William INCKLE - the farmer

[celia]

We need a farming expert, methinks!

That counts me out but i have been trawling through the directories over an hour,as is usual though at week ends.It is dead slow & stop,so i gave up.The 1885/89/68 Have William the same as the census. Farmer Fiskerton Lincoln,if he was a land/farm owner i was hoping he would be in the Gentry list as a farmer Esq.The posh list to me but he isn't There is no mention of any farms even though there a hundreds of farmers.I think myself he may have been the farm manager and lived there,but didn't own it.

Hi Celia, and thank you so much for looking into the trade directories for me, very kind.

So, it's looking like William became a farmer between 1871 and 1881, and quite probably rented the land rather than owned it.

Looking at an 1891 map of Fiskerton on www.old-maps.co.uk I can see a farm house right next to Five Mile House. Maybe this was it? I'll have a check on a modern map and see what is there now, if anything.

Filiem,
well done! I tried that but couldn't see it - obviously looking in wrong place.

Five Mile House is south-east of the main village, and very slightly east of that is a building that could very well be a farm house 

Had a look on Google Earth and the farmhouse has now been demolished unfortunately, although you can still make out where it used to be.

 I think Five Mile House is still there, as far as I can make out anyway.

What is quite interesting is that all the field boundaries are exactly the same as they were over 100 years ago.

Going back to your first post Filiem  .. have you you found William in 1911 .. ?

The only reason I ask, if he died in 1915, aged 77 .. he obviously wouldn't have been a young man at the time of the census .. I wondered if he was still living on the farm or whether one of his sons might have taken it over .. ?

Joseph looks the most likely contender according to the returns Heywood posted ??

Just checked on the 1911 search, it appears William and Sarah were possibly together, but when Joseph's name was added there weren't any results .. ?

Did you have the marriage?

Marriage at Fiskerton 1 Sept 1859
William HINKLE (son of Joseph) to Ellen PEACOCK (dau of Henry)

From "Lincoln Rural spreadsheet" here http://s10.freefronthost.com/mi/index.html

Joseph Inckle is confusing me somewhat...his age must be wrong in the 1871 census?

He is shown as 7 in 1871

But 22 in 1891 and 31 in 1901 (as a farm labourer still).

I am struggling to find his birth however 

Probable death:

Mar 1931

Inckle    Joseph    62    Lincoln    7a   653


Thank you Geoff for that marriage information, I had it from from freeBMD only, that is brilliant, cheers!

Maybe got nothing to do with anything 

but on Genes Reunited , a bloke called David,
has a William Inckle , born Fiskerton,  1839.

  so the name was a Fiskerton even then.

Eilleen.
p.s He's got quite a few Inckle at Fiskerton.
