Researching: DAKIN of Taddington

[Coventry]

I'm researching George Dakin who was born in 1792 in Taddington, Derbyshire (married Rachael Grimshaw in Manchester in 1815 and died in Buxton in 1863).

I've been trying to link him to other Dakins in Taddington but don't seem to have had much luck.

He was possibly the son of George Dakin (1767-1834) but cannot confirm this to be the case.

Would be great to hear from anyone else researching the Dakin family from the area.

Thanks.

I'm not researching this family, but I thought I would have a look for you.

You may already know this, but the George Deakin who died in Buxton in 1863 had a gravestone, which states that he was the son of George Deakin (1771-1852):

It looks like this is their first child:

Robert, son of George & Rachael Dakin of King Street, father's occupation: spinner (which aligns with George's occupation on his marriage record). Robert was baptised in Stockport, Cheshire in 1816.

Then they had:
Alice (1819), baptised in Stockport, family listed as living in Heaton Norris.
John (1821), baptised in Heaton Norris.
Harriot (1824) in Halifax, Yorkshire, family listed as living in Skircoat.
Hannah (1828), baptised in a Wesleyan Methodist chapel, family listed as living in Skircoat.
Bridget (1831), also baptised in a Wesleyan Methodist chapel, but the family is now back in Heaton Norris.
Samuel (1834), this time George is described as 'dresser' [cotton dresser].

Wonder if any of these names may be clues?

I can see a baptism of a George Dakin, son of George & Sarah Dakin, in Taddington in 1796. Having said that, there is also a burial of a George Dakin, born in 1796, in Taddington in 1817...

There is a George Dakin, son of Robert, born in 1771 in Taddington, could this be the father?

An interesting article on the George Deakin who died in 1852:

Mary Ann Deakin was born in Taddington to a George & Bridget Deakin in 1790. Maybe these are George Jr.'s parents?

Thank you! I didn’t know about the gravestones photos website!

Thank you. I’ve managed to research coming forwards and have  quite a lot of info about the Deakin family from George & Rachael onwards which I’ve published on the web.

There were quite a few Dakins in Taddington and I was finding it difficult to sort them out. I’ll pursue the George Dakin find.

Thanks 😊
