to Stark County.  There he remained until January, when he returned to Ohio, but after a short time he started for California.  On the way he stopped in Iowa and Minnesota for a short time, and there, meeting a party bound for Montana with ox-teams, he joined them and they reach their destination after a trip of five months as seven days.  There Mr tocks began working in the gold diggings, and followed mining and blacksmithing for about eight years.

In the fall of 1869 he made a trip to England by way of California, stopping to see his brother George who lived south of Decatur.  When he came to  Moultrie County, he bought 160 acres of land of George Shrull, which was his first real estate and present home, but afterwards returned to Montana, in May, 1870, and December 15 1872, he returned to Moultrie to try farming.

In 1874 Mr Stocks again returned on a visit to his old home, where he spent a number of pleasant months with his aged parents, remaining until 1875 and leaving them in good care.  His mother died April 23 1875, aged 77 years, and his father died June 17 1875, aged 78 years.  The latter sold off his furniture twice, in preparation to come to America, but sickness prevented him doing so.  He often remarked that his body was in England but his thoughts were in America.

When Joseph came back to Illinois, our subject bought at different times 400 acres of land in Moiltrie and Macon Counties.  The greater part of the land however, is situated on section 15, Dora Township, Moultrie County.  Although the farm is all in one, divided only by the invisible county line.  The farm is one of the best in the community, in fact it ranks among the model farms of the nineteenth century.  There he engages in stock-raising in addition to general farming, and keeps on hand a fine grade of horse, cattle and hogs.  The improvements upon the place all stand as monuments to his thrift and enterprise, and the buildings are excellent, including a fine barn, which was erected at a cost of $6,000.

In his political affiliations, Mr Stocks is identified with the Democratic party, and has held the office of Township Clerk or Dora County.  Socially, he is connected with the Masonic and Odd Fellows’ fraternities and the Knights of the Maccabees.  Upright and honourable in all his dealings, he is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and enjoys the respect and esteem of the entire community in which he lives, and to this regard he is justly entitles.

Family Tree - Dave Pickles

Email correspondance
“Christening records suggest there may have been other children in the gap between the first two.

In 1841 Thomas and Zilpah were both servants at Town Hill House, Bradford (near Wakefield Road). Ten years later they ran the Wellington Inn, Bingley, and William was lodging with them along with a 7-year-old ‘nephew’ Thomas Wood - was he the son of an unknown sister of Thomas? Later they moved to Leeds together with the nephew) and ran a butchers shop. They had one son, Thomas Whitaker Pickles who married in 1878 and lived in Bingley; the marriage was childless.

Robert and Hannah lived in Bingley all their lives except for a period around 1860 when they were in Kildwick, and worked in the weaving trade. They had three children. In 1851 Caroline was living with them in Bingley.

Dineley disappears after 1841. There was a Dinley Pickles, coal miner later grocer in Methley, Leeds, who was born in 1831 the son of a Thomas Pickles and died in 1880, but there is no proven link to this family.

Caroline married in 1859 to a widower 17 years her senior and with 5 grown-up children. Initially a Corn Miller, in 1861 he was innkeeper at the Globe Inn, Toller Lane, Bradford. However by 1871 he was a labourer in Bingley. The couple had three children of their own including a pair of twins named Thomas and Zilpha after her eldest brother and his wife.

The parents and all of the other children disappear between 1841 and 1851.

Email correspondance and GenesReunited
“John (b 1776, d 27 Jan 1853) married Mary ? (b 1780, d 3 Jan 1860) John was born in Latham, Yorkshire but lived all his adult life in Bolton Lancashire. His occupation is described as 'Oil Sheet Worker' in the 1851 census, a 'Tarpaul Sheet  Maker' on Mary's death cert. and an 'Oil Cloth Maker' on his own death cert. During his time in Bolton he lived at 34 Crook Street and this is the address given on his death cert. John and Mary's children are: Sarah Ann (b 1803), Cornelius (b 1805), Jonathon (b 1810), Mary (b 1813), Ellen (b1815) and Benjamin (b1822).

I think I've located Latham as a small hamlet on the outskirts of Gomersal in West Yorkshire but as yet I haven't been able to find John's birth.

I am confused about one thing, I have another Jonathan, also born to John and Mary and also baptised at Moor Lane Baptist, but this one's date of birth is 21 Jan 1827. So there's a bit of sorting out to do!

I'll let you digest this lot to start with, let me know if I can help with anything more.

I live in Quorn, Leicestershire so researching in Yorkshire isn't easy. Where are you located?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, Benjamin did marry Patience Oldham daughter of Samuel Oldham of Stowe, Warwickshire. A further piece of information about Cornelius, he was married twice. The first time to Margaret Miller ( as recorded in the Moor Lane Baptist record) and then to Esther Scowcroft.

I have been told (although I haven't seen it myself yet) that Cornelius and Esther are buried in Darcy Lever, Bolton parish churchyard along with two sons and a daughter, Josiah (d 03/06/1846) age 5 years, Ephraim (d
23/02/1849) age 9 months and Sarah Ellen (d 18/09/1912) age 61 years. I believe these are children of the second marriage.

Descendants of Christian Fredrich Dittmer


Generation No. 1

1.  CHRISTIAN FREDRICH1 DITTMER  He married MARIA LUISE BLIESENER. 
    
Children of CHRISTIAN DITTMER and MARIA BLIESENER are:
2.    i.    JOHN HENRY CHRISTIAN (CHRISTOPHER)2 DITTMER, b. 19 Jun 1845, Neu Massow, Pommern, Prussia, Germany; d. Abt. 1902, Liverpool.
    ii.    HERMAN DITTMER, b. Abt. 1857.


Generation No. 2

2.  JOHN HENRY CHRISTIAN (CHRISTOPHER)2 DITTMER (CHRISTIAN FREDRICH1) was born 19 Jun 1845 in Neu Massow, Pommern, Prussia, Germany, and died Abt. 1902 in Liverpool.  He married CATHAINE MARIA MARGARETTIA Bet. Oct - Dec 1874.  She was born in Germany.

Notes for JOHN HENRY CHRISTIAN (CHRISTOPHER) DITTMER:
In the census of 1881 the Dittmers are the only family in Lancashire with this surname- there was a border staying with them by the name of Herman Dittmer (possibly a brother?).

1881 census details as follows;

Surname        Given Names        Age        Sex        Position

Dittmer        Christian        36        M        Head
Dittmer        Margaret        24        F        Wife
Dittmer        Herman            24        M        Border
Dittmer        Dorothy            12        F        Daughter
Dittmer        Mary            5        F        "           "
Dittmer        George            2        M        Son
Dittmer        Christopher Frederick    3mths        M        "   "        

A problem with this is that Dorothy must have been the daughter froma previous marriage as Margaret is too young to have given birth to her.

By 1891 Christian (Christopher) is shown as a Sugar Boiler maker living at 45 Ascot Street.  No sign of Dorothy oin the Census form so she may have married in the interim, or I guess have died.

1901 Census- living at 13 Lambeth Rd , Kirkdale,

“(1) John Mather  I have a copy of the grave records dated 1873 which are in the family.  The grave was bought originally for £2 by Elizabeth in 1865 and is in Tonge and Haulgh cemetery (at the back of where Fred Dibnah used to live)  Ref - 2:F:29NC  There are 3 inmates buried as follows:
       25/3/1865            John Mather                49 years
       15/11/1902          Ruth Inman                 48 years
       9/11/1908            Hannah Richardson     65 years
There is no tombstone but  I think it is next to the grave bought by John's brother George also in 1865 when his first wife died.  I copied the epitaph from the tombstone  as matriarch Alice Mather, Samuel’s widow, is buried here as well as George and family.

(2) Elizabeth Kay was probably a reeler in the cotton industry in 1841 -  I've come across this job title before.  Her death certificate says she died "by the visitation of God from natural causes".  No wonder there was an inquest!

(3) Ruth Mather was born on 2 August 1854 at 58 Chorley St.  Her father John was then a time keeper according to the birth certificate.  She was aged 16 on the 1871 census but a line is across the employment column so I don't know whether she worked prior to her marriage.  She married James Inman on 9th  April 1879 at the former Claremont Baptist Church, Bolton - where I was also married just over 90 years later.  Amos Inman and Sarah Alice Mather were witnesses.

James Inman was born in Richmond, Yorkshire on 22th  July  1852, son of Dorothy and David a stonemason who died young.  James was a stationer in 1871 and sometime before 1879,  for reasons unknown, moved from the rather imposing Frenchgate in Richmond to be a boarder at Clarence St Bolton.  He was a bookseller's assistant at Winterburns bookshop on Deansgate.  My aunt tells me he lost his job when the son of the owner was old enough to work in the shop.  Presumably he then decided to follow Joseph to Birkenhead where he had a similar job as a stationer’s assistant.  Here began a grim life for the family.  Birth, death and census records show at least 6 different addresses for the family although I understand it was not unusual for famillies living in towns in Victorian times to move frequently.  As you know 2 of the 5 children died:
Elizabeth Dora Inman died 19 January 1894 from T.B. ) I have their death certs
William Inman died 7 March 1894 from meningitis      )
Maybe it was all too much for James.  Rumour suggested that although he was registered as deceased on Sarah Ellen's 1908 marriage certificate and Ruth Mather’s 1902 death certificate he had in fact gone off to Australia.  The new emigration website finds him aged 47 on a passenger list for Sydney in 1900 but I don't know if he went alone.  It would be interesting to find out what then happened to him.

By 1901 Ruth and her daughters were living in Bolton with sister Hannah and husband at the Royal Tiger pub at 2/4 Noble Street.  Ruth died the following year aged 48 at 16 Osborne Street from pneumonia and and heart failure.

Inman daughters

 

Sarah Ellen married my grandfather Alfred Hunt, a plumber, in 1908.  They emigrated to Toronto, Canada where they had a good life for a few years until they were probably persuaded by my greatgrandfather James Hunt to return in 1913.  A terrible mistake.  Another grim time followed marked by extreme poverty.  Of their 5 children Ruth, Jim and Nell were born in Canada and the younger 2 Alfred and Lilian (still alive and has provided some of the above information) in Bolton.  Sarah Ellen died in Bolton in 1951.

Lilian and Margaret also emigrated to Canada.  Lilian married (I have the wedding photo) and moved to Vancouver taking Margaret with her.  I met these 2 ladies when they came over for my aunt Lilian's wedding c.1947.  Lilian senior was a large domineering woman and Margaret a small, thin, frail spinster.  They died in Vancouver.

(4)  Hannah Richardson nee Mather  and Robert Buchan Richardson
I wonder if this couple had a baby late in life- Hannah would have been 49 or whether the following refers to a grandchild
Robert Buchan Richardson   BIRTH  BOLTON 1894 MAR 8c 457
  "                                         DEATH BOLTON 1894 SEPT 8c 191 aged 0

I found these workhouse records quite harrowing.  Could nobody in the family have helped?  John B lived quite a while after this
24/12/1907    Admitted from Bolton - John Mather labourer born 1852 aged 55   Destitution and fractured ribs
26/12/1907    Admitted from Bolton - Hannah Richardson born 1842 (actually 1844) aged 65 (incorrect)   Jack Frame Tenter  Destitution, Filthy and Cellulitis of the neck
6/1/1908        Richardson Hannah 65 Dead Interred by friends  Cause of death cellulitis of neck/toxaemia  Spinster from the workhouse (wrong again).

“Hello John

The only info I have on John Buckley ABT 1776 is that he was from Lathom in Yorkshire, which you probably know anyway.

Two weeks ago I visited St Stephens Church in Darcy Lever as my parents still live near by (Radcliffe) to see which Buckley's where buried there.

I found that Cornelius was in there with his wife Esther Scowcroft and there Daughter Mary but apart from a couple others that's the only relations what where buried there.

Do you live in that area???

Judging by your e-mail reply I am guessing that you have a lot of info like dates etc on the Buckley Family anyway?

Anyway thanks for you reply and keep in touch and if you want anything else I will try and help

“I think the Pighills family tree is incorrect. My wife is descended from Timothy Pighills (1838 to 1899).

His father was married twice, first to Sarah Smith in 1815, who was buried in 1822, and then married Ann Pighills in 1824.

The children from his first marriage were Martha and Joseph.

The children of John (the father) appear to have been involved in the sale of butter and eggs through Timothy’s wholesale business, with one of his brothers farming in Westmoreland and the remainder in and around Addingham.



I have not proven the identities of John and Ann Pighills, although I am reasonably certain that John was born in Wilsden and baptised in Haworth.

“I know that Alice Mather was living with her daughter and son-in-law in 1861 at 167 Lever Street, Bolton.  Also living with them were Maria Barrow (Happy’s daughter from her first marriage to John Barrow) and Samuel Shuttleworth (Phineas & Happy’s son and my great grandfather).  Happy & Phineas also had another son, Thomas, born in 1858 but he died in 1859.

Maria Barrow went on to marry William Collins and had a son in 1864 called Jesse.  Maria died on 21st October 1866 from Phthisis (tuberculosis) aged 22 years.  This is the same Jesse Collins who is living with Phineas, Happy, Samuel and Alice Mather at 67 Blackbank Street, Bolton, on the 1871 Census.

Samuel Mather died in Bolton on 1st May 1854 at 4 Simpson Street, Bolton and his certified cause of death was apoplexy which I believe to be a stroke.  His death was registered by his daughter Happy Shuttleworth who was in attendance at the death.

Alice Mather died in Bolton on 17th November 1879 at 5 Nell Street, Bolton (she was living here with Phineas, Happy and Jesse Collins) and her certified cause of death was Natural Decay (old age I presume!).  Her death was registered by her son Samuel Mather who was in attendance at the death and who also lived in Nell Street but I’m not sure what number.”

“My name is Natalie Stocks, wife of Jerry Stocks, and I came across your Stocks family tree while doing a "google" search for our ancestor, Benjamin Stocks.  It appears that our Benjamin and your ancestor Job Stocks (wife Lucy Crosland) were brothers.  We had no information regarding Benjamin's parents or grandparents, but thanks to you, we now have found this valuable info! 

I have the following to contribute to your Stocks tree:

Benjamin and Sarah Campinot had the following children:

Mary b. 10/06/1819 m. William R. Boothroyd (4 children)

Ellen b. 06/14/1822 d. 1852 m. Mr. Ashton (3 children)

George b. 12.26/1824 (our ancestor) d. 1893, IL m. Miriam Epworth

James b. 09/29/1827

Ann b. 08/08/1830 m. Mr. Bennett d. 10/1870

Emma b. 03/01/1836 d. 03/06/1853

Joseph b. 04/06/1838 d. 06/16/1928, IL

Our aunt's traveled to Berry Brow, Armitage Bridge last spring to locate tombstones and such.  Would love to share additional information about the Stocks family.  We have letters written by Job Stocks upon the death of his brother Benjamin to his children who immigrated to America in 1850.  Look forward to sharing more!

Thank you

Natalie and Jerry Stocks, IL, USA”

“I believe Sarah Margaret Tyack was sister to Elizabeth Tyack, an ancestor (my 3x great grandmother) I’ve been trying to trace. From what I’ve found Sarah appears to have been the youngest of 4 (Jane c.1833, Elizabeth c.1839, James 1840, Sarah Margaret 1847). Their parents, James and Mary were from Ireland and Harlech,  Merionthshire (Wales) respectively. They spent some time in Liverpool (where Jane and Elizabeth were both born) before moving to 82 Mersey Street, Seacombe some time between 1839-40. In the 1841 census James’ occupation is listed as ‘Boatman’ while the 1851 census shows him as working as a Dock Gateman.

By the 1861 census the family, with the exception of Jane who had presumably left home,  had moved to 200 Price Street, Birkenhead and enlarged by 2 – Elizabeth’s now husband, Robert Hamilton and their first child Elizabeth Ann. In addition the family had 2 lodgers sharing the house.

By April 1863 when Robert and Elizabeth had their second child, John Whinton, the Hamiltons had moved out to a home of their own at Rosemount, Oxton. 

The 1871 census shows only Mary and Sarah Margaret living together at 56 Cathcart Street, Birkenhead. Although Mary is recorded as married rather than widowed, she is registered as head of the household. There is no sign of either James senior or junior – both may of course have died in the intervening time or perhaps one or both emigrated (?) Mary’s status as head of the household does of course suggest that at any rate James senior was no longer residing at the family home (as opposed to simply being out at the time of the census).

By the 1881 census Mary and Sarah had moved down the road to 144 Cathcart Street. In this census Mary is registered as a widow. They are however joined by another James Tyack (11 months old) who is registered as son of the head of the household. By this time Mary was 76 suggesting that perhaps James was the illegitimate son of Sarah or possibly one of Mary’s other children.

Following Sarah’s death in 1885, her mother Mary passed away in 1890 (death register of Jan-Mar vol. 8a pg 399). There is no record on the 1891 census of the young James – perhaps he was adopted and therefore his name was changed or possibly died in infancy(?)

“My mother is Pamela Elizabeth Dittmer (married Martin David Beard in 1958), I have one sister Andrea Elizabeth...my grandmother was Newman (from County Meath - family on same piece of land for 400 odd years), my grandfather died in 1988, never met him as we emigrated to NZ in 1966 (long story - won't bore you with it here but one for a ph converstaion or a meeting).....my great grandfather (Christoher Frederick) was torpedoed in WW1 by a U Boat boat - he was on the SS Verdi - he a 2/3 others died - U boat commmander was Hans Rose later went on to be CO of the U Boat force in WW2.

My great great grandfather moved to Liverpool with the rest of the family from Neu Massow in Prussia in the mid 1800's - only Dittmers in Liverpool ... Sugar workers.....

Alice Dittmer did indeed die in Port Sunlight - was a retirement home for people who worked for Sunlight Soap - my Mum tells the whole story - quite sad really ...

My Mums brother was Fred - policeman in Liverpool - died of a stroke (I think) mid 1970's.

My first cousin is Steve Dittmer - works for United Utilities, 2 sons Tim (used to be Liverpool and Ireland under 17 goalkeeper) and Jon (works in the court service in Manchester).”

Newspaper - Birkenhead News 1908

" BOWLS " by Scotch Bias
“( Photograph of Mr John Mather. )
Hon sec, Gladstone Liberal Club.

Our Portrait.    Mr. John Mather, whose portrait comes into our picture gallery to-day is known throughout Birkenhead and Wirral as an enthusiast of many forms of sport and athletics.  Thirteen years ago Mr Mather succeeded “Scotch Bias” as secretary of the finest second class football club recorded in the annals of the Cheshire Rugby Union, and even before that date the present secretary of the glorious fraternity of Gladstone Liberal bowlers chased the inflated leather in winter, and wielded the willow in summer. John Mather was born in an atmosphere of homely life and affection nurtured on the principles of integrity and uprightness, and to-day he emulates a worthy father and citizen.  But if he shines as a secretary, for he is an example as an energetic and painstaking official, he too can play bowls to his own satisfaction, and as often as not to the discomfortture of his opponents. When a resident of the North end of the borough Mr Mather was a member of the Birkenhead Park B.C. for five years (1897 to 1902) then like all good subjects of the King, he took unto himself a wife, and in the latter years he removed to the breezy and sylvan heights of Tranmere.  ln 1902 he joined the Gladstone section of bowlers, and in due course was offered and accepted the post of hon. secretary, whilst he filled every office with the exception of treasurer.  Mr Mather has also been on tile handicapping committee for five seasons and his knowledge of this particular branch is extensive. Coming from a family of bowlers, the subject of this sketch has won several prizes and in due coarse he will doubtless quality for further honours in that direction.  In conclusion it can be said of Mr John Mather that he is proud of his club and his connection with the game, and no doubt his admiration of his fellows is reciprocated in their knowledge of his efforts, and their appreciation of his work on behalf of bowls generally.
He is a genial and kindly young man and we wish him well.

W.C.

Newspaper - Henry Smith Inquest

Keighley News
“Microfilm copy of Keighley News Newspaper.
Saturday February 23, 1867.
INQUEST. - Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. Thomas Emmott, Busfield Arms Inn, Morton before Mr. Brown, coroner for the district, on view of the body of Henry Smith, farm labourer, who recently lived at the Old Lime Kilns, Cross Flats, near Bingley, who died about ten o'clock on Wednesday evening at Mr. John Stebbings', farmer, Cliffe, Morton.
The first witness called was his wife, Sarah, who deposed:  My husband was 44 years of age.  He was an out-door labourer.  On Tuesday morning, about two o'clock, I awoke out of my sleep, and I heard him crying and sobbing.  About seven o'clock he got his breakfast, and afterwards went to his work.  He continued at his work up to Wednesday noon, when he came home, the work being done.  He got a little dinner, but appeared to be in trouble.  After dinner he said "I will go up to James Tomlinson's, an Morton, and I might go to Keighley before I come home again."  We got our tea about six o'clock, and a little before nine we got ready for bed.  I went up stairs.  He said he wanted to go out, and he would fasten the door.  He went to the door, but in a very short time returned and called out "Is there any more tea in the pot than what the children will want in the morning?"  I told him I thought there was.  Soon after and came up stairs and said, "Well, children, I hope you will do your best to your mother, for I shall not be alive in the morning." and he came to the bed-side and undressed himself.  He told not to be at any particular expense in burying him, and I said to him, "You have been taking something."  He answered, "I have taken poison.  I have it in me."  I got up and knocked at the other house and ran down stairs.  He was down as soon as me, and he let us out of the house and got away.  I sent for a doctor; and when we were looking for him, a young man came and told us where he was.  I went: and when I got there, between nine and ten o'clock, they were holding him up.  I just saw him alive in his last struggle.  He was in convulsions.  He did not speak to me, but he fixed his eyes upon me.  I did not know what he had got.  I scraped some powder of the table and gave it to the policeman.
Charles Francis Malvern, a youth deposed: I live at Keighley, and am an apprentice to Mr. Wilkinson, chemist.  On Wednesday last, about half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, I saw a labouring man in our shop.  I served him with sixpenny-worth of vermin powder, and he paid me for it in silver, and walked out of the shop.  The bill now produced is one of our bills, and similar to the one in which I wrapped the packet of vermin powder; and also the label on the broken packet is our label.
John Stebbings deposed:  I live at Cliffe, Morton and am a farmer.  On Wednesday evening, the deceased came into our house, a little after nine o'clock, and he said to me, "Will you let me sit down a little.  I feel poorly:"  and he sat down by the fire-side.  I asked him if he had any drink, and he said "No."  He seemed to be very ill.  I asked him if he would have some tea, and he said "no." and seeing that he was ill, I asked him if I must send for his wife, but he said "No," and he stretched himself out in the chair and called out "I am going to die."  I thought he was in a fit.  In a bit he came round a little; he asked me if I had a bed at liberty, so that he could lay himself down.  A bed was got ready, and he was taken up stairs.  By this time a good many people had got in.  He died upstairs about ten o'clock.
Police-constable Hainesworth deposed: On Wednesday night I received information of the death of Henry Smith.  I went to the house of Mr. John Stebbings, where he was.  I had him removed to his house.  I searched him, and found the papers produced and examined by Mr. Wilkinson's assistant.
The jury, after a little consultation, returned a verdict that the deceased poisoned himself when in a fit of temporary insanity.

“NORTH-END RESIDENTS DEATH
General regret has been expressed over the North End of the borough at the death of Mr. Joseph Mather, who passed away at his residence, 282 St. Anne Street, on Friday last, at the ripe old age of 79 years.  Mr. Mather was an old member of the Iron Founders’ Society, and in 1915 celebrated his golden wedding.
As a member of the North End Liberal Club he took an active part in that organisation, and he held the office of vice-president for several years.  Indeed, he was an ardent Radical, whilst he claimed 63 years of continuous membership as an Oddfelow.  In sporting circles, Mr Mather was a keen supporter of Birkenhead Park Rugby football, and he was a bowler of considerable merit.  The late Mr. Mather’s son, Mr. John Mather, will be recognised as a prominent member of the Birkenhead and Wirral Bowling Association.
The funeral took place on Tuesday at Flaybrick-hill Cemetery on Tuesday, there being a large number of relatives and friends present.  Prior to the interment a service was held at Laird-street Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. Evans and Mr. J Holland (nephew of the deceased) conducting the service both at the church and graveside.  The chief mourners present where Mrs. Mather (widow), John and Richard (sons), Mrs. Hopwood, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Nugent, and Miss Mather (daughters), Mr John Mather (brother), Mr. E Hopwood, Mr. J Robinson, Mr. J Nugent (sons-in-law), Mrs. John Mather, Mrs. Richard Mather (sisters-in-law), Hilda and Tom Robinson, Edie and Flo Hopwood, Joe, Albert, Jack, and Nellie Mather, Willie and Marge Nugent (grand-children), Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Blair, Mrs J S Jones, Mr. T Horsfall.  The four bearers – Messrs. H Oxley, A Kendrick, W Roberts, and F Monks – were old workmates of deceased and also represented the Ironfounders Society.  Among the many general mourners were Alderman A Godwin, Messers G P Snape, J.P.  W Malley, J Johnson, J R Lownes, G White, W Skyrme (representing the North End Liberal Club), Mr. and Mrs. D Evans, Mr. E H Smith, Mr. W Johnson, Mr F Faragher, Mr. and Mrs. Woodhouse, Mr Nelson and daughters Mrs. G Molley, Mrs. J Molley, Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Dickenson, Mrs. B James etc.  Many beautiful floral tributes were sent.

Newspaper - Solomon Mather

The Late Mr Solomon Mather of Eagley
“A quaint old Lancashire worthy is being interred today
in Walmsley Churchyard in the person of the
late Mr. Solomon Mather, of Perk Terrace, Eagley
Bank, who died Tuesday in the 91st year of his
age.  He was born at Hall-i’th’-Wood, where he
received such education as was in those days imparted
as a Dame’s School.  His father was an old Hand-
loom weaver who brought his goods to the
open market at the top of Bank-street
in the customary wallet.  When the firm of Messrs
Chadwick and Bro. Was established at Eagley,
Solomon Mather went to work there, and remained
with the firm for 53 years, retiring at the age of 75.
He was a staunch Liberal in politics, but, curious to
relate, never had a vote until the last two
years, and then had not an opportunity of
exercising the privilege.  He recollected the battle
of Waterloo, and was full of anecdotes of
Peterloo, and Henry Hunt, whose carriage he helped
to drag part of the way from Eagley Bank to
Salford, the party wearing the proverbial white hat.
Mr. Mather was of a very social disposition, and
consequently much esteemed by a large circle of
acquaintances.  All his life he was fond of outdoor
sports, and loved the “jack” on the bowling
green, which he followed as recently
as a week before his death.  Many friends at
the Back-o’th’-Bank Green provided him with his
favourite recreation, which was recommended by the
late Dr. Rothwell as a means of maintaining his
health.  He had been a widower for many years, and
lived with his son-in-law, Mr. James Haslam.  There
are two children and numerous grandchildren living
to perpetuate his name.
