In 1923 my 2xG Aunt Kathleen Ann Watson died age 72 at Weedon Bec Northants. She was the daughter of Noah Watson & Mary Ann Clark and had been married twice -- first to Thomas Tarry with whom she had one daughter and later to Frederick Wells Cotman with whom she had two sons and a daughter.

On 31 May
Arthur Whittaker my husband’s father was born at 25 York Road, Denton, Lancashire in 1906.  He died in 1963 a few weeks after his 57th birthday from Congestive Heart Failure and Coronary Thrombosis.  All his ancestors and his siblings were hatters in Denton, as was his first wife, who died aged 29.  However, he bucked the family trend by becoming firstly a grocer’s assistant, then with his 2nd wife (my husband’s mother) a greengrocer, then he ran a local post office, finally after the war he set up in business as a builder with his friend  who was a carpenter and joiner.

Herbert Hanley my 1st cousin twice removed was born in Manchester in 1880

Gertrude Mary Singline my 2nd cousin twice removed was born in Falmouth, Tasmania in 1891

Ann Day (nee Isaac) my 4 x g.grandmother was baptised at St Peter and St Paul Church, Osbournby, Lincolnshire in 1747

Agnes Milnes my 8 x g.g.aunt was baptised at Dewsbury, Yorkshire in 1592.  She was the first of 9 children of my 9 x g.grandparents’ marriage, but I cannot find her mother’s maiden name as mother’s names are not shown on baptismal records that early – didn’t mothers have anything to do with the birth in those days?  ::)  There is a death record for her mother but, of course, it doesn't give her maiden name.

Lizziew,
Hi, I was interested in the things you've wrote below; my grandad was called Kenneth Martindale he was born in Gleaston and told me his whole family are from there.

Jane Martindale (nee Goad), my 2nd cousin 5 times removed (a very distant ancestor) was born in Gleaston, Lancashire in 1792.  Gleaston only has a population of 400 nowadays, although when Jane was born, there was a working mill (it’s still in working order) and at least 5 farms which probably employed many of the local men and women, so it’s possible it was a larger community in the late 1700s/1800s.

Jane Benson (nee Martindale) my 3rd cousin 4 times removed and daughter of Jane Goad above was baptised in Ulverston, Dalton in Furness, Lancashire in 1824.  She married my 2 x g.g.uncle Thomas Benson in 1845, so I’m related to her on 2 different trees.

Hi Lottie - Welcome to Rootschat. 

All I know is that Jane Benson (nee Martindale)'s father was called Joseph Martindale, his wife's maiden name was Jane Goad.  Joseph was born in Urswick in Furness in 1789 but his wife Jane Goad was born in Gleaston on 3 May 1792.  Perhaps Joseph Martindale was the first Martindale in Gleaston.  Joseph isn't really an ancestor, he was the husband of my 2nd cousin 5 times removed, so even my ancestor Jane Goad is a very, very distant ancestor.  I've traced the Goad's back to 1729 in Gleaston, but that's it.
