Thanks Monica!
Can't speculate why he moved around so much, though.

Thanks, Linda.
Sorry, my post is almost a year old, and fortunately, we made some progress. Sam Spencer turned out to come from Cleckheaton, not Leeds.
We actually got an article in one of the local papers in Bradford, as he was very keen to try to find living relatives. Unfortunately, we drew a blank.
Thanks anyway, for your help.

Thanks Peter,
China Brook Cottage, hey? Interesting. 1861 has him at Cheer Brook Cottage - I would guess possibly the same place. Couldn't find it, though. China Brook may give me more to go on.
Thanks again

Cheshire / Sampson Cartwright 1851 Census
« on: Tuesday 27 September 05 16:19 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I'm trying to trace the whereabouts of Sampson Cartwright and his wife Emma in 1851.
He appears in the 1841 census in High Street, Nantwich, aged 55, working as a confectioner.
By 1861, he has retired and is living on Crewe Road, Willaston, agedv 76. His wife Emma was then 78.
Can anybody help me trace him in 1851???
Thankyou
Neil

Staffordshire / Sampson Cartwright born Stafford

Hello,
Can anybody help?
I have traced back to a Sampson Catwright, christened at St Mary's, Stafford, 26.11.1784, son of Sampson Cartwright and Sarah.
By 1841, he was working as a confectioner in Nantwich, Cheshire.
Can anybody shed any light elsewhere? Other children of Sampson and Sarah? Sarah's maiden name? Any info on Sampson between 1784 and 1841? Even Sampson and Sarah's parents.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Thanks
Neil Cartwright

Cheshire / mother's maiden name as child's middle name
« on: Saturday 30 July 05 17:42 BST (UK) »
Sorry, this is a bit of a general question:
Was it common practice in the 1850s to give a child their mother's maiden name as a middle name? I have 3 instances in my family - John Dean Cartwright and Sampson Cartwright Worsey in 1853, and William Jervis Cartwright in 1857.
Does anybody else have anything like that? Was it fashionable, or in some way, perhaps, a response to the cholera epidemic in Nantwich in the late 1840s?
It definitely seems to be a middle name and not a 'double-barrelling'.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Neil
