Armed Forces / WW 1 Cane
« on: Thursday 26 November 20 14:43 GMT (UK) »
During an annual spring clean, I came across this cane that belonged to my grandfather. He served in the Royal Engineers in WW1. Can any one tell me a little more about it. Thank you.

Many thanks for your comments Gillg - it all adds to the big picture and fits in nicely with the earlier definition - dealing in tapes, ribbons, braids etc.

Occupation Interests / Small Wares Dealer
« on: Thursday 11 June 20 16:53 BST (UK) »
Someone in my village of Codnor Park found a cast iron plate bearing the lettering: “Sarah Moreland Dealer in Small Wares”. Please see attachment.
It was found in the back garden of a cottage on Railway Row when he had problems with the drains and his builder had to dig out for new ones.
I am at the moment trying to do some research for an article in the village newsletter.
I have found reference to Sarah as a shopkeeper in 1876 and 1877 trade directories. I wonder if she only traded in those years or is she listed in any others. Is anyone able to help? Also can anyone find any reference to her as a small wares dealer or haberdasher?
Here are the relevant details:
Birth
Sarah was born in Birchwood near Alfreton. She was baptised with her twin brother John on 1st Jun 1817
her parents were Thomas & Sarah Daws her father was a collier
So far I have not been able to find her with any certainty in the 1841 and 1851 Census.
Marriage
Sarah married in 1854 - details; Thomas Moreland aged 45 was a widower whose occupation was a moulder living at Riddings. Thomas’s father was also called Thomas Moreland and he was a labourer.
Sarah Dawes was aged 37 years and was a spinster living at Newlands Farm, Greenhill Lane. No occupation is given for Sarah. Her father was Thomas Dawes, a labourer.
The witnesses were John Dawes & Hannah ?
1861 Census
Sarah is living at 5, Railway Row in Codnor Park with her husband, their two children and a visitor. Details:
Thomas Morland; aged 51; husband; occupation Pipe Moulder; Born in Alfreton
Sarah Morland; aged; 44; wife
Jane Morland; aged 5; daughter; Born in Riddings
John Morland; aged; 1 Son; Born in Codnor Park
Elizabeth Morland; aged 9; visitor born in Alfreton
Sarah’s husband Thomas dies in 1861 and is buried in Ironville on October 16th 1861 in Ironville
1871 Census
Sarah is living at 5, Railway Row with her daughter Jane and two lodgers John Wrath & George Wilkinson
Trade directories 1876 & 1877
Sarah is listed as a shopkeeper living at 5. Railway Row - This would fit in with the metal Plate “SARAH MORELAND DEALER IN SMALL WARES” - Probably a haberdasher dealing in tapes, ribbons, braids etc. Is this assumption correct?
1881 Census
Sarah aged 65 is still living at 5, Railway Row with her son in law Henry Cartledge aged 31 born in Long Watton and a labourer; Her daughter Jane Cartledge aged 26 and Jane’s son John Thomas Cartledge aged 2 who was born in Codnor Park (probably at 5, Railway Row). N.B. no occupation is given for Sarah in any census.

Many thanks for trying Milliepede.
When she got married in 1854 she gave her address as "Newlands Farm" - Perhaps he got missed off?
Marriage
Thomas Moreland aged 45 was a widower whose occupation was a moulder living at Riddings. Thomas’s father was also called Thomas Moreland and he was a labourer.
Sarah Dawes was aged 37 years and was a spinster living at Newlands Farm, Greenhill Lane. No occupation is given for Sarah. Her father was Thomas Dawes, a labourer. (Probably a Farm Labourer).

Many thanks for that Tickettyboo I was thinking along those line too. However, not sure if it will help me to locate Sarah Moreland in 1841 or 1851 Census or find her in trade directories outside 1976 & 1977.

It is perhaps time to bring everything together. I have now put together a Timeline for Sarah. There are couple of things I would like to find out. First it would be nice to find her in the 1841 & 1851 Census if this is possible. Also I have found her listed in 1876 and 1877 trade directories listed as a "shopkeeper" living at 5, Railway Row, Codnor Park. Is she listed in any other trade directories out side these two years and any evidence that she is a "dealer in smallwares" as detailed on the newly discovered metal plate or haberdasher or what she traded in. Any help would be really appreciated.
Here is Sarah's Timeline so far:

Many thanks Milliepede - That 1817 Baptism seems a likely clue. It fits in with the marriage of John that you suggest. I attach the "Hannah" signature to see if you can decipher it.
