<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Today on the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings I am thinking of all the brave men and women who were involved in the day that was to have a huge impact on our lives today. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">I am sure that every one of us has pondered on the sheer scale of the day as it played out, the scene that would be witnessed on the beaches of France on 6th June 1944 was a far cry from the picture that appears in our minds today when the word "beach" is mentioned. The modern media showing photos, video footage and telling the veterans stories all allow us to listen in awe as to how brave these men and women were. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">But how did the day affect the local people of Chesterfield? What would they know of the day without the TV, computers and our beloved smart phone? There would have been no quick photos sent to family members as the men set off, no texts saying "arrived safe".......</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;">The D-Day landings were reported in the local newspaper the Derbyshire Times. Our ancestors would read the front page just a few days after the landings and be told "<em>our forces established on French coast" "losses lighter than expected". </em><span style="color: black;">The locals must have been over joyed, a turn in the tide of the second World War. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: black;">Could this be the way to the end of this terrible war? Would our husbands, son's and daughters soon be home safe and sound? Would the rationing and air raids be at an end?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;">All of the local Churches in Chesterfield and around the country were opened for silent prayer of thanks and services were held to pray for the safe return of the brave soldiers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S5oa7cC5Iy4/U5HEt0MBfFI/AAAAAAAAAkw/n9LvA-s95u8/s1600/hospital.1.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S5oa7cC5Iy4/U5HEt0MBfFI/AAAAAAAAAkw/n9LvA-s95u8/s1600/hospital.1.png" width="271" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pyPHSwA6x28/U5HEo0yVDMI/AAAAAAAAAko/WTNZ7hgEK0s/s1600/hospital+.2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pyPHSwA6x28/U5HEo0yVDMI/AAAAAAAAAko/WTNZ7hgEK0s/s1600/hospital+.2.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">I was surprised to read that the Royal Hospital in Chesterfield was ordered to reduce it's inpatients in expectation of their being large numbers of wounded who would be transported to this hospital after the invasion. Chesterfield is one of the most in-land towns in England, this is why I was surprised to hear that wounded soldiers would be sent such a distance from the coast to this small market town for treatment.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">In fact it was reported that over 150 men were treated at Chesterfield Royal Hospital the following week. They arrived by road in ambulances and converted buses from the base hospitals in nearby Nottingham, the first 20 men on Sunday evening 11th June, over 80 men on the afternoon of 12th June and the remainder more than 40 men on Tuesday 13th June. It didn't take long for the news of the Royal Hospital's heroic patients to spread around the town and the Chesterfield inhabitants were soon assembled as a large crowd to applaud and cheer their brave soldiers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IFCNqVJUoqI/U5HL0I1YE0I/AAAAAAAAAlI/J5XxVp2pY2M/s1600/blood+doners.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IFCNqVJUoqI/U5HL0I1YE0I/AAAAAAAAAlI/J5XxVp2pY2M/s1600/blood+doners.png" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;">The men were reported as being a "<em>cheerful crowd of men" </em>although their uniforms were soiled but they were in good spirits. It appeared that the majority of these men had been wounded by sniper fire in the opening hours of the invasion. The fact that so many had gun shot wounds to the arms was causing great amusement, the men joking about the lack of skill the German marksmen had in the accuracy of their shot.<br />
<br />
One young lad of around 20 years old had his bullet removed from the side of his torso, he was said to have been looking forward to returning the bullet to its owners; the Germans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;">Two of the men were local men; Lance Corporal Fred Gibbions of Heaton Street and Sergeant Samuel George Evans of Rooths Row, Barker Lane. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Chesterfield had another hero of the D-Day landings; a warship named Danae which the locals had "adopted" during "warship week". HMS Danae was a D class cruiser (1), she took part in Operation Neptune. Her part in the battle can be read </span><a href="http://d-dayrevisited.co.uk/d-day/operation-neptune.html"><span style="color: black;">here.</span></a><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: black;">There were countless stories of heroes and sacrifice which appeared in the following weeks and months of the local men who played their parts in Operation Overlord. </span><span style="color: black;">Here are some of the stories of our local heroes.............</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>*Ordinary Seaman Bernard Harvey</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WForrWGuUyU/U5HQ0KgiQ9I/AAAAAAAAAlg/PPSxEuqMEKs/s1600/Harvey.1b.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WForrWGuUyU/U5HQ0KgiQ9I/AAAAAAAAAlg/PPSxEuqMEKs/s1600/Harvey.1b.png" width="209" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Bernard was only 18 years old, he was the son of Mr and Mrs W.E Harvey of 21 St Augustines Avenue, Chesterfield. He told how he was a gunner on his vessel along with two other Derbyshire boys, one being "Toby" from Clay Cross. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">The war ship Bernard was aboard had taken a quiet passage onto the northern coast of France, the silence only being broken by the singing of the "Tommies". Bernard and his comrades were in the first wave of troops to enter the invasion of the Normandy beaches.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">The role of Bernard's vessel was to chaperone the troop ships to Cherbourg, the R.A.F being on watch from the skies. They were hit by enemy aircraft, but luckily for Bernard and his fellow men the enemy plane was shot down before any further harm could be done.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">The following day the war ship returned to England to collect more troops, a day later they were back at Cherbourg dropping them off. Bernard told how the ship was spotted by an E Boat, but they rammed the smaller vessel and in his words the vessel "was done for".</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Bernard had joined the Royal Navy in 1943, prior to that he worked for the L.M.S railway. He was also a Leading Seaman for the Chesterfield Sea Cadets which he had been a member of since he was 13 years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia;">*Paratrooper Dennis Fox</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iExnNT-DJK8/U5IBKF3k8YI/AAAAAAAAAl0/6i44OBlWrjE/s1600/Dennis+Fox.1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iExnNT-DJK8/U5IBKF3k8YI/AAAAAAAAAl0/6i44OBlWrjE/s1600/Dennis+Fox.1.png" width="186" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Dennis was the son of Mrs Alice Davison of 79 Park Road, Boythorpe, Chesterfield. Poor Mrs Davison had no idea that her son was involved in the D-Day landings, it was only after some weeks that she began to become anxious as she did not receive and communication from Dennis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;">Dennis had been heavily involved in the invasion and his story is one of true courage. Dennis and his comrades were engaged in holding a bridge when he became estranged from the rest of his unit. He was alone and saw a German sniper, as he was about to try to take the sniper he was "pounced on by a German squad". Dennis described them as "hefty blighters". They took his tunic and told him to remove his trousers also. Dennis was not to be easily commandeered and so he made a run for it, in his words he "managed to give them the slip". </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">The German's did search for Dennis and general gun fire was fired around at random, unfortunately a shell fell close and wounded him in the arm and the leg. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dennis was in hiding for 2 days until he came across the Royal Field Artillery unit who provided him with bandages and led him to safety. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia;">Dennis, who was reunited with his mother for leave, had previously served with the local regiment of the Sherwood Foresters. Prior to the war he had worked as an </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">engineers fitter for Sheepbridge Stokes and Holloway Brothers outcast coal company.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">*Marine Commando Charles Kelley</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Charles was aged 19 years old, the son of Mr and Mrs G Kelley of 42 Compton Street, Chesterfield.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Charles was one of the first wave of the invasion, luckily his landing craft managed to negotiate the underwater obstacles and the mines. The craft was however struck by a shell and so along with the sniper fire some of the men were wounded. Charles was hit by a snipers bullet which shattered his right arm and he was being treated at Hospital in Sheffield.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">He described how they had the objectives to reach a radio location unit, passing along pill boxes and slit trenches along the way. They did well until they reached the radio box which was made of concrete.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Charles told of the female snipers who were almost fanatical for the German honour. He said that the caused many injuries amongst the allies and that when they were captured they would chant "Heil Hitler" and "Heil the Reich".</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Prior to the war Charles was employed by Messrs Pearson's Potteries on Whittington Moor, Chesterfield.</span><div><font face="georgia"><br /></font></div><div><font face="georgia">Charles' uncle Frederick Kelley was killed during the <a href="https://chesterfieldww2.blogspot.com/2020/06/chesterfield.html" target="_blank">Dunkirk evacuation</a>.<br /></font>

<strong><span style="font-family: georgia;">*Lieutentant Alfred Laurence Head</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Alfred Head aged 29 years old lived with his wife at his home at Summerfield House, Park Road, Chesterfield. He was killed in action in Normandy after the invasion on 11th June 1944.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Alfred had a wide range of military experience, having fought in the Middle East and joined up in 1940 with the 6th Battalion Home Guards.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: georgia;">Alfred was the son of Mr and Mrs A J Head of Bedford, he had schooled at Dulwich College and came to Chesterfield in 1938. He spoke French and German fluently and was passionate about literature and music.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Chesterfield had a large
population of Irish immigrants, my ancestor’s included.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of the families lived in an area known
as the “Dog Kennels”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was an area of terraced street's at the back of Low Pavement in the centre of Chesterfield.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The name, although apt for the area of slums was actually taken from its original use - as "subscription dog kennels". The streets became home for many unsavoury characters, the crime rate was high and so when the poor Irish immigrants found themselves resident in Chesterfield the "dog Kennels" were probably the only houses that they could afford to rent. </span>Some lucky Irish however were scattered around the town, for
example Irish shoemakers congregated on Glumangate at the other side of the town.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Their homes were often
over-crowded and several Irish families from the same area of Ireland would all live
under one roof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1851, if we took a
walk down Saltergate we may have walked past number 133.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within this house lived 11 inhabitants;</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Irish were often in
the local newspapers for their rowdy antics; most often for drunkenness and
fighting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fighting was not unique to
the Irish men though; the 2<sup>nd</sup> November 1861 issue of the
Derbyshire Times tells of the trial of Cicely Granger and Winney Varney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cicely and Winney had been harbouring ill
feelings towards each other for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They were neighbours; Cicely lived in Hollands Yard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was aged 44 years old
and from Tuam, Co Galway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cicely is
recorded on the 1861 census as Cecilia; she was married to William Granger.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It appears that on the day
in question Cicely had called on Winney and challenged her to a fight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Winney had on her person a large sand hammer,
which she had hidden from Cicely under her apron.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On receiving the challenge to fight she
struck Cicely on the head and caused her serious injury.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were many witnesses to the incident,
telling how Winney had been drinking earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In conclusion of the trial the magistrate was left unable to decide
which of the two “ladies” was the worst and duly dismissed the case.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This was not the end of
the argument however, as family loyalties were high, Mary Granger the daughter
of Cicely caught up with Winney a few days later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This once more resulted in a row, which led
to a fight between the two ladies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once
more the magistrate dismissed the case.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Many of the Irish menfolk
worked at the coal mines around the Chesterfield area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The train taking the miners to work was nick
named the “Paddy Mall” and would transport the men to and from the mines for a
small fee which was paid on a fortnightly basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often the men were found to have been
travelling without a ticket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Various
excuses would be given and promises of better behaviour next time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Irish miners were said to have been more
likely to spend their hard earned wages on beer and gambling than a train ticket (well this is what
I have been told in relation to my 3 x Great Grandfather anyway!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In November 1894 the body
of an Irish labourer named John Hannan was found drowned in the Chesterfield
Canal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John was last seen when he left
his home in Shakespears Yard to board the “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mall”

about 100 yards from the station”</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">It went to Staveley Town, where John worked for Messrs. Logan and
Hemmingway on the steam navvy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When John
did not come home that evening his brother Patrick went around all the public
houses to find him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He continued his
search until 10.30pm on Wednesday night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On Saturday after hearing nothing from John he returned to the canal and
found his body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A letter was found on
John’s person, which was from a relative in Russeltown thanking him for money
he has sent them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also had a knife,
pocket book, beads, cross and a few other small articles in his pockets.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

Irish who took their final breaths in Chesterfield Town would probably have been laid to rest in Spital Cemetery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A large area of the graveyard is allocated to

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">The death of the Reverend Walker was incorrectly
published as his initials “J H” should be “T H” – Thomas Harrison Walker.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Thomas was born at Hecknondwike in Yorkshire around 1878.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">He was a Wesleyan Minister and we can see from census
returns that he travelled around the country for his calling.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">In 1851 Thomas is aged 62 years old and he and his wife
Sarah were living at Union Street, Horncastle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They have a servant lady named Ann Wilson who was from Dronfield,
Derbyshire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Ten years on and in 1861 Thomas is now living in
Chesterfield at Saltergate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly Thomas
is now a widower as Sarah had passed away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Obviously not one to sit about in 1871 and aged 81 years
old Thomas had moved home again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now he
is living at Chorlton On Medlock near Manchester, still recorded as a Wesleyan
Minister.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Young Albert sadly appeared in this week’s deaths as he
passed away aged only 5 years old on 30<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> June 1874.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">He was born in 1869 at North Waltham, the son of Henry
and Lucy Bone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the 1871 census Albert
and his family are still living at North Waltham in Hampshire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has 3 elder siblings; George, Daniel and
Mary and a younger brother 7 month old Walter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Henry is an agricultural labourer and so it would appear that he brought
his family to Derbyshire in order to find work.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Things didn’t get much better for Albert’s mother as a
few years later in 1878 she lost her husband Henry, his death is registered in
the Worksop Registration District.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">In 1881 Lucy is living in the village of Clowne in
between Chesterfield and Worksop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is
only 41 years old but is a widow with 4 children; Henry, Daniel, Mary and Lucy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little Lucy is only 3 years old so she may
well have been born just after the death of her father, poor Lucy snr would
have been heavily pregnant at the time of her husband’s death.</span></span></div>

</span>He was working for Staveley Coal and Iron Company at Barlborough
Colliery when he was “hanging-on” at an incline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was “accidently crushed between a colliery
waggon and a post” on 21<sup>st</sup> August.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He received serious injuries but did appear to be getting better until
his situation worsened and he died from his injuries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The inquest was heard at the Angel Hotel,
Clowne.</span></span></span><br />

<strong><em><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">Catch up on the full story of last weeks NEWS.............</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">*Thomas and Sylvia Hacking -</span></em></strong> </span> </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Last week’s NEWS told of the wedding of a Thomas Hacking
to Sylvia Stephenson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The couple tied
the knot at the Holy Trinity Church on Newbold Road, across from the
Chesterfield Union Workhouse on Sunday 24<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> June 1860.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The marriage may have taken place in
Chesterfield but the couple were to move all around the British Isles - <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thomas was born in Glossop, Derbyshire around 1833.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sylvia was born in the Black Country,
Wolverhampton around 1837.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A year after the couple was married they appear on the
1861 census with another family member; baby James Cordon Hacking who was born
in Sheffield the month earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
family are living at Furness Buildings, Newton, Ashton Under Lyne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas is employed as a boiler maker.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ten years on and the family have moved again, they are
now living Maindee, Newport, Wales.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their little brood has grown considerably; James is now 10 years, Alice
8 years, Elizabeth 6 years, Margaret 4 years, Thomas 3 years and baby girl Mary
aged just 1 year old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas has a slightly
different occupation; he is now working as a boiler inspector.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The births of the children can map the movement
of the family; up to the birth of Thomas jnr in 1868 the family were still living
in Newton, Cheshire but youngest child Mary was born in 1870 at Dukinfield,
Cheshire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The family looks to have moved
across to Wales at some point in between 1870 and the 1871 census.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another daughter is born to Thomas and Sylvia in 1872
Sarah E at Newport, Wales.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It looks as
though they all then moved back to England as sadly Sylvia dies aged just 38
years old in 1875 at Ashton Under Lyne.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the 1881 census Thomas is living with another lady
named Amelia, there is a likely marriage in 1877 at Stockport for Thomas
Hacking and Amelia Heywood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas and
Amelia are living at 204 Audley Range in Blackburn with Thomas’s three
daughters; Margaret aged 14 years, Mary aged 11 years and Sarah E aged 9
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">All change again over the next 10 years as by 1891 Thomas
is recorded as a widower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have found
one possible death for Amelia in 1888 at Blackburn, but her age is given as 53
and if we go on the 1881 census information she would only be 38 years old in
1888.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas is left living with his
youngest daughter Sarah E who is now 19 years old and is employed as a cotton
weaver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They live at 40 Charles Street,
Blackburn.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have not found Thomas on the census returns after 1891,
or a death record for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does anyone
know what happened to Thomas and his family?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">His main obituary described the man most favourably “<em>his

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Samuel Burkitt was a Justice of the Peace in Chesterfield
and had suffered recently from influenza from which he had never really
regained full strength afterwards.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">He was a very energetic and enthusiastic gentleman though
and on the Saturday before his death he had been at the Bench at the
Chesterfield Petty Sessions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Sunday
he accompanied his wife and a guest Mrs Byron to Chatsworth Park to visit the
Sheffield Artillery who were camped there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The evening went much as usual, Samuel dined with his family and then
they retired to bed having had a day full of country air.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">In the early hours of the morning however, Samuel took
ill and sadly Samuel passed away before Dr Symes of Chesterfield and Dr Court
of Staveley could even attend him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So sudden was the illness that Samuel’s son
William who had earlier dined with the family was not able to get there quick
enough from his home at St Helens House in Chesterfield.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

lived at Stubbing Court, Wingerworth to run the Chesterfield branch.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Samuel was a very rich man, he had worked hard and gained such a well known reputation in Chesterfield and beyond.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The death of Mr Tom Dutton of Glossop was the cause for
much speculation and the inquest was held at the Rose and Crown Public House on
Saturday.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mrs Dutton the widow of Tom was called to give her
account; she stated that Tom was 55 years old and worked as a painter and
decorator.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had been ill for 11 weeks
after Christmas from which he had not recovered.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the day in question Tom arrived home early and was in
an upset state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He lay down on the sofa
and rested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A daughter of Tom’s noticed
that there was a strong smell of carbolic acid and so she mixed some salt and
water to give to him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

was lying on the sofa; in an “insensible” state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> In his opinion </span>the symptoms of the death were caused by poisoning by carbolic
acid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was thought that Tom had taken
the acid in “a crude commercial form” and had drunk at least half an ounce.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">*Liddell Family –<o:p></o:p></span></span></em></strong></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Mary Liddell was in trouble with the NCPCC after she was
accused of ill-treating her own son Thomas aged 9 years old and her grandson
John Thomas aged 2 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Little John Thomas was removed from the family and he was
placed in the Chesterfield Union Workhouse on Newbold Road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He appears in both the 1901 and 1911 census
as an inmate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What became of John after
that is unknown; he may well have joined up as he would have been of the age to
serve during WW1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If anyone knows his
story please do let us know.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">I can find only one Mary Ann “Liddle” living in Unstone
in 1901, just a year after little John Thomas was taken into the workhouse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is 43 years old, was born in Durham and
is married to William Liddle a coal miner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They have two sons living with them at this time; Joseph aged 14 years and
Thomas aged 12 years.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Ten years earlier in 1891 the family are living at
Lanchester.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary and William have four
children; Lizzie Ann aged 16 years, Ralph aged 10 years, Joseph aged 6 years
and Thomas aged 1 year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Was Lizzie the mother of little John Thomas?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many John Liddle’s born in the
Durham/Lanchester areas in the time period of 1897-99, one which may well be
for out little John Thomas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">What became of Lizzie? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">There is one death which fits the story
in the newspaper; 1898 in Gateshead, Durham born about 1877.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just to confuse matters however, the birth in
Gateshead for John Thomas Liddle was registered in 1899, was this the correct
Lizzie and John Thomas?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Was the birth of
John Thomas simply overlooked as a result of Lizzie’s death and registered
later?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without the birth and death
certificates I cannot say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Mary Ann Liddle is recorded as dying in 1909 aged 47
years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1911 both brothers Joseph and Thomas are
working as farm labourer servants in Unstone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mary Ann Liddell a married woman who lived at 49 Back
Row, Unstone was summoned for neglecting two children; Thomas aged 9 years and
John Thomas aged 2 years.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The N.S.P.C.C was prosecuting this serious case and told
how the young child John was suffering from “abdominal disease”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This child; John was the illegitimate son of
Mary Ann’s daughter. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This daughter was
now deceased and so the care of John had now fallen to his grandmother Mary
Ann.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The N.S.P.C.C inspector told the court how a child of
John’s age should weigh around 30lbs but this little fellow weighed only 14lbs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Inspector Butler had visited the house on 7<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
May and found it to be “in a wretchedly insanitary condition”, he had told Mary
Ann that she was neglecting the children and she needed to clean the
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The house had three rooms but
they only lived in one; this was in a terrible state, the bedding dirty and the
children wore dirty clothes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">He revisited on two successive days but Mary Ann had made
no attempt at improvement, she used abusive language at the inspector and he
became so shocked that he applied for a removal order for the two boys.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the second visit by Inspector Butler Mary Ann’s
husband was present, he showed concern and asked that he hoped that they would
not get into any trouble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this Mary
Ann told him to shut up and hit him in the mouth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She stated that they were “trying to get them
into the ……….. Workhouse”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Little John Thomas was seen by Doctor A W Shea who
confirmed that he was suffering from abdominal tuberculosis and that the
environment in which he lived would only make his health worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He told the court how John was “very
emaciated and very dirty”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the 17<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> May Inspector Wright called at the
house and issued the Liddell’s with a summons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In usual style Mary Ann attached him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mr Liddell warned the Inspector “Be careful, she will either kick you or
bite you”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He pulled her off of the
Inspector by the throat and she turned and attacked her husband instead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The focus was then turned to the state of the houses in
which the family lived; Back Row, Unstone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Inspector for the N.S.P.C.C said that he did not think that the
houses were fit for human habitation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Liddell family had an income of 34s per week, of this only 2s went
toward the rent of the house, so they were said to have had a good income to
live on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary Ann argued that she had
done her best by little John Thomas and with regard to the house, she said that
it was in such a state it didn’t matter if she cleaned it or not, it would
never be any better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A lady named
Rebecca Lilley was there as witness and backed up this statement.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mary’s husband also attended and gave a witness statement;
he of course said that Mary looked after the boy well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The court asked “I think you do as your wife
tells you?” to which he replied with laughter “I have to do so sometimes”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The court was said to have treated the situation as a
serious one and fined Mary Ann £2 including costs of 14 days imprisonment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In Matlock Bath Mr Hoyland who was the landlord of the County
and Station Hotel gave evidence after his tom cat was severely abused by George
Earp a labourer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr Hoyland described the terrible state the cat had
returned home in on 14<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> May.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>George Earp admitted to him at the time “he looks very sour, but will be
all right in the morning”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cat
however was so ill that the veterinary surgeon named Mr Clay was called for to
attend to the poor tom cat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It appears that George Earp was employed by Mr Hoyland to
perform some sort of operation on the cat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was the diabolical job that he had done that was the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George was charged by Inspector Slattery and
he admitted his guilt and also told how he had carried out the operation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had undertaken the operation without the
use of chloroform which should have been used as standard practice.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

Booker was brought up against the Chesterfield Borough Magistrates charged with
ill-treating a horse.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Albert and his companion George were accused of working a
lame horse and causing pain and suffering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They were spotted by P.C Payne in Low Pavement near the Chesterfield
Market Place; the horse was attached to a heavy market cart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>P.C Payne stated that the horse was going
lame and examined the beast to find that there was a ring bone on the near hind
leg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Booker men said that the horse
had one leg shorter than the other and that was the cause of him appearing
lame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Inspector Slattery of the R.S.P.C.A and veterinary
surgeon George Robinson were also called to give their opinion and both agreed
that the horse had a ring bone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
veterinary surgeon thought that it was an old wound and would not be causing
any pain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A woman named Ann Oates was the topic of
conversation and certainly much speculation after she lost her temper and stabbed
a man named Thomas Swinscoe.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ann lived on Eyre Street just minutes away from the scene
of the attack on Corporation Street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Thomas lodged at the Flying Dutchman public house on Knifesmith Gate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a tailor journeyman and he worked as
foreman for Mr Brown the tailor on Corporation Street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a member of the Tailor’s Union.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now, Mr Oates Ann's husband was also a tailor and on the day of the
incident he had called on Thomas to ask his professional opinion on what price
to put on a garment he had tailored.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas however did not reply, he continued in
his work at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This made Mr Oates
furious and he “bounced out of the shop, filled with rage”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he arrived home he relayed the event to
his wife Ann.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ann being the dutiful wife
was most annoyed that he husband had been treated with such contempt and the
fact that she had been drinking did much to fuel the situation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">She stormed from the house and along to face Thomas and
have it out with him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once at the
workshop where Thomas was busy practising his trade she began to tell him of
her annoyance at his behaviour but Thomas was not fazed, in fact he “received
her outbursts of wrath with stolidity that only increased her
exasperation”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ann was becoming more and
more annoyed, she became violent and threw a chair, a piece of soap and a pair
of scissors but still Thomas did not budge from his position sitting crossed
legged on the floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eventually her
anger got the better of her and she grasped hold of a large pair of sewing
shears and threw them towards his legs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The blades were said to be “a foot long and nearly two inches wide”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They hit Thomas just below the knee and
entered his body with full force.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There was another employee at the workshop and he witnessed
the event, but being scared by Ann’s actions he did nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Poor Thomas had to remove the blade from his
own leg and await Police Sergeant Yeomans to apprehend the uncontrollable

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In 1911 Archibald is still living at home with his
parents and one brother; Bertram.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
boys are both working as coal miner hewers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their father George is documented as being 59 years old which doesn’t
tally with previous census returns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From
this census we are also told that George and Hannah have been married 19 years,
they have born a grand total of 19 children, but sadly only 9 are still living,
they had lost 10 children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hannah must
have had enough on her plate in May 1900 without young Archibald getting in to
trouble, but I haven’t found any other mention of him on the wrong side of the
law so hopefully he learnt his lesson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Priscilla was the mother who allegedly assaulted a girl
who was in an argument with her daughter Lily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In 1891 Priscilla is married and living on Durrant Road
in the centre of Chesterfield with her husband Albert Thompson and their children;
Lillie aged 6 years, May aged 5 years, Oliver aged 3 years ad baby George A
aged 3 months.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The family set up seems to have changed by 1901 because
Priscilla is still recorded as married but is living along with all her
children with 47 year old Tom Brassington.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She is employed or at least documented as a servant to Tom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is a coal miner below ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ten years further on and things are again changed;
Priscilla is still recorded as married but now lives as a servant with a Robert
Brassington and her youngest son George.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They live in Sheffield now at 284 Shirland Lane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Robert is a coal miner hewer, is this the
same man as she lived with 10 years earlier? Possibly, he was unmarried and it
looks like Priscilla followed him, maybe as his “wife”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what happened to Albert Thompson?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a death registered for an Albert
Thompson in 1902 but why would Priscilla still class herself as married? Had the
pair parted before and thus she was unaware that he had died?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or was the death for another Albert Thompson?</span></div>

selflessly lost his own life whilst trying to save that of another.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">William was born around 1838 at Leicestershire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only weeks earlier he was recorded on the
1861 census; he was lodging with Charles and Elizabeth Porter in Derby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was described as single, aged 23 years old
and working as a railway porter.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Harborough the son of a labourer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aged
13 years old William was working as an errand boy, the railways must have been
a fantastic sight for a lad of his age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
London and North West Railway opened a line in between Northamptonshire and
Market Harborough on 16<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> February 1859.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>William would have been right in the middle
of all the excitement and of course some opposition to the railway being
built.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He probably thought himself a
very lucky lad when he was given a job by the railways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The actual site of the incident was Stanhope Pit which
belonged to the West Staveley Coal Company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>David Bann was aged 30 years old and employed as deputy viewer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charles Day was aged 40 years old and worked as
a horse keeper.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">David Bann was born in Worth, Cheshire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was married to Sarah Ann and they did have

left two children; a son Thomas aged 16 years old and a daughter Emma aged 11

Street in New Whittington on the 1861 census but were documented as living at
Peaches Row at the time of the incident.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Thomas Day, the son of Charles was called to the inquest and he told how
he worked alongside his father as an assistant horse keeper. He and his father
had been down the pit at 5am on the Sunday morning to look after the
horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">At the end of the inquest the jury returned a verdict of “accidental
death” but the words which followed were rather harsh “the opinion being that
the unfortunate deceased were themselves only to blame”.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">On the day of the inquest the Jury had the gruesome task
of walking to the quarry where they were to witness first-hand the body of

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">George Hawkesworth also a quarryman at Chert Quarries
told how around 11am he was alerted by John Bond that James was missing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He went to Bottom Quarry, an unworked quarry
and about 150 yards from the entrance he found the body of James Fox; he was
lying in a pool of blood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About 2 feet

married to Elizabeth who died at some time in-between the 1871 census and the
1881 census when James was described as a widower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The couple had at least the following
children; Matthew, David, Elizabeth, Jane and Adam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Was the death of his wife the reason for poor

parents gave evidence along with Gervase Margereson and John Spindley; the

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">John Spindley the coach driver had been in the employ of
the Rooth family for many years, in 1871 he was aged 21 years old and working
for them as a servant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was born in Osgodby,
Lincolnshire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the 1881 census John is
still living in Dronfield but is now married to Frances and they have a young
daughter named Edith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John must have
been devastated when he accidentally killed young Harry as his daughter Edith
would only have been a few years older than him.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">In 1891 John is still employed as a coachman so hopefully
he was able to move on with his life after the tragedy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has another daughter named Dora
Musgrove.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few years later another
daughter arrives; baby Ida.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John and

as a hotel keeper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is now 61 years
old and is running the Midland Hotel on Chesterfield Road in Dronfield.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>France his wife and his youngest daughter Ida

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Mary was in last week’s NEWS because she caused a
disturbance and was drunk and disorderly on Low Pavement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was highlighted that poor Mary was in fact
a “nymph of the pave”; a prostitute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Being on the wrong side of the law was not a new occurrence
for Mary; she had been arrested previously in September of 1859 when she was
again causing a disturbance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary was
only 14 years of age at this time and was drunk on Packers Row.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was with another girl named Millyson
Slater who was also labelled a “nymph of the pave”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Inspector Galley had been on his rounds of
the town at about 11pm that night, when he found the two girls behaving most
disorderly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He asked them to move on but
they were having none of it and refused.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At the Chesterfield Borough Police Court the next day they were
sentenced to 21 days hard labour at Derby Gaol, being committed as vagrants.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">One month later in October 1859 Mary narrowly missed
being accused of stealing a watch from a man named Joseph Hallatt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the night of the 20<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> August
Joseph had been in the Cross Keys public house when he met up with Mary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They left the public house and went to the house
of Mary Twibey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joseph was introduced to
Maria Broadhead and he left the house and went down the passage at the side of
the house with her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maria was 26 years
old and worked as a needle worker, but was described as a prostitute in the
local newspapers at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Joseph noticed later that his watch was missing and he
reported the theft to Superintendent James Radford.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They went along to Mrs Twibey’s house and
found a box upstairs which belonged to Maria, the watch was inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maria was shocked at this discovery and at
first she made for the door, then she saw Mrs Twibey and said “you bitch, you
are trying to do me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will do you
before long”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Maria was found guilty and sentenced to 8 years penal
servitude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The harsh sentence was
because she had been in gaol 16 times previously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And so even though Mary was not implicated in
this event it seems she was still very much involved.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">In October 1864 Mary was on the other side of the law,
she was the one reporting a crime against her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At the time she was living at Wheeldon Lane she alleged that another
lady also of the same address had stolen her shawl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The accused was Emma Hartley and Mary told
how she had entered her bedroom and taken the shawl valued at 3s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately for Emma she was apprehended by
P.C Jallands just a few streets away on Soresby Street with the shawl in her possession.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was gaoled for 14 days with hard labour.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">Had Mary seen the light and become a reformed
character?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly no, later that year in
December 1865 she was again in the middle of an incident and once more recorded
in the newspapers as being a prostitute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mary was apparently living at the Travellers Rest beer house in Froggatts
Yard and she was present on the day that the landlord was accused of allowing “prostitutes
and persons of bad character to remain in his house”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the night in question Mary was sat in the
tap room when Mr Stevens entered the house and was led upstairs, where he found
a bed room with three beds, in one bed was a man in the other was a known
prostitute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He reported the landlord Mr Tell
to the Police, he was fined £2.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">In July 1870 Mary found herself once more in front of the
Chesterfield Police court, this time for assaulting a lady named Sophia Warner
on 23<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> July.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary was once
again “described as a prostitute” who “lives in a house of suspicious character
in Wheeldon Lane”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary described how
Sophia had run into her house followed by the other named defendant John
Owleyan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was about to strike Sophia
but Mary put herself in the way and took the blow herself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Never the less, Mary’s reputation must have
gone against her and she was fined 10s or 7 days imprisonment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">A year on in July 1871 Mary was the victim of an assault
by two other ladies; Elizabeth Hodgkinson and Ellen Narsden had assaulted Mary
on 17<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> July.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elizabeth was
fined 20s and costs or 14 days hard labour, Ellen 3s and costs or 7 days hard
labour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">A Mary Hibbert is recorded on the 1871 census as being
head of the household of 9 Wheeldon Lane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She is described as a silk factory hand and had lodgers living with her.
What became of Mary after 1871? There are three marriages which are for a Mary
Hibbert in Chesterfield in the 1870’s so she may well have married.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or did she move on to pastures new?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

Mary Hibbert please do let us know.</span></div>
