Samuel HALLAM b abt 1810 ?Stockport s/o John & Mary

[Adnepos_Iacobi]

This Samuel HALLAM is proving elusive and I request helpful suggestions

He is mentioned in his father's will (1835) as the eldest child, inheriting the waste cotton spinning (candlewick) equipment. And sure enough in an 1845 Trade Directory he is there: candlewick manufacturer Ridgeway La Mill, House Leigh St [Stockport].

The next eldest child, Ephraim was born in 1812, despite the nonconformist background, christened at Stockport St Mary.

No sign of the marriage of the parents nor of Samuel's christening. Not found a candidate death for Samuel. And most irritatingly, not found him in the 1841 census (tried Hallam, Allum and the rest!).

Helpful suggestions please!

Sam the painter is in Worsley in 1851, born Bolton. Unfortunately we can rule him out from the birth in Bolton.

Yes, Ephraim is the centre of my interest and this Mary was his (and Samuel's, Sarah's Phoebe's, William's [x3], Mary Anne's John's and Elizabeth's) mother.

I am working on Samuel to get a better idea when parents John HALLAM (1786-1835, parents Benjamin and Mary) and Mary were married.

Mother Mary is in Canal Street in 1841, with daughters Phoebe and Elizabeth?

From the 1851 census, Mary was born abt 1789 at Gill Bent (southern part of Cheadle Hulme). She died 30 Apr 1867, buried at Stockport Borough Cemetery, as are many of the family. I would like to know her maiden name and her marriage details. That is why I am chasing up son Samuel.

Phoebe married Samuel TAYLOR. Elizabeth married David FOGG...

John also gets a mention in the 1825 Stockport Directory (but not earlier trade directories eg The Commercial Directory 1814-15, that I've searched), cotton spinner at Carr Mill. His last entry is in Pigot 1834; Cotton waste spinner Hope's carr.

Samuel gets a mention in the 1845 Stockport Directory (read above) but not in the 1850 Bagshaw -his brother Ephraim is listed here: cotton spinner and candlewick manufacturer, Higher Hillgate.

I've found some interesting material on the [Hope's] Carr Mills but it's not contributed to my quest.
