PICKFORD of STOKE UPON TRENT
« on: Monday 13 June 05 00:45 BST (UK) »
Greetings! 
BENJAMIN PICKFORD was born in MACCLESFIELD in 1830 and moved to MANCHESTER sometime between then and 1849 when he married ELLEN WOLSTENCROFT. on 25th April.  In December of the same year they had a baby daughter named
RACHEL PICKFORD, born Salford.   

At some stage during the next 10 years the marriage broke up (family folklore has it that Ellen ran off to Australia with another man), and Benjamin moved to Hanley in Staffordshire where he continued with his trade of Baker. 

In 1861 he is found living in Hanley, just around the corner from ELIZABETH PARKER, whom he bigamously married in 1862, under the false name of JOHN BENJAMIN PICKFORD and the couple then moved to Stoke upon Trent where they went on to have 13 children, who were:
