Hallworth Photos

Further photographs from Peter Hallworth, which I promised in the previous posting. Oh, and did I mention he has a website about his super book on Stokesley local history?


Photo from 16th of February, 1918, of {Left to Right} Florry, George and Lilly Hallworth;
I'm open to corrections on this one, though!...I know that Florry was two years younger than Lilly.

Now here is a photo from October 1970 of Kate and her son George, in Eastbourne; (courtesy of The Stokesley Scene Collection).
Kate May Hallworth (1888 - 1992) was the eldest of Harry's siblings.

By way of a little update, here is some of what I have so far on the other children of Kate & Charles Hallworth.

• Kate Junior - see the end of this blog page about Kate.

• 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.

• 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.

• Charles George (George), fought in WWI even though he was underage at first. He married Elsie Porritt 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 website (photos page) for a photo of a cricket team - there you will find Mr Fred Hallworth (George's son) {who sadly died in 2006}.

• William (Harry) - see this blog page for images of Harry, young & old. Harry had two children.

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.

2nd October, 1864 - Marriage of Frederick George Shackleford (Occupation; Tinman) & Sarah Lukeman at St. Giles, Reading. Both were residents of Reading at the time.
Both are aged 22 yrs.
Their fathers are named: George Shackleford (Tinman) and James Lukeman (Labourer).

{Not that kind of Tin Man}

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!)
Frederick George was born on Oct 20th, 1842 at Chatham St, Reading (St. Mary's).

And then finally, a copy of Sarah's birth certificate.
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').
Her father, James Lukeman, is again described to as a Labourer.

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.


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. Thanks Clive!
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.

I hope to have a post in the future with more about Kate May.
