MURGATROYD - Bradford
« on: Sunday 11 January 09 12:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi Folks,

I have traced Henry MURGATROYD, born 1853, whose second wife was Margaret PICKFORD back to Bradford from Southport.  He was a stone mason, as was his father William. 

In 1851 William, born 1831 in Bradford, and family had his brother and sister in law, James and Rebecca LEAF staying with them, in Manningham.

I'm struggling to positively identify him in the 1841.  He may be in New Road Side, Bingley
(Class: HO107; Piece 1312; Book: 9; Civil Parish: Bingley; County: Yorkshire; Enumeration District: 15; Folio: 28; Page: 13; Line: 13).

Would Bingley count as Bradford then, please?
If this him, his father was Joseph, please can someone make out his occupation.


Many thanks

Mike

I think the one you found still has William with him in 1851 HO107; Piece: 2287; Folio: 287; Page: 4

Family Search has a William born to parents John and Ann about the right time. However, as you say it is difficult with all the Williams in 1841.

HO107; Piece 1293; Book: 6;  Folio: 24; Page: 7; Line: 14

has a John - stonemason, wife Ann and son William aged 10 yrs.

1851 HO107; Piece: 2308; Folio: 650; Page: 33
they are there without son William  :)

fingers crossed

Hi Heywood,

Thanks for the find.  I had tried a couple of abbreviations of William, but must have missed that one.

Yes the William I found (Piece 2287, 1841) by 1851 is at home and the family are Worsted Weavers.  Cross him off.

The father and son suspects, both being stonemasons, both live in the parish of St. Jude, Bradford in 1851, rather than elsewhere.  As this is a serious craft I'll go with this.  Plus 2 other siblings and their ages match.

For completeness for other readers here is the MURGATROYD family extracted from the 1841 and 1851

John MURGATROYD 1807
Ann  MURGATROYD 1811
William MURGATROYD 1831
Sarah MURGATROYD 1832
Eliza MURGATROYD 1835
Joseph MURGATROYD 1836
Lucy MURGATROYD 1840
Susannah MURGATROYD 1841
Rhoda MURGATROYD 1843
Samuel MURGATROYD 1845
Emma MURGATROYD 1846
Ann MURGATROYD 1848
Alfred MURGATROYD 1851

Thanks again for the help
