Arthur G Plant 1870, any plants out there?

[mamakaz]

hi there, x
          i was just wondering if anyone on RC is researching the plant family,
and if there are any plants out there that can claim this family?

my grt granny was Annie Plant 1903-1984 she married Charles Bruce Aitken in 1923, i have their marriage cert which shows Arthur G Plant (platelayer) as her father, my mum has wonderful childhood memory's of visiting Yorkshire in 1960's, ill have to find the photo's,
i will be going back as far as i can with the Plant family, so if theres anyone
out there with Plant connections, come and join me,

1901 England Census
Arthur G Plant b 1870 31yrs, Charndon, Buckinghamshire,(head)
his wife Elizabeth b 1873 28yrs, Bedale, Yorkshire,
they lived in Darlington, St John, Durham 
Arthur was a platelayer N.E.R ? (would this be railway?)
Williamth Plant 4yrs son (says William on original page)
Lilian Plant 3yrs  daughter
John T Lamb 19yrs  Boarder, platelayer
......................................

then in 1911 census they were living in
East Cowton, North allerton, County Yorkshire, North Riding
Lillian Plant 12yrs daughter
Annie Plant 7yrs daughter (my grt granny)     
Arthur Plant 5yrs son
William is missing in 1911, he would have been 14yrs, would he have been
to young to leave behind? or maybe he died.

ok, hope to hear from someone, thanks for reading,

kaz, x

i think this could be my Arthur...

in the 1871 England Census
Arthur George Plant 1yrs b 1870/Son  born Charndon, Buckinghamshire,
dad, Joseph 30yrs b 1841 head born Charndon, Buckinghamshire
Mum, Sarah 27yrs b 1844 wife, born Twyford, Buckinghamshire
living in Twyford, Charndon, Buckinghamshire   

Joseph Plant  agricultural labourerer 
Sarah Plant 
William James Plant 7yrs/son 
Mary Anne Plant 5yrs/daughter 
Thomas Jesse Plant 4yrs/son 
Frederic Alfred Plant 2yrs/son 
Arthur George Plant 1yrs/son 
 
also i noticed on the census in the same street is...
Isaac plant 37yrs agricultural labour
Martha/wife 33yrs
Miriam?/daughter 13yrs
Diana/daughter 11yrs
John/son 9yrs agricultural labourer (at 9 yrs old?)
Samual/son 7yrs
Betsy/daughter 4yrs
Thomas/son 2yrs
Anne/daughter 2months

could be a brother of Joseph?

NER is the North Eastern Railway

Plate layers were trackmen. The term dates back to the earliest days of the railways when they were known as plateways and were built using short sections of iron bar or angle sections, rather than the rails we know today. as the photo's show, a plate layer would be responsible for all aspects of track maintenance such as replacing worn out rails or rotten sleepers, packing to ensure a level track, weeding and clearance of the drains etc.

My GGrandfather was a platelayer too

Hi Mamakaz

That's a great answer from Madpants about platelayers...........and the N.E.R.  Up here in the Highlands we have the G.N.E.R., which is the Great North Eastern Railway.

Also, one of our family, Frederick William Cook, (late 19C), of Sculcoates, nr Hull, Yorkshire, was a Railway Carm................Madpants,  is this Carman?   

And would you please be kind enough to share what you know a Carm on the railways is?   

Mamakaz, its Spring, your arboretum needs to expand, please, please, where are these plants???   

Cheers

Hi Mamakaz

What wonderful family facts you've unearthed now........!!   

Lets hope that someone, somewhere, very, very soon, connected to your Plants, will rapidly get in touch with you???     

Personally, I'm a rose fancier myself, but love the scent of Sweet Peas, also Freesias......please Plants, respond to Mamakaz, and get your Tree branching out.......

Cheers

Hi Mamakaz

Would send you a whole big bunch of roses, if I could, for all the wonderful work you've done on the Plants.......................and, to get  SO  far back, that is truly amazing!   

I'm also posting this to show you that someone is reading your thread!!!   

Where are current Plants?  I've asked all my family and they are going to try come up with some, that they may have come across down the years!!!!     

Wonder if you placed the same Topic in England, Bucks, if you might find some actual living Plants?   

Good luck to you gal.............

Cheers

Danchaslyn
