Out of interest, someone has added the following to a family tree on Ancestry which seems to fit with Hosetta...
Eliza Wimpenny (daughter of James) married William Bottomley (son of William) on 22 March 1863.
1871 Census (
Ancestry):
- Lizata Bottomley (aged 9) of Broad Lane, Upperthong
1881 Census (
Ancestry):
- Osetta Bottomley (aged 17) cotton winder of Matlock, Upperthong
Hosetta had a younger sister named Hannah Maria, which strikes me as being an unusual (although not unique) name for the area.
Perhaps worth noting that travelling circuses weren't an unfamiliar site in the mid-1800s, even in the wilds of rural Yorkshire. They often arrived in time for the local annual Feast and could have included performers from Europe and beyond. A monkey or large ape was shot near Ramsden Rocks (the area is also known by locals as "Monkey Nick") to the southwest of Holmfirth in May 1852 and the assumption in the newspapers was that it had escaped from one of the circuses.
For example, the attractions at the 1860 Honley Feast included Pablo Fanque's Circus (as immortalised in John Lennon's "Being for the Benefit of Mr Kits" lyrics), Wild's Theatre, and the famous French tightrope walker Madame Saqui (who would have been in her mid-70s!).
