Here's a <a href="http://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/family-history-may-help-mental-agility-study-reveals">bit of research</a> from Austria, recently published, which shows us that thinking about our ancestors can improve our own mental agility.<br />
<br />
After a heavy session trying to dig material out of archives, I don't normally notice this effect! But I do know what they mean. Genealogy is often suggested as a form of therapy on the continent.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love that this <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejsp.778/abstract">research paper</a> quotes Plutarch:<br />
<blockquote> It is certainly desirable to be well descended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors. (Plutarch 46–120 AD) <br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: purple; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Helping history take shape</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">For thousands of genealogists and amateur family historians, the census is helping to re-trace family connections through the ages. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The personal information shared at every census is kept confidential for 100 years. After that, it’s there for the public to explore and find out more about the life and times of their ancestors.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Have you ever ‘lost’ a member of the family, only to rediscover the connection (and perhaps other relatives now living) as you retrace your steps through family history? How thrilling it is to find a long lost name turn up on an old census return. And to see how the famous and infamous completed their census returns long ago. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The 2011 Census is using its online channels to bring professional and family historians together: through the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/2011-Census-Family-History/128750273829714">2011 Census Family History Facebook group</a> and a dedicated family history section on the <a href="http://www.census.gov.uk/">census website</a>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Taking part on 27 March 2011 is your chance to help future generations discover their past. By completing your census questionnaire you leave your mark on history. And maybe that’s something your friends and colleagues hadn’t thought about. So we hope you’ll encourage them to do their bit too.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">OK. So what do you need to do? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Simply complete your census questionnaire. Every household will get one. All you need to do is answer a few questions about yourself and the people who share your household with you on census day. Everything you tell the census is in strictest confidence and will only be used to produce statistics. ONS will not share your personal information with anyone else.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">You can complete your questionnaire online – or by post. But you must do it and get your questionnaire in as soon as possible after census day. (Of course you can also do both of those! Fill in the form online to satisfy the legal requirement, and then also fill out the paper form, and securely store it with your other family history documents, to give descendants a glimpse into their history.)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Present day census population statistics are mainly used to identify and understand the variety of needs for public services. They help local authorities, healthcare organisations and other census users to plan services around the needs of local people. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">So the census needs everyone to take part in helping tomorrow take shape – and by doing that we help to shape history too. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt;"><br />

It may help you a great deal if you are researching your own family. Lost Cousins is the name - why not <a href="http://www.lostcousins.com/">go & have a look</a>? <br />
<br />
It works by asking you to enter details of the census pages (e.g. the 1881 census of England & Wales) on which your ancestor appears. Anyone who matches with you will be brought to your attention, so you can share research.<br />
<br />
Currently LostCousins can only help people who had relatives (not necessarily direct ancestors) living in the US, Britain or Canada in 1880-81, or in England & Wales in 1841.<br />
Also, latest additions are the 1911 census of Ireland, and of England. <br />
<br />
View the excellent free newsletter <a href="http://lostcousins.com/newsletters/latest.htm">here</a>.<br />
It is free to join <a href="http://www.lostcousins.com/">Lost Cousins</a>, and seems to be a very good idea.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another way of matching up with other researchers is <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/aclk?sa=l&ai=CeYn_ubFuS-bdFY7Y0QT_tZgSj6Kld9uA4_wNoNroqQwIABABILZUUPu2x7T-_____wFgu6aqg9AKoAHH4NL-A8gBAakCZrjzmBdUuj6qBBlP0MayUHWK8D06xNhSVH_lm45ixfuAshJr&ggladgrp=5264533651944605009&gglcreat=3601253977266030578&sig=AGiWqtwsVMowX3II_tAWB7nF2_Rc7HjZVA&q=http://tsw0.com/936/127547">Genes Reunited</a> (small fee), and an interesting one which matches up folk looking at the same geographical area is <a href="http://www.ancestralatlas.com/">Ancestral Atlas</a>.

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>This post is being completely rejigged, to make it easier to read - talk to me if you can't find anything </i></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>about which </i></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>you'd like to know. Sorry if it's a bit confusing at first. Have a look at the Hallworth family tree; just scroll right down to the bottom of the website.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>If you are searching for any of your ancestors born in the Cheshire / Lancashire area, you need look no further as I know of no link (yet!) to that large branch of Hallworths.</i></span><br />
<br />
The very beginning of research into this branch of the family was to hunt out records on Grandad Harry Hallworth, who was born in the year 1900. This means that he should appear as a baby in the National Census returns of the year 1901, which were the latest then available. Family history had it that he was born in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockburn">Sockburn </a>area, and sure enough he was found in the entry for that town, in 1901.<br />
<br />
The details on that census return showed me that his father was born in Bedfordshire, so next I stepped back in time to the earlier census of the Bedfordshire area.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;"><i></i></span><br />
<br />
I'm going to give you all the details I've dug up on the Hallworth family from the Census Returns, but this time I've set them out in the right order to make it easy to follow. However, of course, genealogy must always start from what you know for sure & then working <b>backwards </b>in time!<br />
<br />
<br />
So first, here's a little background on Grandad Hallworth.<br />
<br />
<b>William Henry (Harry) Hallworth</b><br />
He was born in Dinsdale (Yorks/Durham border) on the 26th of February 1900, which was just before the death of <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/system/topicRoot/The_death_of_Queen_Victoria/">Queen Victoria</a>. He lived in the Darlington area (Co. Durham, England) all his life apart from his years of military service. He lived to the grand old age of 94 (it was always easy to remember his age!!) He managed to be remarkably independent into his old age. He was survived by his 2 children and 4 grandsons.<br />
<br />
Here we see a photograph of Harry as a young man, in 1921, aged 21. It is from an image of the MTHC in Lahore (military transport/training Hockey Club??). The full image can be seen below that {click on any images to enlargen them}.<br />

A great weaver of tales and always very well-turned out.<br />
His wife was Violet Annie Hallworth, nee Cox. Violet was born in 1902 and worked in service, and then at a school. She died (following a stroke) in 1986, leaving Harry a widower for many years. They had married in the year 1929, and together they had two children.<br />
You can read more about the COX family by following <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/10/cox-family-history.html" id="v-9a" title="this link">this link</a>.<br />
<br />
We knew that Harry's parents were named Charles & Kate Hallworth, and that they came from Bedfordshire & London respectively.<br />
<br />
Here now is a photograph of Harry Hallworth in his later years (1987).<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZvxIduJWk6XgdvEskv9i2zkw-Zf-ThEZPE5DzPIpagzuvM5np-HYyAPqO5Yjb4vPt-XyOYywlQRr99Nb1_RgE48iaof3SByFZJmTVY1ZJ0QbrFH4fOy3Kzs9TPEjZJ2c-RnosDnuDFzW5/s1600-h/Harry+Hallworth+1987.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="tuh-" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZvxIduJWk6XgdvEskv9i2zkw-Zf-ThEZPE5DzPIpagzuvM5np-HYyAPqO5Yjb4vPt-XyOYywlQRr99Nb1_RgE48iaof3SByFZJmTVY1ZJ0QbrFH4fOy3Kzs9TPEjZJ2c-RnosDnuDFzW5/s200/Harry+Hallworth+1987.jpg" style="height: 172px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
So - I wanted to find out as much as I can about the Hallworth family and their origins. To make a start, I used the details available in the National Census (from 1841 to 1911) and the registration details available online. After that I filled in a few extra details from various archives - newspapers, military records, prison records, photographic & mapping archives, and so on. (See the guide page at the top of this site for some useful links.) <br />
Please note the Bedfordshire & Luton Archives and <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/SearchOurCatalogues.aspx" id="k4eb" title="Records Service">Records Service</a> have been a treasure trove in many areas of the Hallworth family - I have tried to include a useful reference number each time, and I add the acronym BLARS.<br />
<br />
I also relied heavily on the research of others! I've been very lucky to meet (online) with several Hallworth cousins / fellow genealogists and they have been very generous with their interesting stories. My grateful Thanks go out to them; particularly Aunt Sheila, Keith, Peter, Clive, Evelyn, Charlotte, Barbara, Susan, Patti, and all involved at Sockburn Hall.<br />
<br />
The results can be viewed in the following posts, so here's a roughly chronological index:<br />

e.g. Hallworth, Halworth, Hallsworth, Haldsworth, Holworth, Holwith, Aldworth, Allworth etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, the names were not really spelled 'incorrectly', but rather, spelling in those times was much more flexible & phonetic.<br />
Spellings of names became more settled from the date 1837 when BMD registration began, though it was still rare for folks to write their own names. <br />
<a name='more'></a>They would tell the registrar/clergy their details & they spelled the names as they saw fit. At this time it was common for those writing the names to 'correct' the pronunciation of the locals - perhaps adding in a dropped 'Haitch'!<br />
<br />
As Peter has discovered, "Going back to The Saxon Chronicles (researched by monks of the 10<span style="font-size: xx-small;">th</span> century) and other documents such as the Doomsday book, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragman_Roll">Ragman rolls</a> 1291 - 1296 and many others, our name seems to appear as: Aldworth, Aldworthy, Allworth, Allworthy, Alesworth, Alworth, Alworthy, <b>Alsworth </b>and the changes occur even between father and son.<br />
<br />
The first record of Hallworth can be found in Berkshire and this saxon family of great antiquity held the lands and parish of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldworth">Aldworth</a>. This place still exists but I have not visited. I am convinced as our surname is not a common one it can be traced back to this information."<br />
<br />
More detail <a href="http://angloswiss.net/documents/146.html">here </a>on the theory that the name locates the family origins in either Aldworth or in Holdworth in Yorkshire.<br />
<br />
***<br />
A very olde recorde from the Bedford Archives - dated November 1509:<br />
<blockquote>"Power of Attorney from the above-name Henry Grey to George <b>Alworth</b>, gent. and John Samwel to take seisin of manors of Burbage and Blunham. Signed 'Henry Grey'. Red seal."</blockquote>"seisin" - sorry, don't know what that was!<br />
Burbage is in Midlands near Hinckley, but Blunham is just East of Bedford.<br />

<b>Other Hallworths in the North-West</b><br />
While we are talking about the Hallworth name, it is worth pointing out that there are <b>many</b> Hallworth families in the Lancashire to Cheshire region...but that I <i>haven't heard of any family connections</i> with them at all. Not at all sure if a Bedfordshire Hallworth settled in the North West or if it was the other way round! My guess would be that the name sprung up independantly in both regions. No doubt we would have to go much further back than 1800 to find out!<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Interesting to read this bit of history: in Maulden <b>1796:</b> Two hundred villagers rioted against partial allotment and enclosure of Maulden Moor for peat and turf cutting. A troop of cavalry from Ampthill was called in to quell the riot. <i>{source: <a href="http://www.galaxy.bedfordshire.gov.uk/webingres/bedfordshire/vlib/0.digitised_resources/maulden_timeline.htm" id="xvkm" title="Bedfordshire libraries">BLARS</a>}</i></blockquote><br />
<br />
<b>Parents of Philip & Charles... & Jonathan Hallworth?</b><br />
The parents of Philip & Charles were Thomas Hallworth and his second wife Elizabeth. <i>{Recorded as Hallsworth, Thanks Susan}</i> Thomas was a dairyman, who lived in Pulloxhill from 1749-1812. Susan found out about Thomas when reading the will of his younger brother, James (also a dairyman, in Pulloxhill, married to Margaret Hyde. <i>More on Uncle James another time?</i>)<br />
<br />
I haven't found anything yet about their parents, the earlier generation. A possible hit on IGI for Thomas' christening? Thomas Aldsworth, Watford, Herts (16 Mar 1746), parents were Thomas & Hannah Aldsworth. <br />
<br />
Patti, though has done a better job. She tells me that she has found a baptism record (on IGI) for a Thomas Hallworth in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockliffe" id="pksb" title="Hockliffe">Hockliffe</a>, Beds, in July 1723. No record, though of the baptism of his own sons Thomas & James, to prove the names of the boy's parents.<br />
<br />
Thomas Senior was the son of Anthony & Eleanor ELSWORTH. Possibly the Anthony Ellsworth who was baptised 16 Jul 1704 at Skirethornes, near Grassington, <b>Yorkshire</b>; son of James Ellsworth and Elizabeth Scott?<br />

<b>Thomas Hallworth 1749-1812</b><br />
Thomas, then, had two wives. First was Sarah who had two sets of twins, as well as some singleton babies. She died in around 1783-4, perhaps with the birth of her final child William in 1783. We know, by the by, that the older set of twins died as infants, and the younger set of twins girls were brought up by their Aunt & Uncle <i>{source - PR & the Aunt's will, through Susan}</i>.<br />
<br />
His second wife was Elizabeth, whom Thomas married in 1784/5? She was mother to Philip & Charles. Could they also have had a third child, Jonathan, who later married Mary, settled in St Albans and had a son Jonathan in 1821? <i>{I haven't found a marriage record yet for Jonathan & Mary - but I have seen them in the Census returns, now that I've been shown where to look!}</i><br />
<br />
Susan tells me that Thomas' last child, Jonathan was born in 1790, in Hertfordshire. Wonder why he was born there? We know that his parents had returned to Pulloxhill by the time of their death.<br />
What drew them to settle there? Actually, it's not that far away - only around 20 miles, further down the M1.<br />
<br />
Jonathan & Mary had 10 children in St Albans/Hemel Hempstead. The son Jonathan married Maria Sharp <i>{source IGI}</i> who was from Maulden, in the year 1842. They had two sons George & Phillip, and a daughter Sarah (all born in Maulden 1842-1858). He became the Dog & Badger publican.<br />
<br />
Thomas Hallworth (dairyman) was buried on 2nd April 1812 at Pulloxhill St James the Apostle Church. His wife Elizabeth died (aged 77) in 1822, and she was buried in the same churchyard on Christmas Eve.<br />
Their sons Charles, Philip and Jonathan were also buried in Pulloxhill churchyard.<br />
<br />
The first child of Charles Hallworth was born in April 1812 (baptised in Maulden, 19/4/1812), just after his Grandfather's death - so it's no surprise to learn he was given the name Thomas.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18443751717172888793noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669189542232454406.post-31676234878144867582009-01-25T10:00:00.046+00:002010-11-13T22:52:36.054+00:00Charles Hallworth: 1785-1853<b>Charles Hallworth SENIOR</b> was born in <b>1785 </b>in Pulloxhill, and you can read more about his parents & half-siblings <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/hallworth-name-origins.html">here</a>.

<br />
<br />
Thanks very much to the delightfully curious Charlotte for getting me started with this family! She found the first record that I couldn't find (because I was looking only for folk with the "correct" spelling, rather than an Alsworth as our Philip is entered).<br />
<br />
The parish records quoted below are held on the IGI FamilySearch database. I've typed the names <i>as they occur</i> in the parish records' transcriptions. (Interesting info on Maulden's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maulden">Wiki page</a> about the church, St. Mary's.)<br />
In <b>1810</b>, on 17th December, in Maulden, Maria Pennyfather married Chas Halworth.<br />
<br />
Their first child, Thomas Halworth was baptised on the 19th of April <b>1812</b>, in Maulden. Our Philip Alsworth was next (8th May 1814), followed by Samuel Hallworth (baptised Jan 1816, died Feb 1816), Martha Hallsworth (Dec 1816 - a busy year), George Halworth (March 1819), Hannah Maria Hallworth (1821), Maria Taylor Hallworth (1823), Charles Hallworth (1825), Isaac Haleworth (1831).<br />

<b>Pennyfathers - a sweet name!</b><br />
Maria Pennyfather was baptised in Maulden in 1784; born to parents Isaac Pennyfather & Martha Taylor, who married in Maulden in 1779. Maria died (aged ~85) in October 1871, and was buried at Pulloxhill St James church.<br />
<br />
Some interesting material on Bedfordshire Archive (newer catalogue) for Pennyfather:<br />
<ul><li>William Breed. St. Luke Middx. to Maulden. Wm. Breed. In <b>1809</b>, then unmarried and childless, hired as a yearly servant by Mr Pennefather of Maulden <span class="search_result_highlight">Mill</span> at 3½gns. Served 1yr, Michelmas to Michelmas. (from BLARS <b>PUAV 41/32</b>; <i>23 Apr 1866</i>) </li>

<li>Certainly an old Maulden family - 1709 record of "Wm Pennyfather apprentice to Robt Quait, Maulden, Tailor." Also some shoemaker Pennyfathers are mentioned.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.rabancourt.co.uk/abacus/p1784h.html" id="si44" title="Bedfordshire Pollbook">Bedfordshire Pollbook</a>, dated 1784, shows us that Isaac Pennyfather was a voter living in Maulden.</li>
</ul><br />
Patti has the name recorded as <b>Pennyfeather</b>, and has found baptism records for the Pennyfeather male line going right back to John Pennyfeather born ~ 1558. The generations were found living in Millbrook, Maulden, then Clophill and finally Isaac Pennyfeather who was born in Flitton (in 1753, but he moved to run the Maulden Mill by 1815). <i>Thanks for sharing!</i><br />
<br />
In an 1822 License document for the nearby Maulden pub (<a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/licensing-victualler-of-pubs-in-maulden.html">Dog & Badger</a>), run by Charles' brother Philip Hallworth, we can see that our Charles Hallworth was already a Miller of Maulden, and was confident enough in his finances to put up the surety of £30 for his brother's license. <i>{Note - I am making an assumption here, I can't be sure it's this Charles. It could be another relative.}</i><br />
<br />
<b>The 1841 Census</b><br />
In the <b>1841</b> census of Maulden we see a Miller, Charles Hallworth (55) living at Mill Lane. His wife is Maria, and also in the house are Martha (20), George (20), Hannah (20), Mary (20), Charles (15) and Isaac (9). All of the household was born in Bedfordshire. {N.B. the ages aren't accurate as they were rounded to the nearest 5 in the 1841 census.}<br />
<br />
His neighbour is a 25-year-old Miller, Thomas Hallworth and his wife Hannah - Charles' oldest son.<br />
His other son Philip has already moved out by the year 1841 (see his page: <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/philip-hallworth-1814-1880.html">here</a>).<br />
<br />
This Charles & Maria, then, are the parents of our Philip Hallworth (living in Toddington). I can be more certain of the link now that I have searched for a person in the area named Charles Alsworth who has a similar story - and found none. So that reassures me that Charles' name was simply recorded 'incorrectly' again {more on the name <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/hallworth-name-origins.html">here</a>}.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What happens next to Charles & Maria?</b><br />
In the <b>1851</b> census, we find Charles Hallworth (66, born Pulloxhill) at Mill House, Maulden. He is described as a Miller and farmer of 40 acres (employing 3 men). His wife is Marria, aged 64 in 1851 was born in Maulden. Their sons George & Isaac remain in the household (Farm labourer and Miller).<br />
Next to them (in Mill Lane) is still Thomas Hallworth, farmer of 30 acres.<br />
<br />
So then - we could work out that Charles was born in around 1785, which means he would've been around 29 when his son Phillip was born. His wife Maria was born in 1787.<br />
I had the death of a Charles Hallworth in the Ampthill area in either 1853 or 1862. In the 1861 census for Maulden I find Maria is a Retired Miller's widow, so now we can be sure - he was the man who died in 1853.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Barbara for the tips and help here -<br />
A will was made for Charles Senior in 1853 and proved on July 13th 1854 on the oaths of Thomas Hallworth and Charles Hallworth. The estate's value was under £600, to be shared amongst his children <i>after his wife's death</i>. <br />
According to the calculator on <a href="http://www.measuringworth.com/ppoweruk/?redirurl=calculators/ppoweruk/" target="_blank">this page</a>, then - it was worth about £41,500 in today's money. The estate seems to have caused some problems in the family - but not (presumably) until after their mother Maria had died, almost 20 years later. Value of the estate by then is not known. See below for details on this.<br />
<br />
<b>1861 census</b><br />
At the Corn Mill, Maulden, Maria was a Retired Miller's widow (72), with her sons George (Cow Man) and Isaac (Miller). Also in the house is her grandson Charles R. Chandler (18, born Barton; Miller) {a familiar name from entries in Rowland Hallworth's <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/11/rowland-hallworth.html">post</a>}.<br />
<ul><li>Charles' son Thomas & Hannah are still next door, at Water End. (Doing rather well - he's described as a Miller & Farmer of 76 acres, employing 3 men & 1 boy. Also have a Gentleman Lodger. In the 1851 Census, Thomas had 30 acres & his father had 40 acres - so Thomas seems to have taken on his late father's lands since 1853.) </li>
<li>Charles' son Charles married Martha Ann (nee Lock, born in Biggleswade, married him in 1847) and living in Pulloxhill? They had 4 children: Mary, Maria, Martha, Charles (unusual to see both those names, Maria & Mary!). In the 1911 census, Martha Ann was counted in Pulloxhill, aged 91, a widow living with her single daughter Mary (57, born Pulloxhill). Martha had 4 children, but 2 of those had died by 1911.</li>
<li>Charles' son <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/philip-hallworth-1814-1880.html">Philip</a> was farming at Toddington.</li>
<li>Charles' daughter Hannah Maria Hallworth married William Chandler at Barton in the Clay, in 1841. They had 4 children (one of whom seems to be a Groom at his Uncle Thomas' place, though he was described as Servant, not nephew.).</li>
</ul><b><br />
1871 census</b><br />
By now, the Maulden Mill is occupied instead by widower Thomas Hallworth (59, Farmer & Miller, born Maulden), with his daughter Hannah Hallworth (30, born Maulden) & nephew Willm Chandler (24).<br />
(Thomas' wife Hannah had died in 1862.)<br />
<br />
Maria is aged 84, living 'next door' at Water End with her sons George & Isaac, as well as 2 granddaughters Mary (20) & Maria (17) who were both born in Pulloxhill.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Maria Hallworth (Pennyfather) dies</b><br />
<br />
Charles's wife Maria didn't appear in the next census. It appears she died (aged ~85) in October <b>1871</b> (just a few months after the Census), and was buried at Pulloxhill St James church.<br />
<br />
According to her husband's will, the estate was not to be divided amongst his many children until after his wife's death. One wonders how the considerable passage of time (1853-1871) affected the family. Presumably the business upon which the estate was based (the mill & farm) either increased or decreased in value in the intervening years. The Miller in that period - Thomas Hallworth & his family - would have had a difficult discussion with his siblings over who should get what. Particularly as he seems to have combined his father's farmlands with his own, and worked them for many years.<br />
<br />
Certainly, the estate of Charles Hallworth Senior was still not settled by the end of 1873. An article <a href="http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/24041/pages/5700">here</a> in the London Gazette of <b>1873 </b>asks for interested parties (creditors) to come forward. It names the executors as Thomas & Charles Hallworth - two of his sons, as we already knew from our reading of his will of 1853. It tells us Charles Senior was a miller of Maulden who died on 8/12/1853.<br />
<br />
The National Archives hold some papers about this issue, (notes about it <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATLN=7&CATID=-2998628&j=1#summary">here</a> and I have a copy now) - and the date given is October 1873. The paper is an Administration Summons, in which Philip Hallworth has asked that he should have a part in his father's legacy. The executors (Philip's brothers Thomas & Charles) were summoned to appear at the Middlesex Chancery Court ("at half past 11 of the Clock in the forenoon" on Saturday the 8th of November, 1873) to explain why an order can't be made for Administration of their father's estate.<br />

<br />
Next question - did they turn up? What was said?<br />
<br />
<b>What happened after that?</b><br />
According to the Harrod's Trade Directory of <b>1876 </b>Thomas Hallworth was a farmer & miller of Maulden. But, after only a short while as "Head Miller" he too died in <b>1877</b>, leaving his mill to his younger son Arthur Charles.<br />
Philip Hallworth died in 1880.<br />
<br />
Thomas's son Arthur Charles was recorded as the Miller in Maulden in the <b>1881 </b>Census, but soon passed the mill &/or farm onto one of his wider family, Samuel Brightman. (See more on this from a notebook held at BLARS & reproduced on this Mills post: <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/mills-in-bedfordshire.html">here</a>. Ref. SF39/119 - <b>1882</b>). <br />
<br />
<i>Isaac Hallworth died in 1894</i><i>, aged 65</i><i>. George had died in 1897, aged 78. Certainly the other sons were all dead by 1882.</i><br />
<br />
Also not yet sure if the Mill or Farm did pass to their in-laws Samuel Brightman & so remain in the wider family <i>after </i>1882, but a note from 1911 suggests the Mill is disused. It remained a Farm.<br />

<b>Thief Thomas Hallworth</b><br />
These depositions are from the Quarter Session Records for 1819, also held at Beds Archive, relating to "James Pestell, Radwell, Herts, miller; to give evidence against William Studman, Biggleswade, victualler for receiving four bushells fine and coarse pollard stolen by <b>Thomas Halworth</b> from James Pestell. (see 238 - 243)"<br />
<br />
<i>Pollard = a mixture of fine bran and a small amount of flour</i>.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>QSR/24/1819/238 - </b>Information of Jas. Pestell, Radwell, Herts., miller. Was told by his servant Bunn that Servant boy <b>Thos Halworth</b> left at 5 a.m. with some fine and coarse pollard. Pursued him and caught up with him and his cart two miles from Biggleswade, he was "lying down apparently asleep". J.P. continued on to Biggleswade and the Rose Inn where he stood in the bow window "to command a view of the street". T.H. took his cart into Wm. Studman's yard at the Yorkshire Grey. After 40 minutes he came out and down the street where J.P. called him in and gave him in charge. He and the constable then went to W.S. and recovered the pollard and gave that to the constable. See 106 {quoted above}.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>QSR/24/1819/239 - </b>Geo. Housden, Biggleswade, gardener. Saw Thos. Halworth go into the yard of the Yorkshire Grey "so soon as I had set down my Milk at home I went to William Studman's yard, I said Hallo so what are you up to here, what are you going to have a load of 'tators here".

<b>QSR/24/1819/240,241 - Thos. Halworth</b>, Radwell, Herts. William Studman asked him when he called in for a pint of ale whether he could get him some bran or pollard without his master knowing. He delivered three seeks <i>{sacks}</i> to him and received 2s. 6d. On the second occasion he was caught as in 238. He was sentenced to 14 days imprisonment and to be privately whipped at Hertford gaol; since being liberated his master has again taken him into his service. <br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>QSR/24/1819/243 - </b>Jn. Williams Bunn, Stotfold, miller. Foreman to Jas. Pestell, see 238, discovered that the pollard was missing after <b>Thos. Halworth</b> had left for Biggleswade. While he was wondering whether to follow him his master "came into the counting house". His master "had his chaise got ready & went after him".<br />
<br />
<b>QSR/23/1818/551 - </b>Indictments and Presentments: William Studman, Biggleswade, labr, receiving stolen goods from Thomas Halworth who was convicted at Hertford QS for theft of "Pollard" from James Pestell.<br />
<br />
I wonder of it's the same William Studman mentioned here in a petition/appeal (<b>QSR/24/1819/507</b>):<br />
Petition by 112 inhabitants of Biggleswade asking the court to "mitigate the severity" of the sentence of fourteen years transportation passed on William Studman, late of Biggleswade on account of his "Age, Infirmity, and former Character". William Studman was taken by the gaoler to the hulks, see gaoler's general bill 424.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Note here about an 1823 Bastardy case before the quarter sessions. {<b>QSR/26/1823/159</b>} Recognizances: Jas. Holworth, Marston; bastardy. With Susan Backhouse.<br />
I wonder what happened there. Presuming this is the James Hallworth who's father/grandfather was James H., a dairyman in Marston Moretaine. </div><br />

This one, from 1827 was fascinating in it's brevity... what on earth was the crime?<br />
<b>QSR/28/1827/302</b> - Information of <b>Chas. Halworth</b>; "helped to mark tickets which Thos. Wheeler tied on to the pigeons. Information of Thos. Wheeler; tied the tickets on at the Dog and Badger."<br />
Charles Hallworth gets a mention there - he was the <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/dog-badger-maulden.html">Dog & Badger</a> (Maulden) publican's brother.<br />
<br />
Ah! - on reading <b>QSR/28/1827/298</b>, I see that Thomas Hine was suspected of stealing another man's homing pigeons. To identify the pigeons, Wheeler & Hallworth tied marked tickets to each (at the Dog & Badger), released them and went home to see where the pigeons arrived. "On arriving home he found a great number of pigeons around his dovehouse, about twenty of which had tickets attached to them."<br />
Ingenious.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">***</div><br />
from <b> 1831 </b>-<br />
<br />
Farmer, King Baker of Cranfield, accuses Jonathan Hallsworth, late of Marston, (and also John Gillett, Joseph Mynards) for the theft of 2 hens. See Archives ref <b>QSR/32/1831/252</b> and <b>QSR/32/1831/846.</b><br />

There was also another Hallworth, <a href="http://apps.bedfordshire.gov.uk/grd/detail.aspx?id=16984">here </a>- David Hallworth in Marston, BEDS (born ~1814, Buckinghamshire), who was convicted in <b>1848 </b>of the crime of being Idle, and his punishment was a month hard labour!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">***</div><b><br />

<b>Ruffian Miller of Maulden, George Hallworth</b><br />
Follow <a href="http://apps.bedfordshire.gov.uk/grd/detail.aspx?id=10325">this link</a> to see all the detail available on this ruffian from the Bedford local government <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/ArchivesAndRecordOffice.aspx">Archives online</a>. There's an amazing level of detail recorded about his physical appearance (remember this was before photos/photofits)!<br />
<br />
His name was George Hallworth, and as he was aged 30 at his trial in <b>1851</b>, we can assume he was born ~1821. His birthplace is given as Maulden, and his trade was as a Miller - so he's very likely to be a relative of some sort. See above: our Charles (Phillip's father) had a son named George and he would be around the right age - though he's always described as a Farmhand rather than a Miller in contemporary census records. The victim of his crime was one Thomas Hallworth, who may well be Charles' neighbour (and first son) - see notes above.<br />
Another <a href="http://apps.bedfordshire.gov.uk/grd/detail.aspx?id=19102">record</a> tells us that he baulked at paying his fine! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">***</div><br />
A hardened criminal <a href="http://apps.bedfordshire.gov.uk/grd/detail.aspx?id=31537">here</a> - Jonathan Hallsworth aged 65, convicted in <b>1874 </b>of "Stealing Dead Fence". Goodness! I presumed there was some error of transcription going on, but what! Apart from this kind of image which obviously comes to mind (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeemusu/3224306133/" target="_blank">on flickr</a>), I couldn't begin to imagine what he may have done!<br />
An email enquiry to the Archives themselves illicited this prompt response from Pamela (and it makes so much sense I wish I had worked it out for myself!);<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"The offence of stealing a dead fence was quite common. When an old thorn hedge (generally a mixture of different prickly plants such as hawthorn, blackthorn, rose briars etc) needs rejuvenating because it is getting thin in the bottom you have to cut it down to the ground to allow new strong shoots to come from the bottom, obviously this leaves you with no hedge to keep your stock in the field so you use all or some of the thorn that you have cut down to create a temporary 'dead fence' by bundling the thorn together and 'planting' it in a trench next to the hedge you have cut down. The dead fence stays in place until the new hedge growth is sufficient to keep your sheep and cattle in the field. It was of course a serious thing for people to damage hedges and fences of any sort."</div><br />
Jonathan was twice previously held in the Old Gaol. His sentence this time was 14 days hard labour (or 17 shillings 3 pence); Ref BLARS QGV12/2.<br />
<br />
The trial of Jonathan Hallsworth at Ampthill Petty Sessions on 9th April 1874 was reported in the Bedfordshire Times as follows:<br />
"Jonathan Hallsworth, who did not appear (64), Marston, Labourer, was charged by John Sheard, farmer, of Marston, with stealing at that place on the 21st ult part of a certain dead fence, value 3 <i>{shillings?}</i>. Fined 1/ and 9/3 costs or 14 days' hard labour. Committed." <i>{Thanks again to Pamela at the Bedfordshire Archives.}</i><br />
Some variation in the reported fine there.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">***</div><br />
Finally, on the 5th of February <b>1875</b>, two Hallworths were tried on the same day, of assault - so perhaps they were assulting each other? One was George Hallworth (aged 17). The other was William Hallworth (23). They were summarily convicted and sentenced to 7 days Hard Labour, or 17 shillings. They were discharged on the 11th Feb (no previous convictions).<br />

SO remember your ancestors, and "do as you would be done by"!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18443751717172888793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669189542232454406.post-20893184305553027022009-01-22T10:00:00.042+00:002010-09-08T14:19:23.881+01:00Dog & Badger, Maulden<b>DOG and BADGER</b><br />
The pub named the Dog & Badger in Maulden was associated with the Hallworth family.<br />
That's the Dog & Badger at <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=109+Clophill+Rd,+Maulden,+Bedfordshire&sll=52.027331,-0.443927&sspn=0.01476,0.045447&g=109+Clophill+Rd,+Maulden,+Bedfordshire&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Clophill+Rd,+Maulden,+Bedford+MK45,+United+Kingdom&ll=52.026795,-0.43853&spn=0.000977,0.00284&t=h&z=19" id="e501" title="109 Clophill Rd">109 Clophill Rd</a>/ Badger Hill, Maulden, Bedfordshire, whose website can be found <a href="http://www.dogandbadgerbedford.co.uk/index.php" target="_blank">here</a>...<br />
<br />
not the Dog & Gun (Saffron Walden), the Dog & Duck (Houghton Regis), the Dog in a Doublet (Biggleswade), or even the Dog & Donut (Luton)!<br />
<br />
The brother of our direct ancestor (<a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/11/hallworth-millers-of-maulden.html" target="_blank">Charles</a> Hallworth 1785-1853), Phillip Hallworth was the licensed victualler at the Dog & Badger pub in the year 1841. More details later on this: first let's learn about Philip.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Philip Hallworth (1788-1848)</b><br />
I'm very grateful to Barbara, Susan & Patti for their help with many of the details in this family. Apologies to anyone who I haven't credited properly, this is getting unwieldy!!.<br />
Barbara is descended from Philip's younger brother, Jonathan. Susan, meanwhile, is related through the Timms family (married Elizabeth Hallworth, born 1796). Patti is descended from David Hallworth, son of James Hallworth & Margaret Hyde (Pulloxhill).<br />
They have done a great deal of research in the area and were generous in sharing the results. Again, a deal of helpful information came from the Bedford & Luton Archives & Records Service (<a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/ArchivesAndRecordOffice.aspx">BLARS</a> - I've tried to include a useful reference each time I've quoted their material). <br />
<br />
So between us we find that Philip Hallworth was born in Bedfordshire (Pulloxhill?) in ~1787, and that he married Sarah Brazier. He was a younger brother to our <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/charles-hallworth-1785-1853.html">Charles</a> Hallworth, a Miller in Maulden, born 1785. Read about their parents: <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/hallworth-name-origins.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Philip worked as a Licensed Victualler (though I presume he worked in the farms of the area before settling in this position).<br />
<br />
His wife Sarah Brazier (or Brasier) was born in Barton in the Clay, Beds. There are several matches for her, but the best one is this one {<i>Thankyou, Patti!} :-</i><br />
Sarah Brasier married to Philip Hallsworth, born 1787 Barton in the Clay, baptised 4 Mar 1787 Barton in the Clay, daughter of Luke and Hannah Brasier.<br />
Luke Brasier b 1753 Barton married Hannah Eames on 26 May 1777 Barton, and had 12 children there including Sarah. <i>(Info from Barton parish register</i>.)<br />
<br />
Philip married Sarah in Barton on 27 Dec 1810. They had no children of their own; at least none that we know of.<br />
<br />
<i>Here's a simple tree to help us get them straight, but do please shout at me if I have made a mistake:</i><br />

<br />
<b>Who was Licensed Victualler of the Dog & Badger?: </b><br />
<br />
Very early records seem to refer to a cottage, not a pub - "The Badger" of Maulden; e.g. <br />
<ul><li>a legal paper from 1736 - "Cott in Maulden once in occ Thos Underwood - known as the 'Badger'"</li>
<li>a legal paper from ~ 1743, found in BLARS; "messuage called "The Badger" and 15 acres - late in occ. Jn. Godfrey now of Samuel Quimby".</li>
</ul><br />
Not sure about this one from 1820 {BLARS ref L10/67-68} - does it mean the pub itself, or is it just referred to as the site of an auction? - <br />

<br />
<br />
I don't know exactly when Philip Hallworth began to be victualler at The Dog & Badger, but he certainly was there by the year <b>1822 </b>{BLARS ref: CLP13 Reg alehouse licences, 1822 until 1828} - see <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/licensing-victualler-of-pubs-in-maulden.html">this page</a> for further info.<br />
<br />
<b>1823 - </b>In the <a href="http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/archives">Nottinghamshire Archives</a>, a document is held which is a Receipted account of Philip Hallworth for beer for Mr. Gibbs' men paid by Mr. Richardson <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=157-dd1251&cid=5-1-5#5-1-5"><b>DD/1251/28/5</b></a> <i>28 Mar. 1823. </i>Curious - but I can't yet be sure it is 'our guy'. <br />
<br />
And he was there in the year <b>1827</b>:<br />
An inventory of an Ampthill Brewers {BLARS, Morris, ref Z 1043/1} from the year 1827 (when Philip would have been 39) has the following entry about <a href="http://www.charleswells.co.uk/home/pub-guide/pub/Dog-Badger-Maulden" target="_blank">The Dog and Badger, Maulden</a>:<br />
"freehold public house, occupied by <b>Philip Hallworth</b>, with a double bayed barn, double stable, cart shed, etc., eight acres of garden ground, five acres pasture land, and nearly two acres of arable land situated at a short distance from the house"<br />
<br />
And also in <b>1831</b>; this info comes from old documents listing plots of land {held in BLARS, dated December 1831<b></b>} <br />
- "cottage in Maulden with barns, stables etc. called <span style="color: black;">Dog & Badger</span> with close of arable and garden belonging of 8 acres and site or toft with barn, yard and close in Lowsey Mead of 5 acres in occupation of Philip Hallworth"; <br />
- "plot of 1a 2r 36p in Maulden in occupation of Philip Hallworth" {that's 1 acre, 2 rods, 36 poles, for those of you who don't <a href="http://home.clara.net/brianp/lengths.html">speak Victorian</a> - 1 acre is 4 roods.}<br />
<br />
<b>In the 1841 Census:</b><br />
Dog & Badger - Philip Hallworth & wife Sarah in the 1841 census - also with Sarah (21) & Jonathan Hallworth (19).<br />
(In the 1841 census schedule there is also the name Frances Lamas, aged 17; is she part of Philip's household, or living next-door??) <br />
So, Philip seems to have been the Victualler, occupying the Dog & Badger in 1822-8 and in 1841.<br />
<br />
<b>The Dog & Badger passes to Jonathan Hallworth</b><br />
Philip Hallworth died aged 60 in the year <b>1848</b>, leaving his wife Sarah but no children. He was buried at the recently restored <a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/871581" id="a0qc" title="St
James">St James</a> the Apostle Church, Pulloxhill on November 10th, 1848. (Read more about the church <a href="http://www.3churches.co.uk/" id="pvep" title="here">here</a>.)<br />
<br />
His estate was left to his wife, and then to 3 of his nieces & nephews; Jonathan & Sarah (whose father was Jonathan) and George (Charles' son).<br />
<br />
Philip's will {held in the Bedford <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/SearchOurCatalogues.aspx" target="_blank">Archives</a>, and generously shared with me by Barbara} tells us that the most favoured of them seems to have been his younger brother's son, Jonathan Hallworth. He was nominated (or volunteered!) to take over Philip's business. The 3 nieces & nephews inherited lump sums and several cottages in Maulden (excepting George who only received £50). The will tells us that in 1848, nephew Jonathan Hallworth was already occupying a cottage & premises {presume the pub??} in Maulden, so I'd presume that he was already the Victualler while Philip was ill/retired.<br />
<br />
Phillip's nephew Jonathan Hallworth was born in St. Albans (Herts) in ~1822. His baptism record was found on IGI {eventually - the name was transcribed as Johathan} - 16 SEP 1821 at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluetiger/3281283976/" target="_blank">Saint Michael</a> parish, Saint Albans, Hertfordshire, England. His parents were named as Jonathan & Mary Hallworth.<br />
<br />
In the Maulden Parish marriage records for Philip's niece, Sarah Hallworth, (November 1842, to market gardener James Brightman) we learn that her father was a miller, Jonathan Hallworth.<br />
<br />
<b>Parents of Philip & Charles... & Jonathan Hallworth?</b><br />
The parents of Philip & Charles were Thomas Hallworth and his second wife Elizabeth. <i>{Recorded as Hallsworth, Thanks Susan}</i> Thomas was a dairyman, who lived in Pulloxhill from 1749-1812. Susan found out about Thomas when reading the will of his younger brother, James (also a dairyman, in Pulloxhill, married to Margaret Hyde.)<br />
<br />
{We don't yet know anything about their parents, the earlier generation. A possible hit on IGI for Thomas' christening? Thomas Aldsworth, Watford, Herts - 16 Mar 1746 - parents Thomas & Hannah Aldsworth}<br />
<br />
Thomas, then, had two wives. First was Sarah who had two sets of twins, as well as some singleton babies. She died in around 1783-4, perhaps with the birth of her final child William in 1783. We know, by the by, that the older set of twins died as infants, and the younger set of twins girls were brought up by their Aunt & Uncle <i>{source - PR & the Aunt's will, through Susan. More on Uncle James another time?}</i>.<br />
<br />
His second wife was Elizabeth, whom Thomas married in 1784/5?. She was mother to Philip & Charles. Could they also have had a third child, Jonathan, who later married Mary, settled in St Albans and had a son Jonathan in 1821? <i>{I haven't found a marriage record yet for Jonathan & Mary - but I have seen them in the Census returns, now that I've been shown where to look!}</i><br />
<br />
Susan tells me that Thomas' last child, Jonathan was born in 1790, in Hertfordshire. Wonder why he was born there? We know that his parents had returned to Pulloxhill by the time of their death.<br />
What drew them to settle there? Actually, it's not that far away - only around 20 miles, further down the M1.<br />
<br />
Jonathan & Mary had 10 children in St Albans/Hemel Hempstead. The son Jonathan married Maria Sharp <i>{source IGI}</i> who was from Maulden, in the year 1842. They had two sons George & Phillip, and a daughter Sarah (all born in Maulden 1842-1858). He became the Dog & Badger publican.<br />
<br />
<b>1851 census</b><br />
In the 1851 census, at the Dog & Badger Inn, Maulden we see a Jonathan Hallworth (29, born St. Albans, Herts.) who is a Victualler & Market Gardener (having 12 acres, & 3 Labourers). His wife is Maria (32, born Maulden) and they have 2 young sons (George & Phillip) and a servant.<br />
<br />
Next door is Philip's widow & Jonathan's Aunt, Sarah Hallworth of Barton in the Clay, Beds. She is described as a retired Victualler - we know she had no surviving children of her own, but we also know that she had nephews/nieces in her charge for some time.<br />
<br />
According to the list of publicans licensed for the Dog & Badger<i> {BLARS}</i>, Jonathan Hallworth was there at least from 1853 - 1864.<br />
<br />
According to the olde trade directories, Jonathan's listed at the Badger, Maulden in <b>1854</b>.<br />
A reference in BLARS from October <b>1860 </b>lists several pubs linked with the Morris brewery, and it lists Jonathan Hallworth as landlord for the Dog & Badger then. <br />
<br />

<b>1861 Census</b><br />
Sarah Hallworth (born Barton-in-the-Clay) is head of her own Household in Maulden, aged 77.<br />
Sarah Hallworth died in Autumn <b>1861</b>; her death was registered in the last Q of 1861, in Ampthill district. The probate register entry is seen in <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/wills-probate-estates-for-hallworths.html">this post</a> - the estate was worth under £450.<br />
<br />
A note about a sale of goods from October <b>1861 </b>tells us that Philip's widow Sarah has passed away (very quick sale!), {BLARS ref SF39/114}:<br />
"Household furniture, linen and china, carpenter's tools and other effects to be sold on the premises near the Dog and Badger, late in the occ<i>{upation}</i> of Mrs Sarah Hallworth, deceased." It is a fascinating catalogue of her personal effects.<br />

<br />
I had to use Google to discover what several things were... Pier Glass is a tall thin <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_glass">mirror</a>; a plait mill would be used for <a href="http://www.strawcraftsmen.co.uk/">straw plaiting</a>; a clothes <a href="http://www.coxresearcher.com/definitions/fabrics.htm">flasket</a> is a shallow basket; a <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dark+lantern">dark lantern</a> which has a sliding cover; and a <a href="http://www.applegate.co.uk/news-on-line/frame-would-0023645.htm">tent bedstead</a> is a simple Fourposter.<br />
Fascinating to see that the sale even included pickles and ketchup in the kitchen, apples, and 5 cwt of coal in the yard!<br />
<br />
The Carpenter's Tools are described as "very excellent" and the tool chest is particularly admired; "fitted inside with 2 sets of mahogany drawer, slides, etc.". They do sound like a professional set, not just the kit of a hobbyist - but I haven't heard of anyone in the family described as a carpenter, yet.<br />
<i>Aah - looked up in the historical P.O. directory for Bedfordshire, 1854 - there are two Hallworths in Pulloxhill who would have made use of those tools - Samuel the Wheelwright, and William the farmer and carpenter.</i><br />
<i>No sensible reason yet as to why the family were selling these tools off!</i><br />
<i>Some such tools would have been useful to the Millers, for maintenance of the wooden structures... but they continued as Millers well after this Sale.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
In 1861, we know (thanks to the Census) that Jonathan was living & working at the Dog - <br />
he & his wife, Maria; his two boys, and a daughter Sarah.<br />
<br />
Jonathan's daughter Sarah Hallworth was born in 1858, but there is a record of a girl matching her profile who died in Wilhamstead in 1864, aged just 6.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Hallworths call time at the Dog & Badger</b><br />
From records held at BLARS, we know that by <b>1864</b>, there was a Mr. Sharp at the Dog. The local trade directory also lists George Sharp as the victualler there in the year 1876, and an archive list of licensees there suggests he remained from 1864 until 1903. (<i>Trade Directories weren't published regularly</i>).<br />
Was he perhaps a relative of Maria Sharp, Jonathan's wife? <b><br />
</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>1871 Census</b><br />
Certainly by 1871, Jonathan has changed trades - he was then recorded as a Farmer of 83 acres employing 2 men & 4 boys.<br />
The buildings and garden area next to the pub were auctioned off in November 1872. <br />
<br />
BLARS holds a sale poster from November <b>1872 </b>for:-<br />
"Sale poster for auction at the King's Arms' Inn, Ampthill, of 4 freehold cottages, barns and premises and garden ground situate near the Dog and Badger Inn... by direction of Jonathan Hallworth" (BLARS ref SF39/24):<br />

It tells us that the garden is laid to Fruit Trees. A Pole is about 30 <a href="http://www.johnowensmith.co.uk/histdate/measures.htm">square yards</a>.<br />
<br />
1873 - Jonathan's son Philip (born 1846) married Ellen Cox (or Cod) in Wilshamstead, and they settled as farmers in Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The 1881 Census</b> tells us that Jonathan was a farmer of 50 acres, employing 1 man & 2 boys. He is aged 60, and lives with his wife Maria (62), son George (38, Farmer's Son) and niece Mary Brightman (aged 28, soon to become George's wife, in 1883). The household live at Village St. in Wilstead.<br />
<br />
1883 - Jonathan's oldest son George (born 1843) married Mary Brightman (a cousin) in Maulden. He worked as a farmer & Miller, and the couple had 5 children born at Cotton End, Bedfordshire. Both of the sons became Millers.<br />
<br />
<b>1891 Census</b><br />
Jonathan continued as a Farmer, but was also a Corn Merchant by 1891. He lived next door (or opposite) to the Red Lion, Wilstead.<br />
Jonathan (70, Farmer & Corn Merchant), Maria, & niece Sarah Brightman (41, companion). <br />
<br />
Death of Jonathan - <b>1898</b>, aged 76, in Wilstead, Beds. Jonathan Hallworth was buried at Wilstead All Saints, in 1898.<br />
<br />
<br />
A document in the Bedford Archives (BLARS) tells us that the "<span style="color: black;">Dog & Badger</span>, Maulden, was in occupation of Jane Sharpe" around the date <b>1907</b>, I think.<br />
<br />
<b>And Finally...</b><br />
And finally, <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/CommunityArchives/KempstonRural/CrossKeysPublicHouse.aspx" target="_blank">a reference to</a> the modern-day licensee, Mr Hallworth, of the Cross Keys pub at Wood End, Kempston Rural.<br />

<br />
<b>Hallworth Ruffians</b><br />
A little postscript here for you (but you can read much, much, <b>more </b>about the Bedfordshire Hallworths with criminal records by clicking: <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/hallworth-ruffians.html">here</a>):<br />
<br />
Record from Bedford <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/ArchivesAndRecordOffice.aspx" target="_blank">Archives online</a>, from 1827, was fascinating in it's brevity... what on earth was the crime?<br />
BLARS ref <b>QSR/28/1827/302</b> - Information of <b>Chas. Halworth</b>; "helped to mark tickets which Thos. Wheeler tied on to the pigeons. Information of Thos. Wheeler; tied the tickets on at the Dog and Badger."<br />
Charles Hallworth was the Dog & Badger publican's brother at the time. <br />
<br />
Ah! - on reading BLARS ref <b>QSR/28/1827/298</b>, I see that Charles Hallworth was no criminal at all, but rather he helped to play detective!<br />
Thomas Hine was suspected of stealing another man's homing pigeons. To identify the pigeons, Wheeler & Hallworth tied marked tickets to each (at the Dog & Badger), released them and went home to see where the pigeons arrived. "On arriving home he found a great number of pigeons around his dove-house, about twenty of which had tickets attached to them."<br />
Ingenious.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, we've also ended where we began!!<br />

They were publicans at the Dog & Badger of Maulden, Bedfordshire from 1822 until around 1864.<br />
<br />
Here in this post, we have some more material for you about the licensees of this pub in Maulden, courtesy of some fascinating documents from the marvellous Bedfordshire Archives (<a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/ArchivesAndRecordOffice.aspx">BLARS</a>).<br />

Details from the inside of the earliest one (1822-3) are seen here: look for Maulden to see our Philip Hallworth. You'll see that a surety (bond) of 30 pounds was offered by a Miller of Maulden; one Charles Hallworth (more info on him on this page <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/charles-hallworth-1785-1853.html">here</a>). Also interesting that he put up the surety for the victualler of the White Hart, Maulden, too - Edward Dowdeswell.<br />
<br />

In other years a different gent offered surety for the Dog, and our Charles Hallworth offered surety for other Maulden pubs on occasion. It seems they took turns!<br />
<br />
In 1824-25, a Butcher from Gravenhurst put up the sureties for all the Maulden pubs; Wm Hare. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ex7CrB44TKa1byD5sY-6ERNmRde4OqxCDjrFDYfbqHheZp3Lk9ltZTqY7mjZ_RhL0FzzOVEnv0rzZhFTY4sxEsATWsYZ-nUoW3HCjwpeZ8Xjdc1Ev_Z23GiScbkf-vys6fnWW3CHncJh/s1600/Alehouse+Licences+1824-25+cropped.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ex7CrB44TKa1byD5sY-6ERNmRde4OqxCDjrFDYfbqHheZp3Lk9ltZTqY7mjZ_RhL0FzzOVEnv0rzZhFTY4sxEsATWsYZ-nUoW3HCjwpeZ8Xjdc1Ev_Z23GiScbkf-vys6fnWW3CHncJh/s320/Alehouse+Licences+1824-25+cropped.JPG" /></a></div><br />
In 1826-27, our Charles was voting for the George {had he fallen out with his brother??!} and John Brightman (a yeoman) was voting for the Dog.<br />
He was family, too - Barbara points out that, "John Brightman dealt with surety in 1826-27. He is very likely to be the father of James Brightman, who married Sarah Hallworth. He lived c.1785-1834, and was a Gardener in Maulden, at Green End Farm."<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>You can see that Charles & Philip seem to have made up!

(Read more about his parents in this post: <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/charles-hallworth-1785-1853.html">here</a>.)<br />
<br />
He married a lass from Flitton (baptised in Spring 1813) named Elizabeth Kitchener, in August 1833 in Flitton with Silsoe parish church - where his name was recorded as 'Holworth'.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Elizabeth's parents were named John & Lucy Kitchener.<br />
<br />
Baptism records at the parish of Flitton with Silsoe tell us that they had 3 children: Lucy Martha was baptised on 2nd February 1834, Philip in April 1835 (though he died just 3 weeks later), and finally John Hallworth (our ancestor) on 8th May 1836.<br />
Little Philip was buried at Flitton church (St. John the Baptist, <a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/716842">photo here</a>). <br />

</tbody></table>Could Philip perhaps be this child? This reference was found {via <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/">Familysearch</a>} in old parish records of Christenings in Bedfordshire {Info <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silsoe">here </a>on the village of Silsoe, near Ampthill}.<br />
<br />
Later Census records record that Philip's children (John & Lucy) were born in Greenfield or Flitton. So this also may show us that they lived there in the late 1830's. <br />
John's birthplace, the village of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenfield,_Bedfordshire">Greenfield </a>is near Flitwick & Ampthill in Bedfordshire.<br />
(There was a water<a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55106&sheetid=652&ox=3361&oy=1134&zm=1&czm=1&x=277&y=170" id="yq9:" title="mill">mill</a> just North of Greenfield - perhaps Philip was working there?)<br />
<br />
By 1841, though, they were living in central Toddington and Philip was a Baker.<br />
<br />
<b>Now to the very earliest National Census, Bakers in 1841..</b><br />
In <b>1841</b>, the census shows us Phillip Hallworth (25, Baker) and Elizabeth (25) with a toddler John Hallworth (5) and his sister Lucy (7) - living in Dunstable St., Toddington. All the family were born in Bedfordshire. <br />
{Do note that in the 1841 census the ages of adults were rounded up in 5's, so we can't really infer a birthyear here, but we could say that John was born around 1836.} <br />
<br />
There is a Dunstable Rd now through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toddington,_Bedfordshire">Toddington </a>- the A5120; but previously (see 1890 map <a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55106&sheetid=666&ox=3543&oy=1290&zm=1&czm=1&x=366&y=19" id="adr4" title="here">here</a>) perhaps part of it was referred to as Dunstable Street.<br />
Memories <a href="http://www.francisfrith.com/toddington,bedfordshire/memories/toddington-a-memory_145401/">here</a> from a childhood in Toddington.<br />
<br />
<b>On now by 10 years...1851</b> census of Toddington:<br />
Philip Hallworth (37, born Maulden; Baker)<br />
Wife Elizabeth Hallworth (38, born Flitton)<br />
Daughter Lucy Hallworth (transcribed to the database as Mary Holderith!?) (18, born Flitton), son John (15, birthplace not clear - possibly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranfield">Cranfield</a>? but in later returns it's given as Greenfield, near Flitton) and grandson Rowland (2, born Toddington/Calverton). We can reasonably assume that 2 year-old <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/11/rowland-hallworth.html">Rowland</a> is the son of Lucy.<br />
<br />
In <b>1853</b>, Charles Hallworth died and so son Philip came into a little money (his will can be found in Bedford archives, <i>Thanks Barbara</i>.)<br />
<br />
<b>1861 Census</b><br />
By now Philip & Elizabeth Hallworth have a large farm in Toddington, in 1861 - and continue there up until he died in 1880.<br />
<br />
The first mention of Philip Hallworth in the trade directories is in Cassey's Directory, published for <b>1862</b>; Philip is listed in Toddington as a farmer.<br />
<br />
<b>1871 Census</b><br />
Philip Hallworth was living at Long Lane Farm, North of Toddington (which is still there, see it on the map from 1891 <a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55106&sheetid=653&ox=3742&oy=1611&zm=2&czm=2&x=356&y=294" id="baj0" title="here">here</a>) and he was aged 57, farming 150 acres. The census records the number of staff on larger farms - here they employed "5 men & 2 boys".<br />
With him & his wife Elizabeth at that time were Rowland Hallworth (recorded as a son - but actually I think he was a grandson), Georgianna Baker (granddaughter), and Jessie Hallworth (granddaughter) as well as two servants.<br />
<br />
<br />
Records from the Bedford Archives (BLARS) may help us find out more about Philip and Elizabeth's farm. {also available in full at <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/advanced-search.aspx?searchType=a">The National Archives site</a>}<br />
<ul><li>In 1858, sale of 51 elm, ash, sycamore and fir trees, standing in Parsons End, Toddington, on land in the occupation of <b>Philip Hallworth</b>.</li>
<li>Detailed schedule of auction in 1860 for the sale of 34 elm and 1 ash trees, standing on land in the occupation of Mr <b>Philip Hallworth</b>, near Parson’s End, Toddington. Landowner – Mr Bright. {exact location unknown}</li>
</ul><blockquote>{In <b>1876</b>, the Harrod's trade directory for Houghton Conquest (near Ampthill) lists a Philip Hallworth as farmer of Dane Farm ... but this was not our man, I think he was a cousin. He was still there in 1901, with wife Ellen + 3 young adult children.}</blockquote><br />
In October <b>1873</b>, a court order (about the matter of his father's estate) names Philip Hallworth as a farmer of Maulden.<br />
<br />
Some time before 1880, The Hallworths moved back - to a farm in the North of Maulden, named Limersey.<br />
In May <b>1880</b>, our Phillip Hallworth died and was buried in Ampthill, aged 66 (so his birth was 1814). There were a lot of dealings over Philip's estate - the details are given in this <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/philip-hallworths-estate-1880.html">TrunkCalls post</a> and includes several copies of letters and the fascinating Catalogue of sale, <b>1881</b>, and also in <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/wills-probate-estates-for-hallworths.html">this post</a> about the probate registry.<br />
The main sale of Philip's estate was at Limbersey Farm, which was in the Maulden & Ampthill area. North Limbersey Farm is on the <a href="http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=505424&Y=238923&A=Y&Z=120">modern day map</a>, just North of Maulden. We can read a little about Limbersey Farm at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maulden_Wood">this Wiki page</a> - it has been the site of Roman/Iron Age archeological works. <br />
<br />
<br />
His wife Elizabeth Hallworth (nee Kitchener) was recorded (before the sale) by the <b>1881 </b>Census, at 'Limmersey', Maulden, Beds:<br />
Elizabeth Hallworth (67, born Flitton; Widow, Farmer)<br />
Son Rowland (32, born Toddington; Widower, Manager of Farm, Bailiff). <i>{See <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/11/rowland-hallworth.html">this post</a> about Rowland: we think he was perhaps Elizabeth's grandson.}</i><br />
2 grandchildren, Jessie (15) and William (13) Hallworth, both born in Heath & Reach <i>{who were, I think, John Hallworth's children.}</i>.<br />
<br />
I know Elizabeth died in the 1880's, but wasn't sure which of these 2 ladies was her:<br />
<ul><li>Elizabeth Hallworth in Woburn, 1882, aged 69 </li>
<li>Elizabeth Hallworth in Ampthill, 1886, aged 72</li>
</ul>The probate registry tells us more about the lady who died in 1886, and it was not Philip's wife... so 'our' Elizabeth died in 1882, just after her husband.<br />
<br />
<br />

His wife Elizabeth Hallworth (nee Kitchener) died before 1890.<br />
<br />
In documents seen so far, there is a mention of his will, but I've not found it yet.<br />
<br />
It seems that it took a while to sort out the estate to please everyone! There are several documents about this period (1880-1881) in the ever-bountiful BLARS (collection ref <b>SF/39/88/1-6</b>), and thanks again to Barbara for the copies.<br />
<br />
The papers refer particularly to the sale at Limersey Farm, Bedfordshire.<br />
<ul><li>The Limersey area gets a mention in <a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42429">this document</a> all about Ampthill, it seems to neighbour the Maulden parish. "The grange of <i>LYMBOTSEY</i> or <i>LIMERSEY</i>, with its rich pasture lands, was in the possession of the Abbot of Warden by the end of the 12th century." Additionally, in BLARS there is a mention of a stock sale due to Thomas Negus leaving Limersey Farm at the earlier time of 1876 {BLARS ref SF39/77}.</li>
</ul><i>so that would imply that Philip took up the Farm after the late Thomas Negus in 1876, moving from Long Lane Farm, Toddington where he had certainly been the farmer in 1871. </i> <br />
<ul></ul><ul><li>Also a more recent document - {BLARS ref PK2/3/1/17} for the sale of entire stock of <a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=7051848">Limbersey Lane </a>Poultry Farm by Mr Monkhouse in 1940. </li>
<li>(Sept 1881, BLARS ref <b>SF/39/88</b>) Limersey {Farm}: Live and dead farm stock, and other goods, by direction of the executors of the late Mr<b> </b>Philip Hallworth<b> - </b>auctioneers catalogue. The numbers of animals don't sound large by today's standards. We can see that his widow, Elizabeth, is not going to stay at the farm - some household furniture is up for sale, so perhaps she is moving somewhere smaller. In the page from within the catalogue (this was the auctioneers' copy) you can see who bought what - some familiar names there.</li>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Other items which went to John Hallworth in the auction were an Iron Pig Trough, 4 dozen churns, a barley chopper, shovel and scuttle.<br />
Also various carts and a quantity of harnesses/tack, as well as a timber Gig house to put it all in.<br />
I particularly enjoyed seeing the notes about some of the animals, as their names were noted. John bought several sheep & cattle, a Bull (£13/5s.), and 3 horses named 'Gilbert' (£28/7s.) 'Bandy', and 'Diamond'. <br />
<br />
George Hallworth also joined in at the auction - he bid for an Iron Plough (£1/5s), an <i>Avery's</i> weighing machine (£3) and a horse rake (£1).<br />
The total amount raised in this Swaffield auction was £525/10s.<br />
<br />
Again, I had to look up several of the terms used in this catalogue: a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogshead">hogshead</a> cask, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_mangle">box mangle</a>, <a href="http://www.gardenvisit.com/book/gardening_tools_equipment_and_buildings/chapter_1_digging_tools/daisy_rake">daisy rakes</a>, and <a href="http://www.fairfieldfamily.com/records/court%20documents/html/oldterms.html">beetle & wedges</a>.<br />
But what on earth were the several "Milk Lead", or the marvellous Nine-tine scuffle (sounds like a dance?! I've heard of a scuffle-hoe...)?<br />
<br />
A set of valuation notes about the farm also gives details about the crops in each field. North Farm has fields of Wheat, Peas, Barley, Beans, Mangolds, and 15 acres at Wood Close laid for Hay. South Farm has fields of Oats, Wheat, Barley, Beans and more laid for Hay. (A road cuts through the farm, East-West.) <br />

<ul><li>(Sept 1881) Letter from the Town Clerk’s Office, Dunstable. "Mr George Baker of Toddington, a trustee under <b>Philip Hallworth</b>’s will, objects to the widow and his co-trustee intending ‘to buy in or withdraw from the sale certain portions of the effects to enable Mrs Hallworth to join the son of the deceased in another farm’ and will hold Swaffield {auctioneers} responsible for the sale of the whole." {<i>I know that Philip's daughter Lucy married a gent named Baker</i>. We also know from the Spring 1881 Census that Philip's son <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/john-hallworth-born-1836.html">John</a> was in Wokingham at Folly Farm, but 'out of business' - was he just arriving or leaving?}</li>

<ul><li>And on the reverse of that letter, here's another little note by Geo Baker: difficult to read this one, but I think I read, "I do hereby agree for W. Swaffield to pay ... John Hallworth the amount I owe ...". So has he changed his mind? Or is this to pay for something quite separate? </li>

<br />
<ul><li>And after the sale is complete, John Hallworth writes to Swaffields to authorise them to pay the sums they have agreed to a Mr Geo. Baker and a Mr G. Hallworth {brother-in-law & brother}. Notably misses out the Duke (for the Lady Day Rent) - probably that was in another letter. You'll see that he is still living at Folly Farm - it's dated 31/10/1881. {BLARS ref SF/39/88}</li>

<ul></ul>As I mentioned before, his wife Elizabeth Hallworth (nee Kitchener) died around 1886. Probate records from her will have been made available, <i>and will appear soon</i>.<br />

He was baptised in 1836 at the church of Flitton-with-Silsoe, Bedfordshire.<br />
<br />
The <b>1861 </b>census reveals that John Hallworth (25, described here as born Toddington, Beds {South of Ampthill}) has moved out of his parent's house and settled with Eliza (29, Bucks). They lived in Little Mill House, Ampthill. They had a baby son Robert, and a live-in Nurse Maid. The Mill employed 2 men. This seems to be a time of prosperity for the family!

<br />
Some time after 1864, John & his family moved to Grange Mill at Heath & Reach...<br />
<br />
<b>On once more by 10 years...Millers</b><br />
Now, if we step forward in time to <b>1871</b>, we find John (35, Farmer & Miller) and his wife Eliza (39) living in Grange Mill, Heath & Reach, Bedfordshire with their children Robert (10), Eliza (8), Charles (6), William (2), and baby John (10 mths). Also a visitor, Ann Hammond who is clearly given as "Wife's sister" (born Grt Brickhill, aged 37, unmarried). Another child (who may be theirs but it's not confirmed) was living with their Grandparents Philip & Elizabeth in Toddington: Jessie (5).<br />
<br />
<i>The young Charles Hallworth here was later <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/hallworth-beginnings.html">our Harry</a>'s father.</i><br />
<br />
The village of <a href="http://www.heathandreach.com/">Heath & Reach</a> is near Leighton Buzzard, South Beds. You can read much more about Grange Mill on <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/mills-in-bedfordshire.html">this TrunkCalls</a> page.<br />
<br />
A neighbour of John's at the Grange Mill was the family of George & Rebecca Sharp at Mill Plot Cottage - they were from Toddington, BEDS. The head of the household is described as an Ag Lab, aged 31. The name is familiar - see the <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/dog-badger-maulden.html">Dog & Badger page</a>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
A little side note from the Bedford Archives about the Grange Mill at Heath & Reach - they have copies of claims by millers in the area against the Grand Junction Canal Company from the period up to <b>1848</b>. The name of the miller at Grange Mill then was Mr Joseph Turney - I presume the nearby Canal was affecting the water flow.</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
By the time of the 1881 Census, John and his family had moved to Berkshire, so I searched the historical directories for Berkshire in this period to find: <br />
<b>1876</b> Harrod's Directory: Swallowfield, Berkshire, C. Hallworth, farmer. {don't know who he is, haven't found a Census entry for him. Could this be a misprint for J. Hallworth??} Was he there then???<br />
Otherwise, this could be an unknown relative who helped set up John & his family in this area of Berkshire.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Now to 1881...Farmers in Berkshire</b><br />
<span style="color: black;">Now in the 1881 Census, we can see John & Eliza Hallworth (with our young Charles Hallworth) </span>were living in Wokingham near Reading, Berkshire. Not sure how long this has been going on, but John here is described as an Out of Business Farmer. If we look at <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/philip-hallworths-estate-1880.html">this page</a> about John's father, we see that he died in 1880 and his farm stock was sold off in 1881. The marvellous documents which can be seen there tell us that John purchased several of the farm stock etc. A letter from John held in that archive tells us he was still at Folly Farm in October 1881.<br />
<br />
<i>Transcription for Folly Farm, Wokingham:</i><br />
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
John HALLWORTH, aged 45, born Greenfield, Bedford; Farmer (Out Of Business)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Eliza HALLWORTH, Wife, aged 49, born Buckhill, Bucks <i>{that would be Bow Brickhill}</i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Robert HALLWORTH (Son, unmarried, aged 20, born Ampthill, Bedford)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Eliza A. HALLWORTH (Daughter, unmarried, aged 18, born Ampthill, Bedford)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Charles HALLWORTH (aged 16, born Ampthill, Bedford)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
John HALLWORTH (aged 10, born Heath And Reach, Bedford, a Scholar)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Mary HALLWORTH (aged 8, born Heath And Reach, Bedford, a Scholar)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Philip HALLWORTH (aged 6, born Swallowfield, Berkshire)</div>
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
So...from the details of the entry in 1881, we can see that the Hallworths were living in the Ampthill area up until the time of John's birth when they had moved to Heath & Reach. Then by the time of Philip's birth (~ 1875) they had moved to the Swallowfield area. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">There are also two children living with their widowed Grandmother in Limersey, Maulden - they would appear to be the children of John & Eliza Hallworth. They are Jessie (aged 15) and William (aged 13), both born in Heath & Reach.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Jessie was recorded as born in the Leighton Buzzard district in 1866, whilst William Henry was </span><span style="color: black;">recorded as born in the Leighton Buzzard district in 1868 <i>{source FreeBMD; Heath & Reach is in the L. Buzz district}</i>.</span><br />
<br />
I've also seen the Farm & Court shown on a contemporary map at <a href="http://www.old-maps.co.uk/">old-maps.co.uk</a>, when the area was much less built up.<br />
Folly Farm, helpfully, has been Grade II listed, and you can view it's entry on the list <a href="http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-41624-folly-farm-wokingham">here</a>. Click on the map tabs to view the property, which is on the opposite side of Barkham Road from Folly Court.<br />
On Barkham Rd in 1881 (near the Folly Farm) there are two households of Licensed Victuallers - one named "New Leather Bottle" and another named "<a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4084">Old Leather Bottle</a>"! <br />
<br />
The neighbouring property of Folly Court, home of the Dauberrey family (retired Military). See map <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Folly+Court+Wokingham&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&resnum=1&ct=title">here</a>. This property in 1881 had a full complement of domestic staff - including a coachman - so perhaps that is where young Charles (and his brother William) got an interest in his future trade as coachman?<br />
Folly Court is now an <a href="http://www.guidedogs.org.uk/adviceandservices/owning-a-guide-dog/dog-care-and-welfare-advisors/#c238" id="soza" title="area office">area office</a> / Kennels for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.<br />

<b>1887 </b>Kelly's Directory: Waltham St. Lawrence, Southlake St. - John Hallworth, Baker. {This page told me that Southlake St. (or Shurlock Row) is an area just SW of Waltham St. Lawrence, the area dominated by <a href="http://www.berkshirehistory.com/castles/billingbear_park.html">Billingbear Park</a>.}<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Grocers & Bakers</b><br />
In the <b>1891 </b>return, we see John was no longer a farmer. He was a Baker & Grocer, and he lived with his wife Eliza Hallworth and son Robert (Baker Asst.), son William (22, a groom, born Heath & Reach) and daughter Mary.<br />
<br />
They were living in Southlake St. (White Hart - is it still there?), Waltham St. Lawrence (Cookham district). <br />
<ul>
<li>Charles had left home by then, read more about him <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/charles-hallworth-born-1864.html">in this page</a>.</li>
<li>Eliza Junior -- there's a reference in FreeBMD to the marriage in Richmond (Surrey) of Eliza Annie Hallworth in 1891. Her husband's name was not recorded, sadly. (No other cases found more locally, nor was her death found on the BMD index.)</li>
<li>John Junior - ?</li>
<li>Philip - settled with a wife by 1901.</li>
<li>The son William had not appeared on papers until I found this 1891 return!</li>
<li>Jessie (who may be their child, born 1866) may have been in service with a well-off Widow & daughter in Paddington, London. (The area of St. Luke's, which is familiar from our Charles' life story!)</li>
</ul>
Marriage records in <i>Berkshire</i> begin to show Hallworth marriages in the year 1893 (none before that, unless it was spelled differently!) - the first was William Henry Hallworth (1893 to Ruth Clements; <i>Vol 2c, p781</i>) in the Cookham district, and the second was Jessie Hallworth (in 1895 to Ivan George Obree) in Cookham.<br />
In <b>1895</b>, a lass named Jessie Hallworth married Evan/Ivan George Obree (?) in the Cookham district <i>Vol 2c, p273</i>. (No proof yet, but I think she may be John & Eliza's daughter, born 1866, Heath & Reach. I've not found her husband anywhere else - except in Kent; Ivan George Obree, born Eastry, 1871. Perhaps they met when they were both in service in London?)<br />
<br />
<b>1899 </b>Kelly's Directory: Waltham St. Lawrence, Southlake St. - John Hallworth, Baker. <br />
(also similar entry in 1903)<br />
<br />
<br />
Then to <b>1901 </b>census return - we can see John (64, Baker & Grocer) & Eliza (69, born Bow Brickhill, Bucks). They live with their children Robert (40; Grocer's assistant) & Mary (28) - and they were still living in Waltham St. Lawrence.<br />
This census enumerator has a much neater hand, so I can finally be confident of Eliza's place of birth. Great site <a href="http://www.bowbrickhill.com/index.html">here </a>for info & photos on Bow Brickhill; <i>Thanks to Zoomalison for recommending that link</i>.<br />
<ul>
<li>I found William in 1901 settled with a wife Ruth, and 4 children on Waterloo Road, Wokingham. Like his brother Charles, he also worked as a Coachman.</li>
<li>Their youngest son Phillip (born 1875, Swallowfield) is seen settled with his wife Lucy in Shurlock Row (near his parents), Waltham St. Lawrence in the 1901 Census. He worked as a Baker.</li>
</ul>
<br />
John Hallworth died in September 1904, see more on the probate registry: <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/wills-probate-estates-for-hallworths.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Then, from the <b>1911 </b>census we know that Robert Hallworth (48) is still living in the Cookham district, with his brother Philip (36). I wonder if one of them was the Cookham grocer shown in <a href="http://www.stanleyspencergallery.org.uk/index.asp?id=98&page=search-item">this painting</a>?!<br />
Philip is the Head of the household, married to Lucy Louisa Hallworth (nee Bird, married for 12 years, no children) and living above the shop at White Waltham near Maidenhead (Sheepcote Lane, next to the Mission Chapel). He was a Baker & Grocer, whilst his brother Robert was an assistant. Also in the household were his wife's mother & sister.<br />
<br />
Their other brother William Henry Hallworth was still a Coachman, living at 4 Waterloo Rd, Wokingham. Also with him are his wife Ruth & 4 children, though we read that they have another child still living. (Perhaps living in service somewhere?)<br />
*NEW* A Wokingham Local History page has some helpful details about a son of William & Ruth in this very proud entry: <a href="http://www.wokinghamremembers.com/hallworth-albert-w/">Wokingham Remembers</a><br />
<br />
Also in the <b>1911 </b>Census, Eliza Hallworth (79, widowed) is living with her daughter Mary (unmarried, aged 38) - at 37, Barkham Rd., Wokingham. She made a useful mistake when she filled in the form, and entered helpful extra details about her marriage to John. (As she was a widow, these details were not required and so the enumerator struck them out.) She tells us she was married for 51 years, and had 8 children, though one had died. This was news to me - I knew of only 7 children, although I have suspected Jessie Hallworth was a child of theirs. <i>I can't fix yet on which child had died by 1911 - it's either Eliza, John, or Jessie.</i><br />
<br />
<blockquote>
In 1911 a retired Farm Labourer named Alfred Hallworth (75, born Harwell) was living in a very small house at Twyford, just west of Waltham. I hadn't previously heard of this gent. Interesting to note that he was born in Berkshire, rather than Beds (unlike all the others of his generation in the family).</blockquote>

Does anyone out there recognise her? Perhaps you’d be kind and post a comment to let me know?<br />
<br />
By the way, if you've just read the post 'John Hallworth', then you already know about Eliza Hallworth - I have simply rewritten it here; this is a condensed version!<br />
Apologies, several links have been lost, I will fix this ASAP. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I infer from census entries that Eliza was born around 1832. I know that she was born in or around <a href="http://www.bowbrickhill.com/index.html">Bow Brickhill</a>, Bucks – although other census entries transcribe her birthplace as ‘Buckhill, Bucks’ etc. I know that (in 1860) Eliza married John Hallworth (born ~1836 in Toddington/Ampthill, Beds) and had 7 children. Her husband John was a Farmer & Miller (his father had been a baker and became a farmer).</div><br />
<div>In the census of <span style="font-weight: bold;">1841</span>: A possibility is in this family: Robert Hammond, (50); Farmer of Galley Lane (?), Great Brickhill, & wife Ann (45), children Thomas (20), Betsey, Mary, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eliza</span> (10), Ann and Charles (6).</div><div></div><br />
<div>In the census of <span style="font-weight: bold;">1851</span>: there are several Elizas who may be her, but only one Hammond!<br />
<div><ul><li>Eliza Hammond (19) born 1832, Bow Brickhill, daughter of Farmer Robert & Ann Hammond in Grt Brickhill.</li>
</ul></div></div><div></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
Marriage Certificate</span><br />
<div>We know from the 1860 marriage index (Free BMD) that an Eliza Hammond married a John Hallworth in the Newport Pagnell district, in April -June 1860. N. Pagnell is near Milton Keynes, not so far from both Bow Brickhill & Ampthill.<i></i></div><div></div><br />
In the census of <span style="font-weight: bold;">1861 </span>our Eliza has married John Hallworth and taken his name. They are found in Little Mill House, Ampthill. They have a baby son Robert (born 1861), and a live-in Nurse Maid. The Mill employs 2 men. They go on to have some more children – Eliza (1863), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Charles </span>(1864), {Not seen any references to Little Mill House elsewhere, but perhaps it is part of the <a href="http://www.ampthill.info/page13.htm#AmpthillPark">Little Park</a>? There is also a Doo-little Mill, Steppingley Rd, Ampthill - perhaps a windmill, and now a business park.}<br />
<br />
<div><br />
They moved from there to Grange Mill, Heath & Reach, near Leighton Buzzard, South Beds (<span style="font-weight: bold;">1871 </span>census) where they had the following children. I think they may have had a child named Jessie (1866). Certainly they had a son William (1868), John (1870) and daughter Mary (1873) whilst living at Heath & Reach. Presumably moved there to be nearer to Eliza's family (her sister Ann Hammond was living at the Mill at the time of the census in 1871). More on the Grange Mill, on the <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/mills-in-bedfordshire.html">mills page</a>.<br />
<br />
From there they move to Folly Farm, Wokingham {near Reading}, Berkshire, England (a neighbour of the Dauberrey family (retired Military) at Folly Court {more on this <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/john-hallworth-born-1836.html">here</a>}). In the <span style="font-weight: bold;">1881</span> census John is described as a Farmer (out of business) and all of the adult children living at home are also not ascribed any occupations. A further child, Phillip, was born in Swallowfield, Berks (near Reading) in 1875. I think he was the youngest.<br />
<br />
Finally they settled in Southlake St., Cookham (near Wokingham). In the <span style="font-weight: bold;">1891 </span>and <span style="font-weight: bold;">1901 </span>census, we find they are running(?) the Bakery & Grocer’s shop. Their son Robert continues to live with them – he is now employed in the business. Son William also lives there (a groom), as does youngest daughter Mary.<br />
As for Eliza Junior, John & Phillip – I don’t know where they went. Their son Charles (born 1864) moves to Chepstow to be a Coachman, and then marries a Londoner, Kate. Charles & Kate Hallworth settle in Sockburn, on the Durham/Yorks border.<br />
<br />
Peter tells us that her husband John Hallworth (born 1836) died in <b>1904</b>, Maidenhead.<br />
<br />
In the <b>1911 </b>Census, Eliza Hallworth (79, widowed) is living with her daughter Mary (unmarried, aged 38) - at 37, Barkham Rd., Wokingham. She made a mistake when she filled in the form, and entered helpful extra details about her marriage to John. (As she was a widow, these details were not required and so the enumerator struck them out.)<br />

<br />
She tells us she was married for 51 years, and had 8 children, though one had died. This was news to me at the time! (Since then, I'm thinking it must be Jessie was their child - she was living with her grandmother in 1871 & 1881. But who died before 1911?)<br />
<br />
It seems likely that this Eliza is the lady who died in 1916, aged 84, in the Easthampstead district of Berkshire.<br />
Their children who stayed at home are possibly these folks from the index of death certificates:<br />
Robert P. Hallworth died in 1916, aged 55 in the Maidenhead district. {We know he was born in 1861.}<br />
William Hallworth died in 1929, aged 59, in Ampthill. {We know he was born in 1869.}<br />
Mary Hallworth died in 1951, aged 79, in the Wokingham district. {We know she was born in 1873.}<br />
Eliza Hallworth junior born 1863 - perhaps she married, or died outside the area. Or perhaps she was the Elizabeth R. Hallworth who died at Ampthill in 1969, aged 91?<br />
Youngest child Phillip Hallworth possibly is the gent who died in Easthampstead, in 1917 (aged 43 - fits as we know he was born in 1875).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Hammond family</b> <br />
I posted a link earlier to the excellent village website <a href="http://www.bowbrickhill.com/">http://www.bowbrickhill.com/</a>... well, Sue from that site did me a great favour by looking up the Hammonds in the parish registers. There were lots of Hammonds, but she may well have found 3 generations in one hop here:<br />
<blockquote>8 October 1831, baptism of Eliza Hammond (daughter of Robert & Ann) -I think that's your Eliza.<br />
Then there's a Robert Hammond, baptised 10 March 1791 (son of George and Ann)<br />
And I've got a George Hammond, baptised 8 February 1756 (son of John & Sarah)<br />
<div align="left" dir="ltr"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"></span></div><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />
Great, Sue - thanks for not resisting!!</span></blockquote>Then:<br />
Jane N told me about her family - listed on BowBrickhill.com - they are the Cleavers, and a Catherine <span style="font-style: italic;">Hammond </span>married into the family.<br />
<blockquote>"The only thing I can say for sure is that either her father or brother was George Hammond, as he was the witness at her marriage to John Cleaver." She believes that Catherine Cleaver nee Hammond was buried in January 1791 with her new-born daughter Catherine. </blockquote>It seems that this Catherine in Janes' family tree was a younger sister of George Hammond. He married a lass called Ann, and their children include our Robert (born 1791), also perhaps Ann and Penelope (born in 1788 and 1792 respectively).<br />
<br />
This is all in the Bow Brickhill area, and needs confirmation. Grateful thanks to Jane for sharing her info and helping me to puzzle it out!<br />
<br />

If anyone out there has any stories, photos, clues or even corrections about Eliza – I’d be very chuffed to hear from you!<br />

I am still trying to confirm that these people are all from the same family. If anyone out there can help here, do let me know!<br />

<br />
Many Thanks to Evelyn of Quebec, and also to Charlotte for sharing their information.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Rowland John Hallworth was born c1849 in Toddington, and died in Luton, c1892. He was married twice over, once to Ann Carr (1872) who died very soon after. Next he married Susan Pratt (in 1883, in Luton). These informants had no records of any children of Rowland Hallworth.<br />
<br />
<br />
Charlotte has been very helpful in searching through records, looking for Rowland Hallworth (she is related to his second wife, Susan). She found him in the national census returns from 1851 to 1891, which fits what we know of his lifespan. In the 1851 census, the family name was transcribed as Hathwarth and Holderith, which explains why I didn't find them with my initial simple search! It is useful to see this 1851 census, because more details were recorded about each person compared with the 1841 census.<br />
<br />
On viewing an image of the original document, however, I can see that it is the right family:<br />
<b>1851</b> census of Toddington:<br />
Phillip Hallworth (37, born Maulden; Baker)<br />
Wife Elizabeth Hallworth (38, born Flitton)<br />
Daughter Lucy Hallworth (transcribed to the database as Mary Holderith!?) (18, born Flitton), son John (15, birthplace not clear - possibly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranfield">Cranfield</a>? but in later returns it's given as Greenfield, near Flitton) and grandson Rowland (2, born Toddington/Calverton). We can reasonably assume that 2 year-old Rowland is the son of Lucy.<br />
Read more about Philip Hallworth: <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/philip-hallworth-1814-1880.html">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<b>1861</b> census of Toddington - Longlane Farm:<br />
Phillip Hallworth (47, born Maulden). Phillip is given now as a farmer of 150 acres, with 7 labourers employed.<br />
Wife Elizabeth Hallworth (48, born Flitton)<br />
Grandson Rowland (12, born Toddington; Scholar); granddaughter Emma Baker, aged 3; and a young nephew Thomas Chandler from Barton. There is also a Farm servant and a general servant in the household.<br />
Lucy & John have left home:- John we have already covered, Lucy is now married, found as Lucy Baker in Dunstable St., Toddington (wife of a Corn Dealer - George Baker - mother to 3 small children; John, Lucy and Martha) - so now we know that the granddaughter Emma is also Lucy's child.<br />
<br />
<b>1871</b> census of Toddington, Longlane Farm (?):<br />
Phillip Hallworth (57, born Maulden) The Farm is still 150 acres, employing 5 men + 2 boys.<br />
Wife Elizabeth Hallworth (58, born Flitton)<br />
Rowland is still at home, now entered as their unmarried Son (probably a simple error)- aged 22, born Toddington.<br />
Also 2 granddaughters Georgeanna Baker (Lucy's child, aged 7), and Jessie Hallworth (aged 5 - born at Heath & Reach, which leads me to suggest she could be a child of John Hallworth, rather than Rowland (although either is possible).<br />
Also there now are two domestic servants.<br />
<br />
<b>1881</b> census of 'Limmersey', Maulden, Beds:<br />
Elizabeth Hallworth (67, born Flitton; Widow, Farmer)<br />
Son Rowland (32, born Toddington; Widower, Manager of Farm, Bailiff).<br />
2 grandchildren, Jessie (15) and William (13) Hallworth, both born in Heath & Reach.<br />
<br />
Note that Rowland is entered as a Widower here, which suggests that he was married and widowed between 1871 and 1881. I have seen an entry for the marriage of Rowland John Hallworth to Ann Carr in 1872, in the Woburn area, and for the death of Ann Hallworth in 1875. She was born in c.1848.<br />
<br />
Also note that in the register of deaths, we see that Phillip Hallworth died in 1880 in the Ampthill area. After the 1881 census, we see the death of Elizabeth Hallworth in either 1882 (in Woburn area) or 1886 (in Ampthill area) (there were two Elizabeths born in the same year in that area, so we can't be clear without a death cert). So now the estate passes to Lucy, John & Rowland?<br />
<br />
<b>1891</b> census of 18 Winsden Rd, Luton, Beds (not in the current map):<br />
Rowland Hallworth (42, born Toddington) and his wife Susan (36, born Frog/Troy Hall; a Straw Hat Machinist). It is interesting to see that Rowland here is given as a Retired Farmer, even though only 42.<br />
No children. The house has 4 rooms.<br />
Neither Rowland nor Susan are seen in the 1901 census; we do know from the registry of Deaths in Luton that a Rowland John Hallworth died in 1892.<br />
<br />
Note that in 1851 and 1861, Rowland is listed as grandson of Phillip Hallworth, then in 71 and 81 as son, which could have been an error, or it could mean that he was an illegitimate child of Lucy Hallworth. In 1861 and 1871, other children of Lucy Baker (nee Hallworth) are also in the household.<br />
<br />
I have found the marriage details for Lucy Martha Hallworth in 1852 in the Woburn district, to George Baker.<br />
I have a feeling that I've found the right Lucy in the register of deaths- in 1906, Ampthill. (In the 1901 census return for Toddington she & George Baker are living at Rose Cottage, Princes' St., where he is described as a retired Baker!)<br />
<br />

Charles Hallworth died in 1862. He was not of our direct line - he was the butcher and farmer in Pulloxhill. Estate <£2000. His widow was named Hannah.<br />

Next we can see two entries for the will of our ancestor <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/philip-hallworth-1814-1880.html">Philip Hallworth</a>, in June 1880 and January 1881. A note is seen in the margin that there were duplicate entries, though I can't explain why as yet. Perhaps it was due to the codicil.<br />

Useful to read that his son John Hallworth was at Swallowfield, Berkshire in June 1880.<br />

<b>BERKSHIRE </b><br />
Our line of the family moved to Berkshire, and we do find a few entries filed under Berkshire from 1904.<br />

<b>Windmills or watermills??</b><br />
Sorry if this post is still a bit rough round the edges. <br />
So far, I only have specific info about a few mills in Bedfordshire (especially Maulden, Heath & Reach).<br />
Get a sense of place about each town in Bedfordshire - start with the list <a href="http://www.galaxy.bedfordshire.gov.uk/webingres/bedfordshire/vlib/0.local_information/information_by_place.htm#Local%20Information" id="q2o6" title="here">here</a>. <br />
<br />
A number of general online sources for information on mills: <a href="http://www.windmillworld.com/index.htm">Windmill World</a> (and <a href="http://www.windmillworld.com/watermills/watermills.htm">Watermills</a> at Windmill World); <a href="http://www.millsarchive.com/">The Mills Archive</a>;<br />

<br />
Steam powered mill at Ampthill - run by James Norman in 1890.<br />
Mill powered by steam and water - at Toddington - run by Ezra Bright in 1890.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Windmills</b><br />
<br />
Windmills have a longer <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=6eCK1Ypl490C&lpg=PA70&dq=cornmill&as_pt=MAGAZINES&pg=PA70#v=onepage&q&f=false">history</a> than you might imagine.<br />
<br />
Here on the <a href="http://library.kent.ac.uk/library/special/html/mills/ANG-BED.htm#point2" id="w_1a" title="Muggeridge">Muggeridge</a> site - you can view old photos (~1933) of derelict Windmills in Bedfordshire - the nearest of interest are at Houghton Conquest & Cranfield.<br />
<br />
Trade directories for the area tell us that there was a windmill at Barton, BEDS - run by miller George Hipgrave in 1890.<br />
<br />
<b>Watermills</b><br />
There is a watermill at Bromham, just west of Bedford, which has been restored to working order - see their own site <a href="http://www.borneo.co.uk/bromham_mill/" id="tt3:" title="here">here</a>. (sadly that link hasn't worked for me yet) - or view <a href="http://www.aboutbritain.com/BromhamMill.htm" id="th.d" title="this
page">this page</a> about the mill, where we read;<br />
<blockquote>"<span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial; font-size: x-small;">Today, the Mill once again grinds flour, much as it used to. Millers tell the same tall stories and the machinery creaks, groans and splashes away.</span>"</blockquote><br />
A watermill at Ivinghoe (South of Leighton Buzzard), Ford End Mill, was derelict but is now restored to good working order. See <a href="http://www.fordendwatermill.co.uk/" id="ajmx" title="this site">this site</a> for a great deal of interesting information Ford End Mill, and watermills in general.<br />

(This <a href="http://www.schoolsliaison.org.uk/sarehole/flashMovies/cutaway02.htm" id="qef5" title="animation">animation</a> was especially good fun, if you are 7!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Specific Mills: Flitton with Silsoe?</b><br />
<a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/philip-hallworth-1814-1880.html">Philip</a> Hallworth lived at Greenfield/Flitton ~1835, but I'm not sure if he was working as a miller there. He may well have been only a farmer.<br />
<br />
Flitton Mill? Almost, but not quite! I got excited when I found <a href="http://www.francisfrith.com/flitwick/photos/the-mill-c1960_F108025/">this old photo</a> on Francis Frith, but it's not quite right, being of the Mill at <i>Flitwick</i>. Hohum, we can use our imaginations.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>The watermill at Flitwick was an overshot type mill, I've seen a photo from 1940 in <a href="http://www.millsarchive.com/1about/portal.aspx" id="be4h" title="The Mills Archive">The Mills Archive</a>. Also current photos here on <a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1517020">Geograph</a>.<br />
It was run by Richard Goodman in 1890 {source - trade directories}.</blockquote><br />
<b>Greenfield Mill?</b><br />
Again, not even sure if <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/philip-hallworth-1814-1880.html">Philip</a> Hallworth worked as a miller while he lived at Greenfield/Flitton ~1835.<br />
The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenfield,_Bedfordshire">wiki page</a> for Greenfield tries to describe the former site of a mill (it was disused by the 1960's); "Mill Lane was named after the mill which worked until the 1960s and was located at the bottom of the lane and public bridal way where a bridge now stands".<br />
<br />
A photo is on this site <a href="http://www.ampthillimages.com/">AmpthillImages.com</a>, but I can't give you a direct link. Look for OUT & ABOUT, then look in the list of towns for Flitton & Greenfield. On the first line you'll see a thumbnail of the Greenfield Mill photo, taken ~1900.<br />
<br />
<b>Maulden Mill:</b><br />
The census returns and other records quoted below inform us quite conclusively that the <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/charles-hallworth-1785-1853.html">Hallworth family</a> occupied Maulden Mill, and also that the father-in-law (Pennyfather) was the Maulden miller before them. <br />
<blockquote>BLARS ref <b>PUAV 41/32 </b> (<i>23 Apr 1866</i>; William Breed). <br />
St. Luke Middx. to Maulden. Wm. Breed. In <b>1809</b>, then unmarried and childless, hired as a yearly servant by Mr Pennefather of <span class="search_result_highlight">Maulden Mill</span> at 3½gns. Served 1yr. Mich to Mich. (Mr Pennyfather was Charles' father-in-law.)<br />
<br />
<b>1822-28</b> licensing documents give us Charles Hallworth as miller of Maulden.<br />
<br />
The <b>1847 </b>trade directory lists Charles Hallworth as the Miller at Maulden Water End.<br />
<br />
<b>1851 </b>census - Charles Hallworth (66, born Pulloxhill) at Mill House, Maulden. He is described as a Miller and farmer of 40 acres (employing 3 men). <br />
Next to them (in Mill Lane) is still Thomas Hallworth, farmer of 30 acres.<br />
<br />
His will tells us Charles Senior was a miller of Maulden who died on 8/12/<b>1853</b>.</blockquote><blockquote><div>By the census of <b>1881</b>, the cornmiller there was Arthur Charles Hallworth (Miller & Farmer, 24, unmarried, with his unmarried sister Hannah, 40 and 2 nieces by name of Daniels (8 & 4)). The Trade Directory (later in 1881) gives us the name of Arthur C. Hallworth for the Miller in Maulden Water End.</div><div></div><div>Arthur's Uncles George & Isaac Hallworth were at Hall End, Maulden in 1881. They worked as cornmillers, too. (Aged 60 & 49, both unmarried.) I can't yet find a death record for Isaac or George.</div></blockquote>In the 1891 Census of Maulden, George & Isaac continue to live together at Hall End, now also with a Chandler nephew (William, aged 45, a Gardener). Only Isaac is now given as a Miller, George presumably has retired. Were there two mills, or did Isaac work for A.C. Hallworth at Maulden Mill?<br />
<br />
<blockquote><div>A rough match for the death of Arthur Charles Hallworth in the St.Albans district, aged 57 in the year 1917.</div></blockquote><br />
<br />
So, the problem now lies in being sure how many contemporary mills there were in Maulden:<br />
<br />
The presence of a Mill at Maulden was noted even as far back as the <a href="http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~engbdf/maulden.html">Doomsday Book</a>.<br />
<br />
Letter held in the Beds Archives (R3/3721 <i>4 March <b>1832</b></i>), from the Duke of Bedford's steward - discusses various issues to do with land ownership in the area. Ends with:<br />
"There are 4 mills within 3 miles of Maulden mill - best not to think of rebuilding it; miller's carelessness in flooding meadows."<br />
<br />
Maulden on <a href="http://images.francisfrith.com/townmaps/600/HOSM53344.jpg" id="ub2h" title="this map">this map</a> from 1882 - Water End clearly visible in SE corner - also Maulden Mill marked. <br />
The British History Online site has a very useful map section where I found a very clear 1892 map of the area of Maulden Mill, and also the Dog & Badger in the North (linked <a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55106&sheetid=641&zm=2&x=357&y=211&ox=357&oy=2249" id="kpuw" title="here">here</a>, and you can also see the modern OS map of the same area - you'll spot the modern fisheries complex, <a href="http://www.waterendfisheries.co.uk/">Water End Fisheries</a>). <br />

<br />
Further info from the (published 1912) History of the County of Bedford (<a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/Default.aspx" id="bhnu" title="British History Online">British History Online</a>), where the <a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42437&strquery=" id="ciq5" title="chapter on Maulden">chapter on Maulden</a> describes two mills; "The mill stands on the banks of a branch of the River Ivel below Hall End , and there was formerly another at Breach, pulled down within recent years". The first mill described is the Maulden mill shown in the map <b>above.</b> The River Ivel is on the current-day map, but we only see the River Flit near the mill. The other mill 'at Breach' is in the area shown on the map <a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55106&sheetid=638&ox=3076&oy=1062&zm=2&czm=2&x=524&y=405" id="pt8a" title="here">here</a>, it's now called Brache.<br />
<br />
By <b>1890</b>, the Kelly's trade dir gives us a James Norman as the miller in Maulden - it's a steam-driven flour & corn mill. No others Maulden Mills are mentioned then in that text.<br />
<br />
<b>Images of Maulden Mill </b><br />
BLARS holds a collection of glass slides or gelatine prints from the period c 1905-1920 - taken by a local photographer & rescued from a skip! Several seem to show Maulden Mill.<br />
First we have here (BLARS ref X291/77/430) a glass slide image of Maulden Mill, which appears to show two women at the door:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC5V_8w7Dq36PDFrEFElWH1g8_eussI7TxbjtZv9ueXxZ8Lal-jlTu6ETySnmJ68C3ckX0JbuXxUSJbmhM7WwvgXOWjzvt1KEE9m894v03JJNYeXwmNV9t8GGxznVfURo0Q0MrOzLey5oH/s1600/Maulden+Mill,+glass+slide,+positive+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC5V_8w7Dq36PDFrEFElWH1g8_eussI7TxbjtZv9ueXxZ8Lal-jlTu6ETySnmJ68C3ckX0JbuXxUSJbmhM7WwvgXOWjzvt1KEE9m894v03JJNYeXwmNV9t8GGxznVfURo0Q0MrOzLey5oH/s320/Maulden+Mill,+glass+slide,+positive+copy.jpg" /></a></div>Sadly, I have that one reversed left-to-right! I have now seen a selection of these images reproduced beautifully in a collection named <a href="http://www.ampthillimages.com/">AmpthillImages.com</a>, but I can't give you a direct link to the Maulden Mill photos. Look for AROUND & ABOUT, then look in the list of towns for Maulden. On the first page you'll see thumbnails of the Maulden Mill photos, taken ~1900.<br />
<br />
Another (BLARS ref X291/77/432b) beautifully clear photograph from that collection shows the mill race, Maulden, which looks very solid:<br />

<br />
The BLARS collection has a very bonny notebook (BLARS ref SF39/119, coded valuation notebook, from <b>1882</b>) which seems to suggest the Maulden Mill/Farm is changing hands - passing from A.C. Hallworth to Samuel Brightman, according to the cover. See below for more on these names.<br />

This notebook seems to contain valuations of the cultivated fields - assessments have to be made of crops in ground, hay stacks etc. He passed on the notebook when he passed on the tenancy?<br />
It strikes me as strange that there's no date for each action. I'd have thought he'd want a record of which week he'd ploughed a field, or sown the seed. The numbers on the left will be acres, roods, poles, perches etc. The other columns on the right?? It seems to be in code!<br />
<br />
The date is November 1882 - but normally a farm tenancy would change hands around September, at Michaelmas. <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">{Thanks, Barbara's Dad for the expert help there - keeping it in the family!}</span></i><br />
<br />
As to the crops - I can read Cauliflower, White Turnip, & Mustard. Amazing how much history can be seen in these little domestic details, like the earlier poster for the Household effects.<br />
<br />
<b>Who were they?</b><br />
A.C. Hallworth? Thomas (eldest son of Charles) had a son named Arthur Charles, born 1857. He was the Miller living there at the time of the census of 1881.<br />
Samuel Brightman? Barbara has a theory about who he may be. "Leonard Palmer married Eliza Brightman in 1890. Her father was Samuel Brightman, born 1822, who was a Market Gardener in the 1881 census at Hall End, and at Water End in 1891 census."<br />
Additionally, she tells me about this line in the Bedfordshire Times, Sat. Aug. 23rd 1890:- "On Wednesday the 13th Miss Eliza Brightman, daughter of Mr. Samuel Brightman of the Mill Farm, Water End, married Mr. Leonard Palmer, farmer, of Water End." <br />
<br />
Then at the far end of the archives, in 1911, we see a catalogue of sale of the Duke's lands - Maulden Mill was described as "<span class="search_result_highlight">Maulden Mill</span> Farm, including disused <span class="search_result_highlight">Mill</span> and comprising 38a 1r 38p"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Next, the Mill at Ampthill:</b><br />
In the 1861 census our John Hallworth (25) & family were recorded as living at the Little Mill House, Ampthill. Was it part of Little Park?<br />
Or was it the Doo-little Mill?? This is at Steppingley Rd, Ampthill, which is now a small business park. No sign of any watercourses in the area, so presumably this was a windmill?<br />
A photograph on this site (<a href="http://www.ampthillimages.com/">AmpthillImages.com</a>) shows us Doolittle Mill in ~1900. Look for AMPTHILL photos, then look in the list of subjects for Buildings, choose D and on the first line you'll see a thumbnail of the Mill photo.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Grange Mill near Heath & Reach:</b><br />
John Hallworth & family also had a short stint at the Grange Mill, Heath & Reach. He was present for the 1871 census, but other men are recorded as miller there for the years 1862 & 1876.<br />
{You can view the 1864 Trade Directory for Heath & Reach: <a href="http://www.leighton-linslade.com/directories/1864po_handr.html">here</a>.}<br />
<br />
The 1862 directory of Heath & Reach shows us only one miller in the town - A. Roades, Farmer & Miller. He was also there for the 1861 Census (which told us he was born in 1842). In <a href="http://www.leighton-linslade.com/directories/1864po_handr.html">1864</a>, the miller was a Thomas Holmes.<br />
In the 1876 directory, William Edwin was the miller. Was our John an assistant miller, or did his time as miller fit in between Roades & Edwin?<br />
The lack of any other Millers in the pages of the 1871 Census suggest to me that John was the Miller on his own.<br />
The births of Eliza & John's children provide a few clues. Our Charles, their son, was born in Ampthill in 1864. Their next children, however, were all born in Heath & Reach until the birth of Philip in Swallowfield, in ~1875. So certainly they were at Grange Mill from 1868 (possibly 1866 if Jessie is theirs!) until 1873.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Kelly's Historical directory also tells us that Heath & Reach was the source of some of the sand used to make the glass for Crystal Palace, for 1851.</blockquote><br />
The Bedfordshire Archive (BLARS) have a huge online resource folder about Heath & Reach - it includes a page collecting the <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/CommunityArchives/HeathandReach/HeathAndReachMaps.aspx" id="z5mr" title="old maps">old maps</a>, of which <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/CommunityArchives/HeathandReach/HReachimages/Nares%20Gladley%20and%20Grange%20Mill%20in%201901.jpg#Nares%20Gladley%20and%20Grange%20Mill%20in%201901" id="f0kh" title="this one">this one</a> from 1901 (25" scale) clearly shows Grange Mill as a <b>watermill</b>.

This <a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/153886">Geograph page</a> tells us that "At Old Linslade, the original course of River Ouzel is reduced to little more than a stream, with much of the river's flow being diverted to feed Grange Mill to the north".<br />

Heath & Reach was a town of 1000 souls in the year 1871.<br />
<br />
There was also a windmill at Heath & Reach - run by Holmes in 1890, and another windmill at Heath & Reach - run by Bates in 1890 (see Council Archive piece <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/CommunityArchives/HeathandReach/GrangeMillHeathAndReach.aspx" id="e.w:" title="here">here</a>).Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18443751717172888793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669189542232454406.post-62731018725311706052009-01-14T09:00:00.033+00:002010-09-08T15:04:58.682+01:00Hallworth Elders & various ArchivesA miscellaneous selection of various information about the Hallworths in Bedfordshire.

<b>The Bedfordshire Archives</b> <br />

<b>Military Records</b><br />
I have seen these Hallworths named on War Memorials in Bedfordshire: <br />
<ul><li>Private J. Hallworth of the 4th King's Royal Rifles, who died in the Boer War (1899-1902). He was named on the Bedfordshire Boer War Memorial in Bedford, see <a href="http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Bedfordshire/BedfordBoerWarMemorial.html">this site</a> for photos of that memorial and <a href="http://www.angloboerwar.com/units%20imperial/krrc.htm">this site</a> for more info on the 4th Battalion, which includes photos showing the regimental standard Moustache. Additionally, there is <a href="http://www.britishmedals.us/kevin/impyeomanryl.html">a record of a Pte John Hallworth</a> (23492 of the 3rd Batt, 109th Company) in the Imperial Yeomanry, who received the QSA medal.</li>
</ul>And finally, the Times Archives gives us the following details about a Hallworth soldier:-<br />
<ul><li>On 19/2/1901, Pte Hallworth (2491) of the 2nd Grenadier Guards was reported dangerously ill (with heart disease) - he was at Ladysmith; date of report was Feb 16th {area of birth not given}.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<div>Details here from their Online archives for Flitton area/Bedfordshire, {and also available in full at <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/advanced-search.aspx?searchType=a">The National Archives site</a>} but don't forget they aren't necessarily our folks! As I am able to place each entry, I copy it to another page where it will make more sense:</div><ul><li>Detailed schedule of auction in 1831 of landowned by Morris & Company (Ampthill) Limited - lists <span style="font-weight: bold;">Phillip Hallworth</span> as tenant of two parcels of land in Maulden.</li>
<li>Details on a character reference {BLARS ref GK281/4} to a piece of Ampthill land in occupation of Chas. Hallworth; 1849; Church St., Ampthill.</li>
</ul><ul></ul><br />
<br />
References to Mr. Hallworth in these papers on Ampthill area, 1846:<br />
<ul><li>Letter of 1846 from the Estate Steward - "This letter refers to the keeping of fowls and pigs by cottagers. It comments that the keeping of fowls is often a source of ill feeling amonst neighbours since poor people have not proper places to keep them in and "they breed vermin and filth". Suggests also that, where the keeping of pigs is permitted the pigsties "shall be placed in their gardens and not close under their noses". Proposes a blank space on tenancy agreements so that a clause can be inserted giving permission as appropriate.<br />
Mentions that there are two fairs in Ampthill each year, May 4th and November 30th for the sale of sheep, cattle etc. The tolls for the market and fairs, stalleage etc is let to <span class="search_result_highlight" style="font-weight: bold;">Hallworth</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>and, with 2 acres of land, produces £30 per year. An application has been made for an additional fair per year and Mr Bennett proposes to find out further information. The letter discusses in detail the question of payment of toll.<br />
He outlines various payments which have been made."</li>
<li>Further letter of May 5th, 1846 refers to "Hallworth, the tenant of Moor Pond Close {Ampthill?}, the site of the sheep fair".</li>
</ul><blockquote>Text quoted here: "<b></b>More information regarding the request for an additional fair at Ampthill. Mr Bennett has found out that the toll is 2 pence for each head of cattle or horses and 4 pence a score for sheep. Mr Bennett has learnt from Swaffield that there was a good deal of trouble over the payment of tolls a few years earlier; an expensive trial to all parties arose out of it and Leighton Buzzard. Mr Bennett advises that it would be best to inform the "memorialists" that the Duke has not the power to grant a fair to be held legally in the usual place but, with the consent of <span class="search_result_highlight" style="font-weight: bold;">Hallworth</span>, the tenant of Moor Pond Close, the site of the sheep fair, his Grace would have no objection to their holding a market for cattle in the close on their paying an acknowledgement to <span class="search_result_highlight">Hallworth</span> for the use of the close for that purpose. He thinks it would satisfy them and not bring into question the tolls at the usual fairs."<br />
{<span style="font-style: italic;">ref there to </span>Memorialists:<span style="font-style: italic;"> not</span> <a href="http://www.oxforddnb.com/public/themes/96/96544.html">these </a><span style="font-style: italic;">folks, so then what does it mean?</span>}</blockquote><ul></ul><br />
<br />
Details about a John Hallworth in the Wilstead area:<br />
<ul><li>reference to John Hallworth as a tenant of cottage and farmlands on Wilstead estate (in auctioneers catalogue as landowner has died), 1875. {Wilstead is also known as Wilhamstead and in between Ampthill & Bedford.}</li>
<li>A reference in the records of the Quarter Sessions for Bedfordshire, 1893: "Mortgage: £2000 from F.J.Galpin, auctioneer, to Jn. Hallworth of Wilstead, corn dealer. 1893"</li>
<li>There are notes in a <a href="http://www.wilsteadbook.freeuk.com/">local history book</a>, "Wilhamstead, homestead of friends" about two corn merchants, George & Jonathon Hallworth. Also notes about a churchwarden named George Hallworth in 1890's Wilstead.</li>
<li>I have seen George Hallworth in the 1881 Census living with his parents (Johnathon & Maria Hallworth a farmer of 50 acres, aged 60) on Village St., near the church, Wilstead. His trade is given as a Farmer's Son, aged 38.</li>
<li>Letters within the Gambriel family are archived - a 1915 letter (<a href="http://apps.bedscc.gov.uk/bedsccis3/detail.aspx?parentpriref=110202924">Z1270/2/18</a>) from a wounded soldier to his mother mentioned Old George Hallworth & his harvest.</li>
</ul><br />
A will from the period ~1780 mentions a farm named Wroxhill Farm which has as tenant one <span style="font-weight: bold;">Jas. Hallworth</span>. {James? ref BC367} Following that, a 1796 document describes a "messuage in Wroxhill, <a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SP9941">Marston Moretaine</a>, formerly in occupation of Nicholas Price, deceased, late of James <span class="search_result_highlight">Hallworth</span>, deceased, but now of William Bartram"<br />
<br />
<br />
Some notes about the butcher Charles Hallworth, for example - <a href="http://apps.bedscc.gov.uk/bedsccis3/detail.aspx?parentpriref=110043195">papers from 1849</a>. Was he perhaps the son of Charles Hallworth (1826-1880)?<br />
<br />
Records from the Marston Moretaine area (1858) tells us about "David Hallsworth son of William Hallsworth. Aged 14 years on the 7th April 1858 apprenticed to George Whitbread of Roade, Northamptonshire, shoemaker until the age of 21 years."<br />
<br />
<br />
An intriguing reference from an Architect's archive in a notebook, "Mr. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Charles </span><span class="search_result_highlight" style="font-weight: bold;">Hallworth</span>, Pulloxhill", from the period 1877-1880 {ref ST/U 2/1}<br />
<br />
Marriage licence for Alfred Hallworth of St.Mary, Islington, Middlesex, and Emma Hallworth of Pulloxhill, dated 8/7/1867.<br />
<br />
<br />
Marriage licence for Charles Hallworth of Pulloxhill and Louisa Sharp of Pulloxhill, dated 24 Dec 1878. {BLARS ref P13/1/23i}<br />
<br />
Marriage entry in the <a href="http://www.mkheritage.co.uk/wsc/docs/marr1900-1915.html">Woburn Sands records</a> for 1910 - shows Elizabeth Hallworth (father Philip Hallworth, farmer) marries a farmer, William Newman from Wilhampstead. She was 29. Don't know of any Philips who would be the right age here.<br />
<br />
An oral history project on pre-war Shillington includes one set of memories of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eric </span><span class="search_result_highlight" style="font-weight: bold;">Hallworth</span> born in Shillington in 1910. {pp 62-71, ref CR/OH 1/5 from the years 1920 - 1939}<br />
<br />
Halworth Farm at Wingfield (tween Toddington & Dunstable) - was occupied by Mr E. Gurney up till 1902 when it was auctioned off. <i>(Notice of the auction in BLARS)</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Coming right up to date, there's 2 little notes about a Miller in 1950 - but sorry it's not available online yet. From the Bedfordshire Archives.<br />
"Photograph of <span style="font-weight: bold;">E. Hallworth</span>, Miller, Duck Mill, Bedford. 1950 <b>Z 50/141/228</b>"<br />
"Photograph of Duck Mill, Bedford, 1950; with Miller, Mr. E. Hallworth handling corn. Old mill stone in foreground. <b>Z 50/12/70</b> "<br />

<br />
A <a href="http://apps.bedscc.gov.uk/bedsccis3/detail.aspx?parentpriref=110043198">wedding photo</a> from Shillington 1957 - the bride was Eileen Hallworth of Shillington.<br />
<br />
A <a href="http://apps.bedscc.gov.uk/bedsccis3/detail.aspx?parentpriref=110043198">strange reference</a> to a modern photo of Hallworth House. It seems to be a residential home. No clues yet as to how it came by the name.<br />
<br />
*****<br />
<br />
Next I have simply pasted in a pretty random mixture of records, mainly from Census returns. I haven't yet done any further work on this - it's just for your information.<br />
Some of these could be directly related to John, Charles & Harry Hallworth, but then again they could be no relation at all. Don't say I didn't warn you!!<br />
<br />
<br />
In the 1881 Census there are also Hallworths living in Shillington (East of Ampthill), BEDS.<br />
Also Hallworths in Pulloxhill, Beds in the 1881 Census: at the Public House, Pulloxhill -<br />
Charles Hallworth (24, a Coal & Sand Merchant, born Pulloxhill) and wife Louisa (24, born Flitwick) with 2 young children; Frederick Charles (born Lincoln) and Alice Maria (born Pulloxhill); and a young servant girl.<br />
<br />
In the Melville's <a href="http://www.galaxy.bedfordshire.gov.uk/webingres/bedfordshire/vlib/0.digitised_resources/ampthill_melvilles_directory.htm">Directory of Ampthill</a>, 1867 (rather like our Yellow Pages), a Hallworth is found listed as a Butcher, in the Market place, Ampthill. Probably Charles Hallworth. More details like this are now transcribed in a separate post.<br />
<br />
A lady who alleged she was the niece of General George Washington, Lydia Hallworth is buried at Cranfield, BEDS - she died aged 83 in 1863. The indirect link to our family is known.<br />
<br />
In the 1851 census of Ampthill, Elizabeth Hallworth, (35, born Pulloxhill, Beds; Unmarried) was living with her brother Charles Hallworth (44, married, not widowed, born Pulloxhill; a butcher) in Church St., Ampthill. Also in the house are Charles' 6-year-old daughter, Ann; a servant girl; and a Jouneyman Butcher (lodger).<br />
<br />
In the 1841 Census, there are two Charles Hallworths (one aged 15 and one aged 55), both born Bedfordshire.<br />
<br />
In the 1851 census, at the Dog & Badger Inn, Maulden we see a Jonathan Hallworth (29, born St. Albans, Herts.) who is a Victualler & Market Gardener (having 12 acres, & 3 Labourers). His wife is Marria (32, born Maulden) and they have 2 young sons (George & Phillip) and a servant.<br />
Next door is Widow & retired Victualler, Sarah Hallworth of Barton in the Clay, Beds<br />
<br />
Living in Pulloxhill, 1871 census, Charles Hallworth (43 {so born ~1828}, Farmer, born Malden, BEDS) and wife Martha A. (50, born Biggleswade Beds) and son Charles (15, born Pulloxhill).<br />
Living in Pulloxhill, 1901 census, Widow Martha Ann Hallworth (84) lives with her unmarried daughters May & Maria (dressmakers).<br />
<br />
Living in Church St., Ampthill, 1871 Census, an unmarried Elizabeth Hallworth (55, born Pulloxhill) lives in the house of Butcher Mr. Brightman & family as a servant, her occupation is as Accountant. {rather unusual for those days!?}<br />
<br />
<br />
Living in Pulloxhill, 1871 census, Samuel Hallworth (51, Wheelwright & Blacksmith) and Elizabeth (41, born Silsoe, Beds; a Bonnet and Hat sewer) with son Francis (J or T) Hallworth (18, wheelwright) and daughter Elizabeth (6). Also a lodger. {In 1901 they are still there, Samuel (82; Wheelwright, and some suggestion that he is also a Publican {tho' that may be the person next to him on the list!!}) Elizabeth (70), Frank T. (48; Wheelwright) and William (30; Agricultural Labourer)}<br />
<br />
<br />
A Bedfordshire man (born Marston around 1801) named David Hallworth had moved away to Derbyshire, and lived there in the year 1861, having settled there with a family and working as a farm labourer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also a more recent <a href="http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/34516/pages/3602">notice in the London Gazette</a> about a will for Martha Hallworth who died in 1938. She was a spinster and had lived at Wood End, Marston, Beds. It surely can't be the Martha Hallworth who was Philip's sister? She would have been over 100? The notice also mentions (executor?) Edgar Hallworth, Miller of New Harrowden, BEDS.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18443751717172888793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669189542232454406.post-61822145901511771782009-01-14T09:00:00.032+00:002010-06-22T20:22:45.153+01:00Mentions of Hallworths in the Trade Directories of BedfordshireA site linked <a href="http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/index.asp">here </a>is a useful online source to find ancestors in many local Directories (ye Olde Yellow Pages) from the 1800's.

He moved with them to Heath & Reach, Swallowfield, and then to Folly Farm, Wokingham - certainly he was living there at the age of 16 (1881).<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Where did our Charles go to work after 1881?</b><br />
<br />
<b>...Charles was a Coachman</b><br />
The Census of <b>1891 </b>shows a Charles Hallworth (27, born Amphill {sic}, BEDS); working as a Coachman, living alone in rooms over the Coach House in Chepstow, Wales. Note he is still single.<br />
The employers were presumably Mr & Mrs Smith of Mount House, Chepstow.<br />
<br />
Mount House was used for many different purposes over the 20th C., and was developed from Autumn 2008 to become many residential properties. This page has been set up by an Archeology group - <a href="http://www.archenfield.com/Chepstow%20The%20Mount.htm">about Mount House, Chepstow</a> - as it was before the developers' work. Some fascinating photos, and also information that Mrs. Smith also owned the tiny parish of St. Kingsmark, in the north of Chepstow. (See <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Efamilyalbum/kstarvns.htm">this contemporary directory</a> for more on St. Kingsmark.) The lovely Chepstow Castle is just nearby on the riverbank.<br />
<br />
The old developers' marketing page can perhaps still be viewed <a href="http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/new-homes/property-21761861.html?pageNumber=1&backToListURL=%2Fproperty-for-sale%2Ffind%2FMonmouthshire%2FDevauden.html%3FlocationIdentifier%3DREGION%255E8148&locationIdentifier=REGION%5E8148&radius=0.0">here</a>, it mentions a coach house and is described as "formerly a Merchant's residence" (in the 1891 census, Mr. Smith Esq. 's occupation was Wine Merchant)! The flats in the main Mount House will have the benefit of wine cellars in the basement.<br />
More up-to-date marketing by the Bovale group can be viewed <a href="http://www.themountchepstow.co.uk/index.htm">here</a>; lots of great photos. Also <a href="http://www.bovale.co.uk/news_celebration.html">a page about the re-opening</a> in 2009- a grand event, it seems. Spot the cake in the shape of Mount House!<br />

<b>In 1901...A coachman and family man</b><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">A Transcription of the 1901 Census for Charles Hallworth</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">, Co. Durham:</span><br />
Address: White Houses, Sockburn. (Sockburn All Saints, S.E. Durham)<br />
No. of rooms occupied: 4<br />
<br />
Charles Hallworth, aged 36, born Hamptill {<i>sic - not in current gazeteer</i>}, Bedfordshire; a Coachman (Domestic)<br />
Kate C. Hallworth (Wife), aged 34, born London, St. Lukes<br />
and their children, all born in the Yorkshire village of <a href="http://www.joinermarriageindex.com/pjoiner/genuki/DUR/Dinsdale/index.html">Over Dinsdale</a> (actually it is right on the border with Co. Durham):<br />

Charles G., (3);<br />
William H., {our <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/hallworth-beginnings.html">Harry</a>} (1).<br />
<br />
More on White Houses in a <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/11/sockburn-hall.html">later posting</a> (or you could just keep scrolling down if you are looking thru all the Hallworth Posts).<br />
But in essence, it seems to make sense that Charles was coachman at the nearby <a href="http://sockburn.blogspot.com/">Sockburn Hall</a>.<br />
<br />
SO – Harry's father, Charles Hallworth was born in approximately 1865 <i>{precisely 1864, actually; Thanks Peter}</i>. He is remembered for a fondness for the horses on which his trade relied (at that time!).<br />
<br />
There was some confusion, as another son was remembered - "Uncle George". At first I simply presumed that George was younger than William - as he does not appear on this census, and that is how he was remembered.<br />
More recently, however, in the birth registry details I saw that one of William's older brothers was named Charles <i>George</i> Hallworth. As it seems unlikely that two sons would both have the name George, we now have it straight.<br />
*** Latest*** Peter has been in touch - he is a descendant of Charles George Hallworth & confirms that he was the brother known as George.<br />
Phew.<br />
<br />
We know that George remained in the area, and that there are certainly descendants around from both George and Florence - if you think you may be one of them then please do leave a comment on this site, or visit the guestbook!!<br />
<br />
More details are available on where Charles was working by 1911. See <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/03/hallworths-in-1911.html">this other post</a>.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18443751717172888793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669189542232454406.post-12256592642172253852009-01-13T09:00:00.002+00:002010-06-30T13:41:12.829+01:00Kate Shackleford - Senior and JuniorI know from the 1901 Census return mentioned in "Beginnings" that Harry's Mother was Kate, who was born in Middlesex, c.1867. Having spotted a possibility for Kate & Charles' marriage, (in Essex, West Ham, 1893 - we know the bride's maiden name was Shackleford), I searched earlier censuses for a Kate Shackleford.<br />
<a name='more'></a>This guess from the records has since been confirmed by the marriage certificate {Many Thanks to both Peter and Clive - full details appear elsewhere.}<br />
<br />
Results from earlier census:<br />
<div>1891 - Kate C. Shackleford is one of two Domestic servants in the household of a Solicitor (Frances Greeney) of Forest Gate, West Ham. It's recorded that she was born in London, St. Lukes', in ~1867, and she is single.</div><br />
<div>Back to 1881 - Her father is listed as <i>Thomas</i> A. {or it could be G.} Shackleford (39) - born Reading, a Smith & Iron plate worker. His wife is Sarah, (39), born Reading. All the 7 children (Kate the eldest at 14, Ellen, twins Charlotte & George, Alfred, Elizabeth and baby Ann) were born Middlesex.</div>They live at 19 Bertram St., Kentish Town (which had 3 households in it).<br />
<br />
<div>Back to 1871, <i>Frederick</i> J. Shackleford, Iron Plater - born Reading (33 or 23, not clear) and wife Sarah (28), daurs Kate (4) & Ellen (2). Also his younger brother, Boiler Maker Edward Shackleford.</div><br />
{Wierd. It has to be said, the 1871 form is <span style="font-style: italic;">very </span>hard to read - but it does say Frederick, and the 1881 form does say Thomas. The forms we see now have been copied out by the enumerator from the original household forms, so we have to presume it was a Friday afternoon by the time he or she got to that form.<br />
<br />
<div>Peter has sent me a copy of the marriage certificate for Frederick George Shackleford and Sarah Lukeman in Reading. (None are recorded in the registers for a Thomas & Sarah.) On 2nd October, 1864 - Marriage of Frederick George Shackleford (Occupation; Tinman) & Sarah Lukeman at St. Giles, Reading. Both were residents of Reading at the time, and both are aged 22 yrs old.<br />
Their fathers are named: George Shackleford (Tinman) and James Lukeman (Labourer).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Cousin Clive has confirmed the details set out below, on Kate Shackleford's parents. (Peter introduced me to Clive - more on him below. He has been very generous in providing details of his research for us to share.)<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Kate Charlotte Shackleford</span> born 15/1/1867, St. Luke's, Middlesex.<br />
Died in Darlington, 1953.<br />
<br />
Mother Sarah Lukeman, born 1842 St. Giles, Reading. Died Greenwich, 1915.<br />
Father Frederick George Shackleford, born 1842 Reading; Iron Plate worker. Died 1928 Reading. {quite an age!}<br />
<br />
<br />
Further to this, Peter passed on a copy of Fred's birth certificate. That gives his father's name, but also his Mother - Charlotte Shackleford. Her maiden name was Liman (well, that's what it looks like to me!)<br />
Frederick George was born on Oct 20th, 1842 at Chatham St, Reading (St. Mary's).<br />
<br />
I looked up a marriage on <span style="font-style: italic;">FreeBMD</span> between George Shackleford & Charlotte Liman, and found one in the last quarter of 1837, in the Bradfield district which is West of Reading {Vol 6, p.239}.<br />
<br />
And then finally, a copy of Sarah's birth certificate.<br />
This reveals that her mother was named Eliza Lukeman, formerly Withers. Sarah was born on 12th May, 1842, at a cottage in Spring Gardens, Reading (St. Giles').<br />
Her father, James Lukeman, is again described as a Labourer.<br />
<br />
I looked up a marriage on <span style="font-style: italic;">FreeBMD</span> between James Lukeman & Eliza Withers, and found one in the Sept quarter of 1841, in the Reading district {Vol 6, p.334}. James Lukeman is possibly the man who died in 1880 in the Reading district, aged 61. That same list tells us that some men named James Lukeman died in the Reading district in the years 1841 & 1843, too. Also Eliza Lukeman who died in 1843 (Reading).<br />
<br />
That's great, Peter! I haven't updated the family tree at the bottom of the page yet, but I will. Then all will be clear.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Back to Kate</span><br />
We know from their marriage certificate (8th June 1893) that Charles Hallworth married Kate Charlotte Shackleford in the Parish Church of All Saint's, Forest Gate, Essex. Charles was a 28 year-old Coachman, living in Dinsdale, Yorkshire. Kate was a 26 year-old, living in Manor Park (area of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Gate">Forest Gate</a>, now Newham).<br />
Their fathers are given as a Baker and a General Smith, respectively.<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div><b>Kate's first child, Kate Junior<br />
</b></div>Kate had a daughter Kate May, born 11th May 1888 at 19, Whitepost Lane in Little Ilford, (East Ham) Essex. (An extensive page <a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42766">here </a>about the area - search for the words "White Post".) Clive has shared with us a copy of her Birth Certificate, which gives her father's name as Charles Hallsworth <span style="font-style: italic;">{sic} </span>(a Gentleman's Coachman), and her mother's name as Kate Charlotte Hallsworth (formerly Shackleford).<br />
We know that Kate C. Shackleford and Charles Hallworth married long after this in 1893, however. On the birth certificate, the column 'Name of Father' could (and often was) easily have been left blank, so it's nice to see that it was not in this case. As Clive puts it, this shows us that Charles was "entirely committed to" marrying Kate. She would, perhaps, have been thought of as his commonlaw wife at the time of Kate May's birth. (It was commonly felt that those In Service ought not to be married.)<br />
<div><br />
In <span style="font-weight: bold;">1891</span>, Kate Junior (aged 2, born Essex) is listed as the <i>daughter</i> of her grandparents Fred & Sarah Shackleford, living in Little Ilford. Also in the house are their children George, Alfred, Henry, John and Annie.<br />
It was fairly common to bring children up in houses other than their parents' house. Kate's mother was In Service in another town. Also in this particular case, they may have referred to Kate as their daughter to avoid any awkwardness, as she was born before her parents got married. Alternatively, one of the census scripts could very easily have a mistake in it!<br />
<br />
Her father (we have seen elsewhere in this blog) has been found in the 1891 census working at a house in Chepstow, whilst her mother was a Domestic in the West Ham area. It is interesting to note that both are described as Single in the census returns. At the time of Kate's marriage (1893), Charles is working at Sockburn, we can presume.<br />
<br />
At some time before the birth of their second child, Lilian, both Kate and Charles have moved up to the Yorkshire/Durham border and settled there, with Charles certainly working at Sockburn Hall in the year 1901. Family history has it that Kate Charlotte also worked at Sockburn Hall for a while, as a cook. Their four other children are all listed as born in Over Dinsdale. Kate May, however, remained in Essex/Greenwich to be brought up by her grandparents with their other children, who were more her own age. Younger generations descended from the Over Dinsdale children seem to have not met Kate, although there certainly was a visit early on...</div><blockquote>Clive:<br />
"I suspect that the family- Charles, Kate Charlotte, and their four children following their marriage rarely saw my Grandmother, Kate, who lived with the Shacklefords. The others were 'Up North'. I know from my aunt (who is still alive) that she and my mother with their mother {Kate May} visited the Hallworths in Stokesley at least once, probably in the late 1920’s."</blockquote>The visit - we thought at first - may have been for the 1923 wedding of Charles's son (Charles George Hallworth) to Elsie Porrit. George's grandson Peter has kindly allowed a photo of that wedding to be put up on this blog (it appears in his book, 'The Stokesley Scene Collection'). (See <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/11/cousin-peter.html">this post</a> for photo.) Sadly we now know {thanks to the memories of a contemporary} that the lady in the photo we wrongly assumed to be Kate Junior was in fact a friend of the bride. Kate perhaps was unable to travel to the wedding, as their son George was born soon afterwards (August 1923).<br />
<br />
<br />
According to the National Census, Kate May (aged 12) was living in <b>1901</b> (at 10, Albion Hill, Greenwich) with her grandparents, Fred George Shackleford (58, 'Smith worker in Iron', born Reading) and Sarah Shackleford (58, born Reading). Here in 1901, she is described as the grand-daughter of the Head of Household, but still entered with the name Shackleford.<br />
Also with their other bairns, Annie (20; dressmaker), Henry (18, also a Smith) and Walter (13).<br />
<div></div><br />
In <span style="font-weight: bold;">1911</span>, the 22 yr-old Kate May was been entered on the Census data as living at 10, Albion Mill or Hill in Lewisham (where there is now an Albion Way... or according to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/2919298081/">this page</a>, Albion Hill became Coldbath St).<br />
She was living with Sarah & Frederick George Shackleford, a General Smith at (?) Constructive Iron Works. Here's a link to a Google Map which will show you both Coldbath St (ex-Albion Hill) and Pomeroy St where the Hatcham Iron Works were sited - now you can seen their engines on the Ffestiniog Railway, North Wales. Was this where Fred worked? - though by then it would have been the <a href="http://www.frheritage.org.uk/wiki/England_Engines">Fairlie Works</a>. Alternatively, it may be that he worked at the J. Stone and Company Limited, Arklow Road, Childers Street, Rolt Street, Lewisham (Brass, Copper and Iron Works) - which I read of in the London Metropolitan <a href="http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/LGNL_Services/Leisure_and_culture/Records_and_archives/">Archives</a>.<br />
You can read a little about Lewisham (and some pictures, too) - <a href="http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/lewisham/main/index.html">here</a>.<br />
Walter was in the same area, but not in the same household. This time she is given the name Kate Hallworth, and was listed as Fred's grandaughter.<br />
The form gives extra details about her grandparents, who were then aged 68. They had been married in 1911 for 46 years, and had 12 children (of whom 3 had died by 1911). We know of Kate, and also George, Alfred, Henry (twice?), John, Annie and Walter from the census.<br />
<br />
Here's a pretty photograph of the young Kate, taken when she became engaged. Clive thinks that she is "wearing her formal office outfit". Thanks for sending, it, Clive!<br />

He worked at that profession all through the First World War despite various attempts to “join up” in the army. Kate had worked with him in an office (possibly as his secretary). They married in 1914 and had four children: 3 girls & a boy.<br />
<br />
As Clive says, they did not stay in one place in their lives.<br />
"Sid’s family came from Bath and lived in Greenwich at the time of their marriage. Kate had been born in Little Ilford. Their first daughter was born in Coventry, and they moved around after that. Twenty years later, they were living in Ilford and at the outbreak of World War II they were living in Hayes, Middlesex. Their moves during those years were largely determined by Sid’s work. They retired to Melbourne, Australia with their eldest daughter, but Kate found it too hot and so they returned after 3 years, settling instead in Sompting near Worthing on the south coast.<br />
<br />
Kate May was a widow for many years, since Sidney died in 1969. She died at the grand age of 104 years and 9 months, in 1992.<br />

<br />
In fact, two of Kate's daughter's emigrated to Australia, and it is from her grandson Clive (in Australia) that I have found out much of this information I share with you today. He maintains an interest in genealogy through the computer records which are available online, and I got in touch with him thanks to Genes Reunited and Peter Hallworth. Thanks again to Clive for all his help with this material on his mother.<br />

In 1901, the 36-year-old Charles Hallworth had moved from Chepstow to Sockburn, and was living at "White Houses" with his wife Kate & 4 young children. He was working as a Domestic in his trade of Coachman.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Other families at same address (White Houses) all have Domestics as their Head of household, with lots of young children. The White Houses are very near Sockburn Hall so it seems very likely that Charles was Coachman for the family there at the Hall. I got in touch with the family who own it now; hoping they might have some records about the domestic staff, but sadly no! However, Laura of <a href="http://sockburn.blogspot.com/">Sockburn Hall</a> has been very helpful - I include some of her words here in this post.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to find out more about the Hall, follow these links: local history <a href="http://www.durham-pa.gov.uk/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=D6885">here</a>; dilapidation of (see <a href="http://www.darlington.gov.uk/dar_public/Documents/Development%20and%20Environment/Development%20and%20Regeneration/Planning%20Services/Conservation/BaR.pdf">here</a>); and now the restoration of (photos <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/sockburn/">here</a> and blog <a href="http://sockburn.blogspot.com/">here</a>). A recent arrival has been <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/getyourwellies/3993053143/in/pool-sockburn">this old photograph of the Hall</a>, from 1927.<br />
<br />
An article on the lovely <a href="http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/history/memories/4399653.A_hall_and_a_chopped_up_dragon/">Northern Echo</a> about Sockburn Hall (May 2009).<br />
Further, a note in the <a href="http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/archive/2007/08/24/Looking+Back+%28dst_lookingback%29/1642695.August_24__2007/">Northern Echo</a> (from August 2007): <br />
<blockquote>"From this newspaper 100 years ago - </blockquote><blockquote>A disused well at Sockburn Hall, near Darlington, was discovered in a peculiar manner on Thursday. <br />
A grocer's cart was being driven up the roadway leading to the hall, when the horse stumbled and began to sink. The cartman had some difficulty in extricating it from the hole, which was found to be the shaft of a disused well, the beams of which had rotted."</blockquote><br />
<br />
Do look <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/sockburn/">at the photos</a>, as the stone has a beautiful colour. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/preef/378681493/in/set-72157594211580839/">This one</a> is a favourite of mine. In particular, search out photos of the Coach house - here's a set of them on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/getyourwellies/tags/coachhouse/show/">Laura's Flickr stream</a> and a description <a href="http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=D11392">here</a> on Keys to the Past. There you'll see the results of a recent working weekend, saving the roof tiles and uncovering the stable floors and fittings. Both the Hall and the Coach House are listed, and indeed the whole site has been found to be a place of worship and importance for <b>many </b>centuries. <i>A fascinating place.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Back to what Laura tells us: </b><br />
We know that this Coach house building had staff accommodation upstairs ("tack room below and two living rooms above, adjacent to the stables"), yet it seems to have been empty in the year 1901. Laura has "not seen a census record which cites anyone as living in the Coach House". Perhaps, as Charles had his family of 6 to house, the Coach house was too small for them?<br />
<br />
Laura continues to tell us that the "White Houses were the houses on the ridge, where the public road ends and a public footpath to Girsby goes off to the left from Sockburn Lane. The area is now known as 'High Farm'. It would certainly make sense that White Houses could have been used by Sockburn Hall/Farm/Estate staff, it's only half a mile from the Hall." See the map <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Sockburn&sll=54.459911,-1.463027&sspn=0.013421,0.044847&ie=UTF8&ll=54.46046,-1.462812&spn=0.026841,0.089693&t=h&z=14">here</a> - you'll see it's in a peninsular-like loop of the River Tees.<br />
<br />
Clive (Kate Hallworth Junior's Grandson) visited a few years back, when he saw the area of The White houses - which he "was told were demolished some years ago and replaced with another farm building", and also visited Sockburn Hall, being shown round by one of the present owners. "It was in a poor state of repair but very interesting," he tells us.<br />
<br />
Visit the <a href="http://sockburn.blogspot.com/">Sockburn Hall site</a> to find out how you can help - for working weekends, they not only need people's time & muscles, they also need donations of food (or supermarket vouchers for such) for the lunches...and to borrow wheelbarrows, spades, etc. Lots of other ways to help - see the right hand column of <a href="http://sockburn.blogspot.com/">the site</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Who were the Lords of the Manor?</span><br />
Laura tells us, "Lt William Hopper Williamson, a widower, is recorded as occupying (presumably renting) Sockburn Hall on the 1901 census with his 6 year old daughter Eleanor and a number of domestics." He was a retired Lieutenant, born in Scarborough in 1867 (Mar Q). We also know that he had remarried just after the census in 1901, to a lass named Frances.<br />
<br />
"Though the <a href="http://www.theblacketts.com/" target="_blank">Blackett family</a> (who had built Sockburn Hall in 1834) left the house well before 1901, the Hall and estate was still owned by the Blacketts until 1920 when it was sold by Arthur Edward Blackett to Wilhelmine Vera Thompson of the Thompson family (more info see: <a href="http://members.cox.net/ghgraham/stanleythompson1880.html" target="_blank">http://members.cox.net/ghgraham/stanleythompson1880.html</a>) My family bought the house in the 1950s and sadly we have yet to find evidence of records dating back further than that (pertaining to the Hall) at Sockburn... though we continue in hope!"<br />
<br />
Recently they have made contact with a descendant of a previous occupier - you can read about her memories in <a href="http://withybrook.blogspot.com/">Withy's blog</a> {3 posts in March '09}.<br />

<b>Call for Book of Contributions</b><br />
In 1910, a Vicar's daughter near Sockburn Hall put together <a href="http://sockburn.blogspot.com/2010/03/sockburn-hall-project-call-for-2010.html">a book to raise money</a> for the church. For summer 2010, Sockburn Hall is doing it again in order to raise the money needed for it's own restoration! We contributed a short piece about Charles' work at Sockburn for the new edition.<br />
<br />
<br />
**LATEST News**<br />
The Sockburn folk <a href="http://sockburn.blogspot.com/2010/03/sockburn-hall-project-call-for-2010.html">have published</a> a few quotes to demonstrate what they'd like to hear, and one of them from 1910 is attributed to Mrs. Hallworth of Sockburn!<br />
<blockquote><i>Make the best of one another: everyone has some weak points; but we must fix our attention on their good qualities, and encourage them.</i></blockquote>Very good, well done Kate! It is actually helpful to see that she was still living there in 1909/10, as we know the family were at Pepper Arden in Spring 1911. Fascinating!<br />
<br />
A pair of Shakespeare quotes also appeared in the 1910 edition - contributed by the young daughters, Lily & Florence Hallworth.<br />

I've also goggled a bit and found <a href="http://www.biels.co.uk/html/the_carriage.html">images</a> of a carriage which was built in 1880. I wonder if he also ran a <a href="http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/dalmatians/37666">Dalmation</a> or coach dog alongside? Apparently they were the preferred breed of dog to accompany carriages for use as a guard dog; they are unafraid of horses and are tireless runners. They're described <a href="http://georgiantimes.homestead.com/files/horse_and_carriage/carriages.html">here</a> as the first 'car alarm'!<br />
<br />
Charles' work as a coachman in 1901 was fairly secure, we might think - but the motor car was beginning to appear. The average speed limit in most cities in 1904 was 10mph.<br />
By 1910, there were 100,000 cars in Great Britain. Interesting <a href="http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/NewslettersandArticles/EarlyMotoringInBedfordshire.aspx">article to be read here</a> - though it refers to his birthplace Ampthill, not the North East.<br />
<blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">from <a href="http://www.buzzle.com/articles/history-of-cars.html">Buzzle.com</a></span><br />
"The history of cars in Britain has seen several attempts to build steam cars. However, Santler is credited with having designed and built the first petrol-powered car in the country, in 1894. The first major production of vehicles in Britain was by the Daimler Motor Company, with their first cars sizzling on the roads by 1897. In 1897, the first ever diesel engine powered automobile was German engineered by Rudolf Diesel. The competition between the steam, electric and gasoline powered cars remained steady and lasted for decades. However, in good time and after a number of alterations and awarded credibility, the gasoline internal combustion engines achieved the deserved dominance by 1910."</blockquote>Many coachmen would have simply become 'chauffeurs' of the motor cars rather than the horsedrawn vehicles. Charles, however, seems to have chosen an alternative career. He ran The New Inn of Stokesley - advertising "good stabling and accommodation for cyclists". It is still there, on the B1365 through Stokesley; see <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=The+New+Inn,+Stokesley&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=54.471691,-1.188098&spn=0.013417,0.044847&t=h&z=15">map</a>.<br />
<br />
We know he was running the New Inn by 1918, and he certainly did not retire early. Read the <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/03/hallworths-in-1911.html">next post</a> to learn more about the years at Pepper Arden Hall.<br />
<br />
<b>More Wheels!</b><br />
His sons George and Harry continued in the trade by becoming a Milkman and a Motor Bus Driver respectively. Several of Harry's <a href="http://tourofmull2008.blogspot.com/">descendants</a> are obsessed with cars/bikes!<br />
<br />

Again, many thanks go to Clive, Peter Hallworth, and to Laura Stephens of Sockburn Hall for their glad help in my research into what Charles was doing. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, and add more if you know more...Watch this space!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18443751717172888793noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669189542232454406.post-30547503426608392172009-01-10T12:00:00.008+00:002010-07-07T14:05:34.067+01:00Hallworths in 1911 - at Pepper Arden HallThe 1911 Census of North Yorkshire has finally become available. We find the Hallworth family of Charles & Kate living in the Northallerton area, although Lilian is in the Bedale area.<br />
<br />
Their address is given as Pepper Arden, East Cowton.<br />
<a name='more'></a>We learn that Kate & Charles have been married 17 years, and they confirm they have had 4 children "born alive to the present marriage". <span style="font-style: italic;">{So the couple have not counted Kate, then.}</span><br />
Charles Hallworth (1865; a coachman Domestic)<br />
Kate Charlotte Hallworth (1867)<br />
with Florence (14, scholar in a Private School); George Charles (13); William Henry (11) - the boys are described as scholars in a public school.<br />
I'm not sure what to make of the comments on the types of school. Seems unlikely the family could afford to send Florence to Polam Hall or the like...especially when we see the older daughter is in service. Any ideas? Was she perhaps being schooled with the Williamson's daughter, who was a similar age? <i>Surely not!</i><br />
All the children are described as born at Over Dinsdale.<br />
<br />
also<br />
Lilian Maude Hallworth (aged 16 - a domestic) in Bedale, Yorkshire. She's living and working as a nurse, at a very large house named Theakston, for the McIntyre family which has several young children. The boss, Mr McIntyre was described as a Yeoman & Stock Breeder. Turns out to be <i><b>horse </b></i>breeding (see <a href="http://www.yorkshire-racing.co.uk/theakston.htm">link here</a>) and it's still going strong.<br />
<br />
<br />
As I've mentioned <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/02/kate-shackleford-senior-and-junior.html">elsewhere</a>, Kate May Hallworth is living alone with her Shackleford grandparents in 1911. She was described as a Typist, aged 22.<br />
<br />
Others of Charles' family are still living in the South:<br />
Charles' brothers Philip & Robert Hallworth (48) are still living in Waltham, Berkshire - where they were seen in 1901 as a Grocer with their parents. His brother William is also a coachman, living in Wokingham. His sister Mary Hallworth is still living in the Wokingham area, with their widowed mother Elizabeth.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Pepper Arden Hall</span><br />
I presume that Charles Hallworth was working as a Coachman for the owners of Pepper Arden Hall in 1911. The census also tells us that the owners were the Williamson family he was previously working for at <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/11/sockburn-hall.html">Sockburn Hall</a>; so he moved with them.<br />

A final few tidbits -<br />
<ul><li>On the 1914 marriage certificate of his daughter Kate, Charles is described as a Stud Master.</li>
<li>Peter has a photo of a lady on a horse at the Hunt of the <a href="http://archive.thenorthernecho.co.uk/2003/1/29/105961.html">Hurworth Hounds</a>, March 1917. We see it was taken at Entercommon, which is just over the river from Sockburn Hall. The lady was Mrs Williamson, presumably the wife of the Lt Williamson who rented Sockburn Hall throughout Charles' time as coachman there. (Since then, we've found that Mrs Williamson was still Charles' boss - they were all at Pepper Arden from Spring 1911.)</li>
<li>A few notes about Slingsby family, Williamsons, and hunting in the Pepper Arden area in this <a href="http://www.archive.org/stream/bedalehounds183200reyn/bedalehounds183200reyn_djvu.txt">history </a>(to 1908) of the Bedale Hunt.</li>
</ul>Here's an old photo sent to me by Peter Hallworth, which shows us Mrs Williamson riding <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/eOpNo2xRT3y1ppJ3UeboXA">side-saddle</a>, ready for anything in a hunt with The Hurworth Hounds (March 1917). She is at Entercommon, which is just over the river from Sockburn.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li>Clive tells me that Charles Hallworth was certainly not landlord of the New Inn in 1913, but he was in the years 1925 and even in 1937 (source: Kelly's directory).</li>
<li>Peter also tells me that Charles was certainly the landlord of the New Inn in the year 1918. His son George went away to war in France and on his return he had to hunt for his parents in their new place in Stokesley, a town he did not know. What a Hero's welcome! "So they moved when he was in France - and he did not take the hint!"</li>
<li>When I looked up Charles George in the military service records, I found a few of his papers for his service with the 5th Battalion, North Riding Territorial Force - but they are very badly singed by the archives' fire. Only 4 documents survive. When he first joined up he gives his address as Kirkbank, Middleton {Tyas}. Later on, his ID card gives an address which looks like New Inn, Stokesley. His service was reckoned as beginning in November 1914 (when he was just 16?!). He received the Victory medal, and the British War medal.</li>
<li>If you read <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/dog-badger-maulden.html">this post</a> about Charles' ancestors, you will see that in becoming publican of the New Inn, he was just "going back to his roots".</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Who lived at Pepper Arden in 1911?</b><br />
The <a href="http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/NRY/Southcowton/Southcowton90.html">Bulmer's Directory</a> of 1890 tells us that Pepper Arden Hall was occupied by William Stobart, Esq., J.P., whose 1905 obituary you can read <a href="http://www.dmm.org.uk/whoswho/s919.htm">here</a> on the Durham Mining Museum site.<br />
This piece of tapestry in a Sotheby's Auction gives us a clue - <a href="http://www.sothebys.com/app/live/lot/LotDetail.jsp?lot_id=159528309" target="_blank">in the provenance section</a> we learn that the Webb family were the owners of Pepper Arden Hall , and that ownership passed to a son-in-law, Lt Gen Sir Herbert Chermside (1850-1929, a British Army Officer & Colonial Governor) when his wife died in 1910. When General Chermside died in 1929, Pepper Arden and its contents passed to the Gatty family. The last of an old generation of the Gatty family died recently (short obit from the Telegraph <a href="http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/11-Apr-2009/04-Nov-2009/all%7Eg/3/announcement105932.aspx">here</a>).<br />
It seems the Chermside family owned the Hall, but rented it out to the Williamson family in and around 1911. <br />
<br />

Found a posting on a genealogy forum - from a Peter Hallworth (linked <a href="http://genforum.genealogy.com/hallworth/messages/71.html">here</a>). Curiously, I was about to write to him; I'd just found him in the Phone Book! I had a tip-off that here was a cousin who might know a few things!<br />
<br />
So Peter Hallworth <span style="font-style: italic;">is </span>a cousin; another great-grandson of Charles Hallworth (who married Kate & lived in Sockburn). Peter's grandfather was Charles' son <span style="font-style: italic;">George Hallworth</span> (christened Charles George). He was an older brother of our Harry (William). George lived in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokesley">Stokesley </a>and had a son Fred (who sadly died recently); who had a son Peter. So now we know where we are on the tree! Peter has generously sent this lovely image of the two brothers, and indeed he sent all the images in this post to me.<br />

Peter has written a book about Stokesley (link <a href="http://aselsa.es/stokesley-scene.html">here</a>) which looks very interesting! Do visit the website, http://aselsa.es/stokesley-scene.html.<br />
<br />
Now <span style="font-style: italic;">here</span>, we are very honoured as we have reproduced this next photo from the book 'The Stokesley Scene Collection' (with kind permission, of course!). It forms part of the Hallworth story in the book. The photograph was taken in June 1923 on the occasion of George's wedding to Elsie Porrit.<br />
<div><br />

<br />
So on the left of the happy couple in that shot we see George's parents Charles & Kate Hallworth, as well as his sister Florrie. The lady in the back row we aren't sure yet, then we can clearly recognise Harry (William Henry Hallworth), then the family of the bride, and on the right side we see George's other sister Lily & her husband. Missing from the group is Florrie's husband.<br />
<br />
In the photograph below, we can see a photograph of the cake & table settings for George & Elsie's Wedding Day, 1923. They were married at the Methodist church in Stokesley.<br />

<br />
***<br />
</span>By way of a little update, here is some of what I have so far on the other children of Kate & Charles Hallworth.<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Kate Junior - see the end of <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/02/kate-shackleford-senior-and-junior.html">this blog page</a> about Kate. </li>
</ul><ul><li>Lilian - since she is mentioned on Charles' Death Certificate, {Thanks Peter} we found that she was known then as L.M. Robinson. She married Herbert (FreeBMD tells us that it was George Herbert Robinson, married in Stokesley, 1918). They had two sons, and they are remembered as running a radio shop in Hartlepool.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Florence married Maurice J. Hull (in 1921, Stokesley), had a son Ken (died only last year, 2008). We know she lived in Bristol. Florence herself died aged (just short of) 106.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Charles George (George), fought in WWI even though he was underage at first. He married <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2008/11/cousin-peter.html">Elsie Porritt</a> of Stokesley in 1923. He worked on deliveries, as a commercial traveller, then as a Stokesley Milkman with his son. He died in 1990, aged 93. See the Stokesley <a href="http://aselsa.es/stokesley-scene.html">website </a>(photos page) for a photo of a cricket team - there you will find Mr Fred Hallworth (George's son) {who sadly died in 2006}.</li>
</ul><ul><li>William (Harry) - see <a href="http://trunkcallshallworth.blogspot.com/2009/01/hallworth-beginnings.html">this blog page</a> for images of Harry, young & old. Harry had two children.</li>
</ul><span style="font-style: italic;">***<br />
<br />
</span>Peter has also passed on several copies of BMD certificates for Kate's parents. (For the lost - she was the mother of Harry Hallworth!) Can't reproduce them here, of course! But I can pass on the useful information in them.<br />
<br />
2nd October, 1864 - Marriage of Frederick George Shackleford (Occupation; Tinman) & Sarah Lukeman at St. Giles, Reading. Both were residents of Reading at the time.<br />
Both are aged 22 yrs.<br />
Their fathers are named: George Shackleford (Tinman) and James Lukeman (Labourer).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_aFUr1GHfusG3nOMNAxz-7puwvWXicn0omHnR7s5rdTzYXeed_LTCuXsGUtJO5p9LANuwEeFcHOX6J6uzE_FeFoqzTvmLxiXNuqqi5sIeE_HtFIyvnnR0esrW1tc32di7hR28ScUiPQVG/s1600-h/TinMan.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309308290428518306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_aFUr1GHfusG3nOMNAxz-7puwvWXicn0omHnR7s5rdTzYXeed_LTCuXsGUtJO5p9LANuwEeFcHOX6J6uzE_FeFoqzTvmLxiXNuqqi5sIeE_HtFIyvnnR0esrW1tc32di7hR28ScUiPQVG/s200/TinMan.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 133px;" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">{Not that kind of Tin Man}</span><br />
<br />
Further to this, Peter passed on a copy of Fred's birth certificate. That gives his father's name, but also his Mother - Charlotte Shackleford. Her maiden name was Liman (well, that's what it looks like to me!)<br />
Frederick George was born on Oct 20th, 1842 at Chatham St, Reading (St. Mary's).<br />
<br />
And then finally, a copy of Sarah's birth certificate.<br />
This reveals that her mother was named Eliza Lukeman, formerly Withers. Sarah was born on 12th May, 1842, at a cottage in Spring Gardens, Reading (St. Giles').<br />
Her father, James Lukeman, is again described to as a Labourer.<br />
<br />
That's great, Peter! I haven't updated the family tree at the bottom of the page yet, but I will. Then all will be clear.<br />
<br />

This next photo comes from Clive, who is a descendant of Kate May Hallworth (older sister of George & Harry). He lives in Australia, and has generously shared this photo with us here. <span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks Clive!</span><br />
It shows a 25 yr-old Kate May Hallworth. It was taken in 1913 or 1914, just as she became engaged to marry Sidney German. They worked in an office together - Kate was a secretary and is perhaps dressed in her 'work uniform' here. This is the same Kate we see in the Eastbourne photo above.<br />
