Young family Shirland

[Dalesman]

Any information, particularly while she lived at Shirland regarding the family of My Gt. Grandmother Martha Young b.1854, who lived at Shirland, so I've been told.
Married Geo. Roworth of Clay Cross.
I believe her mother was a Martha Haslam b.1826 Chesterfield, sister of James Haslam, M.P.
Thank you!

Hi if it helps at all, and you are confident that Martha married George Roworth, then here they are in 1871:-

George Roworth 25 occ Engine Man at Colliery b Bamforth
Martha 21 b Claycross
Sarah Ellen 9 months b Claycross
Residing at High Street, Pleasant Row, Claycross
Census Ref RG10/3606/17/27

They are living with what appears to be the Father and Mother of George ie William Roworth 60 b Thornhill and Sarah 52 b Bamforth.

Marriage George Roworth to Martha Young Dec 1869 Chesterfield 7b 1018

Thank you sunflower it's certainly filling the gaps. Do you know whether the Young family appeared on any Stretton Census? I've noticed Stretton being mentioned more in connection with the Young family.
Thanks once again for your help.

Hi Bill

I've looked at the 1841 census for Stretton, but couldn't see any Youngs.

I did find this baptism which may be your Joseph

Joseph Young baptised 26.10 1823 at North Wingfield to Elizabeth Young, abode Clay cross.

There was also another illegitimate child to Elizabeth - Edwin Young 8.8. 1830 abode Clay Cross.

Elizabeth Young married Joseph Cook 28.6. 1837 at North Wingfield.

I found an Joseph Cook & Elizabeth in 1841 at Clay Lane, she was aged 37 and him 32.  They were living next door to a William Young aged 40, Farmer (maybe a connection)
