COMPLETED ... SALT family - Alton/Goldenhill/Church Lawton ... COMPLETED

[Tapestry]

Matthew SALT was born circa 1793 in Alton Staffordshire. He married a Jane (surname unknown) born circa 1796 in either Church Lawton or Goldenhill, Staffordshire. They had 6 children and were all living in Macclesfield by 1841.  The 1851 Census states that Jane was born in Church Lawton, whereas the 1861 Census has her born in Goldenhill.  I have a copy of Jane's Will - she died on 11 Nov 1862.  I'm looking for details about Jane (especially maiden name) and the family's early years. Thanks, ClaireB

Could you post some more information please.

Have you found their marriage  I cannot see it on the IGI.

What were the children names  have you found any of their baptisms 

[Tapestry]

Matthew SALT married Jane ?, date unknown and had 6 children and according to 1851 census:
father Matthew (born 1793, Alton, Staffordshire)
mother Jane (born 1794, Lawton, Cheshire)
son John (born c 1816, Lane End, Staffordshire);
son Charles (born c 1819, Lane End, Staffordshire;);
daughter Sarah (born c 1821, Macclesfield, Cheshire);
son James (born c 1823, Lane End, Staffordshire);
daughter Elizabeth (born c 1826, Sutton, Cheshire);
daughter Rosanna (born 1829, Macclesfield, Cheshire).

It would appear that none of the sons married.
Daughter Sarah married Joseph HURST about 1843.
Daughter Elizabeth married William TATTON about 1848.
Daughter Rosanna first married George WARD in 1855. He died in 1869 so she married the widower Thomas Fytton/Fitton in 1872.  Rosanna lived and worked in Macclesfield as a Provisions Dealer/Grocer Shopkeeper in Fountain St, until her death aged 80/81 in 1909.

Many thanks in anticipation, Claire

I have been trying to find the batisms of the children, I assume you got the dates from the 41 and 51 census's.

According to the 1851 Roseanna was born in Macclesfield.

There is a baptism of a Rose Hannah ch. 30.5.1830 St. Michael's, Macclesfield on the IGI Pilot Search which gives the parents as Matthew Salt and Mary,    so I am wondering if either Mary was Mary Jane or he was widowed before the 41 census  and remarried Jane by 51, unfortunately we cannot tell his  status from the 1841

Searching plus or minus 10 years all counties :-

The IGI has an extracted marriage of a Matthew Salt to a Mary Handley 11.9.1817 St Michael's Stone, Stafford

But in 1841 census in Macclesfield there is no mention of Jane, only Matthew and several children.   There is a marriage of Matthew Salt in Macclesfield Registration District September quarter 1844, page 99.  Jane Wych and Jane Ward appear on the same page.

But in 1841 census in Macclesfield there is no mention of Jane,

Exactly , thats why I wondered if she may have been Mary Jane or he was widowed by that time as no relationships or status  are given.

From the FamilySearch site https://www.familysearch.org/

Matthew SALT (son of Thomas SALT) married Jane WARD (daughter of Benjamin HANCOCK) at St James, Gawsworth on 5 August 1844.  "Age 52 y"

As well as the baptism Patrish found for Rose Hannah, there are baptisms in Macclesfield  for a Sarah (1821) an Elizabeth (1825), and a Mary Anne (1827), daughters of Matthew SALT and Mary.

A Mary SALT b.1804 was buried at St Albans, Macclesfield on 14 May 1833.
