Charles Stocks (b. 1856 in Stettin, Germany), son of Frederick and Ann Stock and elder brother of William Henry Stocks, married Annie Paddison (b. 9 Nov 1855, bap. 6 Aug 1856 in Louth, Lincolnshire), daughter of John Paddison and Esther Ann Borrell, at the now lost Church of St. John the Evangelist, Hull, on 4 Feb 1879. Witnesses to the marriage were a James Rutton and Elizabeth Ruthern. Both the bride and the groom gave their residence as 14 Vincent Street, Hull and both the bridegroom and his father, Frederick Stock's occupation was listed as Mariner.

Charles and Annie had at least three children (maybe 5, see 1901):

1. Herbert Archibald Stocks b. 1882 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 242 (I can find no further records, nor a death for Herbert Archibald).
2. Jessie Stocks b. 16 May 1888 in HULL Volume 09D Page 283, bap. 6 Jun 1888 at St. Thomas's Church, Hull (Another lost church: The church was damaged in a Zeppelin raid in the First World War and more severely by bombing in the Second World War and subsequently demolished.)
3. Annie Maria Stocks b. 16 Sep 1893 in HULL Volume 09D Page 256, bap. 29 Oct 1893 at St. Barnabas's Church, Hull. (Closed in 1970 and demolished.)

The mother's maiden name for all three children is listed as Paddison.

In 1881, Annie Stock (sic) (25) Servant, Married was living with her mother-in-law, Annie Stock, at 4, Emma's Place, Kingston upon Hull. Neither of their husbands were in the household, from which we can presume they were at sea.

In 1891, Annie Stocks, age listed as 30, was living, seemingly alone, in Walcott Street, Hull. Jesse Stocks (2) was living with her grandfather, John Paddison. 

The only census I've found with the whole family is in 1901, living at 7 Wellsted Street, Myrtle Avenue, Hull, with Charles Stocks (43) Donkey Engine Driver (Steam donkey), claiming his birthplace was Hull, Yorkshire (he was born in Stettin, Rabnor, Germany - now Szczecin, Poland); Annie Stocks (40), Jessie Stocks (12), Annie Stocks (7), Joseph Paddison (23) Bar Man; Edward Paddison (19) Labourer H & B Railway Co (Hull and Barnsley Railway); John Paddison (39) Labourer Paving and William Paddison (36) Labourer Electric Light. John Paddison (39) and William Paddison (36), listed as boarders, are Ann's younger half brothers. Joseph Paddison (23), too was purported to be her half-brother, but was here listed as a son of the head of the household. His birth, in 1877 S Quarter in SPILSBY Volume 07A Page 573, with MAPLETHORPE as his mother's maiden name (Ann's stepmother), but I wonder if this was to pass off Ann's illegitimate child to be brought up by his grandfather. Edward Paddison (19) was also listed as the son of the head of the household. His birth was registered as Edward Paddison in 1883 J Quarter in SPILSBY Volume 07A Page 618, with the mother's maiden name listed as STOCKS. That doesn't make sense at all. Charles and Ann were married, so if the surnames had been transposed on the registration, why was he not using Stocks?

In 1911, Annie Stocks (56) was living at 46 Wellsted St, Hull, with her occupation listed as Grocer. She is listed as Married and as the Wife of the head of the household, but Charles is not listed, with daughter, Annie Maria Stocks (17). 

Charles Stocks died, aged 57, in 1914 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 389 and was buried at Holy Trinity Church, presumably at Holy Trinity Burial Ground. 

In 1921, Annie Stocks (66) Widow, Servant, was employed in the household of Thomas Henry Hindley (62) at 13, Endsleigh Villas, Wellsted Street, Hull.

Annie Stocks died, in 1924 M Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 346.

Known as the "Fishermen's Church" due to its location in the heart of the city's old fishing community. 

Henry Hobbs (b. 1855), son of Thomas Hobbs and Eliza Welburn and elder brother of Eliza Hobbs, married Elizabeth Bridget Harvey (b. 1858 in Southwell, Nottinghamshire), daughter of Thomas Harvey and Ann Attenborough, at St. John the Baptist's Church, Newington, Hull, on 16 Aug 1879. On the record of the marriage, Henry's father's occupation is listed as Assistant Wharfinger. 

Henry and Elizabeth had eight children:

1. Walter Hobbs b. 1880 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 153
2. Ernest Hobbs b. 1884 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 136, died aged 0 in 1884  M Quarter in SCULCOATES  Volume 09D  Page 91
3. Elizabeth Hobbs b. 1885 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 129
4. Henry Hobbs b. 1887 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 130
5. Alfred Hobbs b. 1889 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 133, died aged 4 in 1894  M Quarter in SCULCOATES  Volume 09D  Page 101
6. Amy Hobbs b. 1892 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 116
7. Herbert Hobbs b. 1894 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 135
8. Edith Hobbs b. 1895 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 151

In 1881, Henry Hobbs (25) Joiner, Elizabeth Hobbs (22) Dressmaker and Walter Hobbs (0) were living in the household of Elizabeth's widowed mother, Ann Harvey (52) in Walton Street, Newington, Sculcoates. 

In 1891, Henry Hobbs (35) Joiner, was living in Beech Grove, Cottingham, Yorkshire with his widowed mother, Eliza Hobbs (67), Elizabeth B Hobbs (32), Walter Hobbs (10), Elizabeth Hobbs (5), Henry Hobbs (3) and Alfred Hobbs (1).

In 1901, Henry Hobbs (45) Joiner, was living in Newland Avenue, Sculcoates. In the household were Elizabeth Hobbs (42), Walter Hobbs (20), Elizabeth Hobbs (15), Harry Hobbs (13), Amy Hobbs (9), Herbert Hobbs (6) and Edith Hobbs (5).

However, by 1911, they'd moved to Thearne, Beverley, Yorkshire, where, Henry Hobbs (55) was a Farmer; Elizabeth Hobbs (52) from Nottinghamshire; Elizabeth Hobbs (25), Henry Hobbs (23), Herbert Hobbs (16) and Edith Hobbs (15).

In 1921, at Theame, Beverley, Yorkshire, were Henry Hobbs (65) Farmer; Elizabeth Hobbs (63), Herbert Hobbs (27), Annie Hobbs (28) Daughter-in-law; Eric Hobbs (b. 1920) Grandson; John J Nicklas (26) Son-in-law, Butcher out of work; Edith Nicklas (25) and Kenneth Nicklas (b. 1920) Grandson.

Elizabeth Bridget Hobbs died in 1934, in Beverley, aged 76.

In 1939, Henry Hobbs lived at 38 Apartment House, Margaret Street, Kingston Upon Hull. Henry Hobbs died in 1943, in Hull, aged 88.

Charles Dawson and Ruth Swift Sawyer

Charles Dawson (b. 1869 in Barnsley), son of Charles Dawson and Ann Senior, married Ruth Swift Sawyer (b. 1868 in Hull), daughter of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, at St Paul's Church, Sculcoates on 11 April 1891.

Charles and Ruth had nine children: 

1. Hilda Dawson b. 29 Dec 1891, bap. 5 Jun 1892 at St. Philip's, Hull
2. Charles William Dawson b. 16 Dec 1892 in HOWDEN Vol 09D  Page 91
3. Mabel Ruth Dawson b. 1 Jan 1894, bap. 27 May 1894 at St. Silas's, Hull
4. Horace Percival Dawson b. 8 Jan 1895, bap. 7 Jul 1895 at the Church of All Saints, North Cave, died aged 3 in 1899 in Howden, Yorkshire.
5. Cyril Dawson b. 9 May 1896, bap. 2 Aug 1896 at All Saints, North Cave
6. Wilmot Dawson b. 18 Mar 1898, bap. 6 Jun 1898 at All Saints, North Cave, died aged 18 in 1917 M Quarter in BARNSLEY Volume 09C Page 279
7. Adeline Beatrice Dawson b. 15 Jun 1902, bap. 5 Oct 1902 at North Cave
8. Dorothy Dawson bap. 3 Mar 1904 at All Saints, North Cave
9. Bernard Sawyer Dawson b. 1909 D Quarter in BARNSLEY Volume 09C Page 254, died aged 0 in 1910 J Quarter in BARNSLEY Volume 09C Page 115

Well, I hope I've included all their children. You would think Sawyer was a straightforward surname, but the mother's maiden name on Charles William is listed as LAWYER and on Mabel Ruth, it's SAWZER. These errors are so random, it's therefore impossible to tell if I've covered all potential variations.

In 1901, Charles Dawson (32) Draper's Traveller and Commission Agent, birthplace Jump, South Yorkshire, was living in Church Street, North Cave, with Ruth S Dawson (33), Hilda Dawson (9) born in Hutton Cranswick; Charles W Dawson (8); Mabel R Dawson (7); Cyril Dawson (4) and Wilmot Dawson (3).

In 1911, Charles Dawson (42) had become a Verger and School Caretaker for the Church and Education Authority in Barnsley. Living in the household are Ruth Swift Dawson (43), Charles William Dawson (18) Learner at Shirt Factory; Mabel Ruth Dawson (17); Cyril Dawson (14) Painter's Errand Boy; Wilmot Dawson (13), also a Painter's Errand Boy; Adeline Beatrice Dawson (8) and Dorothy Dawson (7).

In 1921, Charles Dawson (52) Church Verger; Ruth Swift Dawson (53), Charles William Dawson (28) Tram Car Conductor for Sheffield Corporation; Mabel Ruth Dawson (27) Clerk; Cyril Dawson (25) Postman for the G P O; Adeline Beatrice Dawson (18) Telegraphist and Dorothy Dawson (17) Sub Post Office Assistant, were living at 26, Pendeen Road, Sheffield, Ecclesall, Yorkshire.

Charles Dawson died, aged 55, in 1924 Ecclesall Bierlow (Volume 09C Page 371).

Ruth Swift Dawson died in the March quarter of 1950, in Barnsley, at 81.

• Charles William Dawson (33) Tram Car Conductor, son of Charles Dawson, Verger, married Edith Whitham (24) on 29 May 1926, at the parish church of St John the Baptist, in Owlerton (Sheffield).
• Cyril Dawson (32) married Florence Coles (26) on 5 Sep 1928 in Crowland, Lincolnshire.
• Mabel Ruth Dawson (34) married Walter Broadhead (46) on 20 Dec 1928 at St Augustine’s church Sheffield.
• There is a record of a marriage of an Adeline B Dawson to William Scholes, in Sheffield, in 1937.

In the case of Hilda Dawson and Dorothy Dawson, each with only one forename, there are too many records to narrow it down to the relevant ones.

Isaac Wright and Ann Horner

Isaac Wright (bap. 24 Sep 1792) married Ann Horner (bap. 12 Jun 1796), daughter of John Horner and Elizabeth Charles, at the parish church of St Mary, Over, Cambridgeshire, on 7 Oct 1816. They had one son, James Wright, in 1819.

In 1841, Isaac Wright (45), Ann Wright (40) and James Wright (20) were listed in High Street, Over, Cambridgeshire.

In 1851, Isaac Wright (59) Grocer and Ann Wright (56) were still in Over.

In 1861, Isaac Wright (68) Grocer and Ann Wright (64) had moved to Glover Street, Over.

In 1871, were Isaac Wright (78) Grocer And Gardener and Ann Wright (74).

Both Isaac Wright (82) and Ann Wright (79) died in 1875, both registered in St Ives registration district, Isaac having died on 20 Apr and Ann on 11 Aug. A note regarding the death of their daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Simmons, tells us that they are all buried together in the graveyard at St Mary's, Over, Cambridgeshire.

John Horner and Elizabeth Charles

John Horner and Elizabeth Charles married at the parish church of St Mary, a Grade I Listed Building in Over, Cambridgeshire, on 6 Jan 1789. 

John Horner was reputedly born in 1756 in Chesterton, Cambridgeshire, the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Horner, but I've not yet found any record to substantiate this. Similarly, Elizabeth Charles is reputedly the daughter of John Charles and Elizabeth Stanford (m. 22 Apr 1764), born in 1769, in Over, Cambridgeshire, which seems entirely reasonable, but I have not yet seen a record to confirm this.

There are records for two children:

1. John Horner bap. 16 Nov 1794 at St Andrew's church, Impington
2. Ann Horner bap. 12 Jun 1796 at St Andrew's church, Impington

On the original record of the baptism John is described as "John, Son of John and Elizabeth Horner, Labourer". On that for Ann, "Ann, Daughter of John and Elizabeth Horner, Soldier". At this time of the French Revolutionary Wars, it seems entirely probable that he may have joined the Cambridgeshire Militia.

There's a burial of a John Horner, on 10 Jan 1837, in Impington, which although lists the age at death as 70, may relate, and a burial of an Elizabeth Horner at St Mary the Virgin, Over, on 6 Jun 1839, with birth year of 1769, which seems likely, as daughter Ann was still in Over and it would be the logical place for her to be.

John Horner and Mary Ann Clarkson

John Horner (bap. 16 Nov 1794 in Impington, Cambridgeshire), son of John Horner and Elizabeth Charles, purportedly married Mary Ann Clarkson on 20 Oct 1816 in Tower Hamlets, but I've yet to see a record or listing that confirms this. 

Records do show that John and Mary Ann had five children: 

1. Eliza Horner b. 22 Jun 1817, bap. 20 Jul 1817 in St George in the East Church, Cannon Street Road, Stepney
2. Elizabeth Horner b. 20 Nov 1819, bap. 14 May 1820
3. Samuel Horner b. 13 Apr 1822, bap. 26 May 1822 
4. Sophia Esther Horner b. 30 Jun 1824, bap. 19 Sep 1824 
5. John James Horner b. 27 Jun 1828, bap. 17 Aug 1828

At the time of Eliza's baptism in 1817, John Horner, Shoe Maker, and Mary Ann were listed as living in Terling Street, St George in the East. Elizabeth, Samuel, Sophia Esther and John James' baptisms all took place at St Anne, Limehouse.

In 1841, John Horner (45) was living in Caroline Street, Stepney (which runs down to Shadwell, between Ratcliff and Limehouse). In the household were Samuel Horner (20), John Horner (12), Mary Horner (50), Eliza Dennis (24), Elizabeth Horner (21), Eliza Dennis (15)*, Matilda Dennis (3) and Sophia Horner (17). From this we can only conclude that Eliza Horner had married someone with the surname Dennis, however, I've been unable to find a record of the marriage. For the second Eliza Dennis* to be 15, she would have to have been the daughter of the missing husband by a previous partner of his, though probably more likely is that this is an error in the transcription: perhaps she could have been 5 years old.

In 1851, John Horner (56) Carman (drove a vehicle used to transport goods), birthplace in Over, Cambridgeshire, was living in White Horse Street, Stepney with wife Mary Ann Horner (66) from St Lukes, Middlesex; Sophia Esther Horner (26) born in Limehouse, Middlesex; Eliza Dennis (33) Dress Maker, born in St Georges East, Middlesex, listed as Married - no sign of her husband here nor previously in 1841 - and granddaughter, Matilda Dennis (13) born in Poplar, Middlesex.

"White Horse Street was the main street of the medieval village of Stepney, centred around St Dunstan’s Church. Until the nineteenth century, although there were buildings along White Horse Street itself, the surrounding area was mainly open fields." [Source]

On the marriage certificate for son John James Horner to Mary Ann Louisa Howard at the church of St Peter, on 23 Feb 1851, John James occupation is also listed as Carman, while John Horner's occupation is listed as Coal Merchant. Samuel Horner, on subsequent records, was also described as a Coal Porter/Carman. 

In 1861, Mary Ann Horner (76) Widowed, was living in the household of her son-in-law John George Gilpin (married to Elizabeth), in Suffolk Street, Poplar.

John Horner, therefore, must have died between 1851 and 1861, most likely, in 1853, when there is a death of a John Horner with age estimated as 61, in the registration district of St Mary Newington (Southwark). Son Samuel Horner was later found in Camberwell, adding credence to finding him south of the river. 

Mary Ann Horner died at 82, in 1866 in Poplar (Volume 01C Page 839).

Richard Tuff, Mary Pasfield and Hannah King

St Martin's church, Little Waltham, Essex
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Peter Stack - geograph.org.uk/p/2820418

Richard Tuff (b. 1754) married Mary Pasfield in 1783. The marriage record doesn't give the exact date, nor venue, but their residence was listed as Havering. That gives no clues as to their places of birth, nor lists parents or other useful details.

Records exist for five children to Richard and Mary:

1. Thomas Tuff bap. 1 May 1785 in Little Waltham, Essex
2. Benjamin Tuff bap. 27 May 1787 in Little Waltham, Essex, however, "Benjamin Tuff an infant" was buried, in Little Waltham, on 5 Jun 1787
3. George Tuff bap. 16 Nov 1788 in Little Waltham, Essex, died aged 20 and was buried in Little Waltham on 28 Jun 1809
4. Mary Tuff bap. 20 Feb 1791 in Little Waltham, Essex
5. Samuel Tuff bap. 24 Aug 1794 in Little Waltham, Essex

On a page with the heading "Burials of the Poor no stamp Duty Paid for" is the record of the burial, on 26 Aug 1794, of "Mary, Wife of Richard Tuff". 

Richard Tuff remarried to Hannah King, at Little Waltham, on 26 Apr 1802. 

Richard and Hannah had one daughter, Susannah Tuff, bap. 24 Jun 1804 in Little Waltham, but the infant was buried on 2 Aug 1804 and her mother, "Hannah Tuff, wife of Richard Tuff" was buried fifteen days later, on 17 Aug 1804. 

Richard Tuff died, aged 62, and was buried in Little Waltham on 3 Jan 1816.

Thomas Tuff and Rebecca Archer

Decommissioned church, Langdon Hills
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Robin Webster - geograph.org.uk/p/2158438

Thomas Tuff (bap. 1 May 1785), son of Richard Tuff and Mary Pasfield, married Rebecca Archer (b. 1788, cannot find a baptism), at the now closed church of St. Mary and All Saints, Old Church Hill, Langdon Hills on 19 Oct 1814. Possibly in a previous edifice, as while there's been a church on the site since at least the 14th century, the present building probably dates from the 19th century.

Thomas will have been 29 when he married, which lends credence to the earlier records found for him serving on HMS Temeraire (1798) in 1798 and 1799. 

There are records only for two children:

1. Robert Tuff bap. 30 Jul 1815 at Langdon Hills, Essex
2. Harriet Tuff bap. 5 Oct 1817 at Langdon Hills, Essex

Rebecca Tuff died, aged 37,  and was buried on 11 May 1825 at St Mary the Virgin & All Saints, Langdon Hills.

In 1841, Thomas Tuffs (sic) (50) had in his household in Langdon Hills, Essex, his son-in-law, Henry Young (30), daughter, Harriet Young (23) and their daughter, Eliza (0), as well as a William Bradd (20), who may have been a lodger.

In 1851, Thomas Tuff (66), born in Little Waltham, was living with his son-in-law, daughter and their family, still in Langdon Hills.

Thomas Tuff died, in Orsett, in 1869, at the age of 84. He was buried, on 3 Sep 1869, in Langdon Hills, but on the burial record his abode is listed as "Orsett Union House", i.e. Orsett Workhouse (later Orsett Hospital, Rowley Road, Orsett.)

Henry Young and Harriet Tuff

The Anglo-Saxon word "don" means "a low hill in open countryside".

Henry Young (b. 1810) married Harriet Tuff (bap. 5 Oct 1817), daughter of Thomas Tuffs and Rebecca Archer, presumably at the now closed former church of St. Mary and All Saints, Old Church Hill, Langdon Hills, on 23 Dec 1838.

Henry and Harriet had three daughters:

1. Eliza Young b. 1841 M Quarter in ORSETT UNION Volume 12 Page 191, bap. 14 Mar 1841 in Langdon Hills. The parents' names on this baptism are listed as George and Harriet, but I'm certain this is the correct baptism and the father's name is an error, either at the time or in transcription.
2. Lucy Young b. 1843 S Quarter in ORSETT Volume 12 Page 181, bap. 24 Sep 1843 in Langdon Hills
3. Lydia Young b. 1847 M Quarter in ORSETT Volume 12 Page 204, bap. 31 Jan 1847 in Langdon Hills

Mother's maiden name on Eliza is TUFF, on Lucy and Lydia's it is TUFFS.

In 1841, Henry Young (30), Harriet Young (23) and Eliza Young (0) were living in Laindon Hills, Essex, in the household of Thomas Tuffs (50), Harriet's father. Also in the household was a William Bradd (20), who may have been a lodger.

In 1851, still living in Laindon Hills, Essex, were Henry Young (41) Agricultural Labourer from Downham, Essex; Harriet Young (33) from Laindon Hills; Eliza (10), Lucy (7) and Lydia (4), as well as Thomas Tuff (66) born in Little Waltham.

In 1861, Henry Young (52) Agricultural Labourer, Harriet Young (41) and Lydia Young (14) were living in Wickford, Essex. Eliza Young (20) was employed as a Domestic Servant in the household of Thomas Kemble (of The Hall, Runwell (which is now a Toby Carvery), who served as High Sheriff of Essex in 1872).

So far I've found no further verifiable records for this family.

William Gilpin and Elizabeth Hays

St Dunstan & All Saints, Stepney - East end
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © John Salmon - geograph.org.uk/p/3477017

William Gilpin (b. 1782) and Elizabeth Hays (b. 1785) were married by licence at the parish church of Stepney, St Dunstan and All Saints, "The Mother Church of the East End", on 7 Dec 1806. (I've been unable to find their baptisms or parents.)

William and Elizabeth had eight children, all baptised at St Dunstan's:

1. William Gilpin b. 23 Jan 1808, bap. 21 Feb 1808
2. Mary Gilpin b. 19 Aug 1810, bap. 28 Oct 1810
3. Robert Gilpin b. 18 Jan 1814, bap. 20 Feb 1814
4. James Gilpin b. 15 May 1816, bap. 9 Jun 1816
5. John George Gilpin b. 8 Mar 1818, bap. 12 Jul 1818
6. Thomas Gilpin b. 29 Dec 1819, bap. 23 Jan 1820
7. Henry Gilpin b. 25 Dec 1824, bap. 20 Jan 1825
8. George Gilpin bap. 11 Jun 1826

On the baptism records William Gilpin is listed as Shipwright of Ratcliff.

In 1841, William Gilpin (55) Shipwright, is living in the Commercial Road, Stepney, with wife Elizabeth (55), John (21), Henry (16), George (15) & Anne Hughes (25).

William Gilpin died, aged 65, and was buried at St Dunstan's on 5 Dec 1847.

In 1851, Elizabeth Gilpin (65), Widow, House Proprietor, listed as born in Morpeth, Durham (Morpeth, Northumberland), was still living on the Commercial Road with four of her unmarried sons: William (43) Mill Wright; Thomas (31) Master Tailor; Henry (26) Print Cutter and George (24) Cooper Journeyman.

Elizabeth Gilpin died in 1863, in Stepney, aged 78.

John George Gilpin and Elizabeth Horner

Limehouse Basin

Limehouse' proximity to the river has given it a strong maritime character.

John George Gilpin (b. 1818), son of William Gilpin and Elizabeth Hays, married Elizabeth Horner (b. 1819), daughter of John Horner and Mary Ann Clarkson, in Stepney, in 1841. Elizabeth was baptised in the parish of St Anne, Limehouse, but would need the original marriage certificate for the exact date and venue.

John and Elizabeth had four children:

1. Elizabeth Gilpin b. 1845 S Quarter in STEPNEY Volume 02 Page 495, died aged 19, in 1865 J Quarter in POPLAR UNION Volume 01C Page 465
2. Mary Gilpin b. 1850 S Quarter in STEPNEY Volume 02 Page 550
3. John Gilpin b. 1853 D Quarter in STEPNEY Volume 01C Page 449, died aged 17, in 1870 D Quarter in POPLAR UNION Volume 01C Page 495
4. Grace Gilpin b. 1863 D Quarter in POPLAR UNION Volume 01C Page 642, died aged 25, in 1889 J Quarter in WHITECHAPEL Volume 01C Page 191

Despite gaps between the children, trawling the GRO registrations did not reveal any more. All four of those show the mother's maiden name as Horner.

In 1851, John Geo Gilpin (33) Sail Maker, was living in Totten Street, Stepney (now Belgrave Street, Stepney in the area of Ratcliff / Limehouse), with wife Elizabeth (31) and daughters, Elizabeth (6) and Mary (0).

The Last Sailmakers’ Loft In The East End - photographs of the Caird & Rayner building in Limehouse, the last sailmakers’ loft in the East End.

In 1861, John G Gilpin (46) was living in Suffolk Street, Poplar (renamed Walden Street, this is a stone's throw west around Whitechapel / Shadwell), with Elizabeth Gilpin (41), Elizabeth Gilpin (15), Mary Gilpin (10), John Gilpin (7), James Gilpin (27) - a nephew perhaps - and Mary Ann Horner (76), Elizabeth's mother. 

In 1871, living in Sussex St, Poplar, were John Gilpin (53) Sail Maker, Elizabeth Gilpin (51), Grace Gilpin (7) and Mary A Matthews (66) Widow, Sister-in-Law.

In 1881, Grace Gilpin (17) was employed as a Servant in the household of Mercy Hubback (43) Mariner's Wife at 6, Percy Terrace, Cedars Road, West Ham.

By 1891, John G Gilpin (73) Retired Sailmaker, and wife Elizabeth Gilpin (71) had moved out to Newlyn Road, Tottenham.

John George Gilpin died, aged 77, in 1895 and Elizabeth Gilpin died, aged 78, in 1897, both registered in Edmonton (under which district Tottenham would fall).

John Sach (b. 1839 in North Benfleet), son of Joseph Sach and (purportedly) Sarah West, married Eliza Young (b. 1841), daughter of Henry Young and Harriet Tuff, at Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, on 27 Sep 1862.

Records exist for at least six children:

1. Walter Sach b. 23 Jul 1863 (S Quarter in BILLERICAY Volume 04A Page 144), bap. 13 Sep 1863, at Pitsea, St Michael, parents John and Eliza Such.
2. Eliza Ann Sach b. 1869 D Quarter in MALDON Volume 04A Page 240, bap. 23 Mar 1870 in Latchingdon with Snoreham. Parents are John and Eliza.
3. Edith Sach b. 1872 S Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 244, bap. 29 Sep 1872 in Prittlewell, in this font at Saint Mary's Parish Church
4. Alice Sach b. 26 Mar 1875 J Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 257, bap. 9 May 1875 at Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch, Essex
5. John William Sach b. 3 Jun 1878 (S Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 292), bap. 30 Jun 1878 at Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch, Essex
6. Joseph Harry Sach b. 4 Nov 1880 (D Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 336), bap. 12 Dec 1880 at Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch, Essex

On the GRO registrations for Eliza Ann and for John William, the mother's maiden name is given as Youngs, and it is listed as Young, singular, on all the rest.

In 1871, John Sach (29) Agricultural Labourer, was at Barnes Farm, Prittlewell, with Eliza Sach (30), Walter Sach (7), Eliza Sach (3) and Ellen Sach [Edith] (1), as well as two Lodgers, John Beauman (29) and John Austria (24).

In 1881, living at 1, Wick Cottages, Southchurch, Rochford, Essex, listed as James Sach (39) Agricultural Labourer, born in North Benfleet, Essex, is head of the household, with wife Eliza (40) from Laindon Hills, Essex. They list the children as Eliza Edith (11) - assume they mean Eliza Ann - born in Prittlewell, Essex, then Edith (8) born in Latchingdon, Essex - clearly, they've transposed the two birthplaces; then Alice (6), John (2) and Harry (0), the last three born in Southchurch, Essex. Also in the household were four lodgers: John Clemence (31), George West (20), Charles Prentice (19) and James Bush (20), all also Agricultural Labourers. George West and James Bush were from Hockley, Essex, where John's parents lived. His mother, Sarah's, maiden name was reputedly West.

In 1891, listed as Edith Sack (sic), then 18, was working as a General Servant Domestic for an Optician in Sebert Road, West Ham (She later married James Peterken in West Ham in 1897 and this explains why she was in the area.) That year also, Alice Sach (16) was employed as a Domestic Servant to Arthur G Endicott (28) Confidential Clerk, in Princes Street, Prittlewell, Essex. 

In 1901, John Sach (58) Horseman on farm, from North Benfleet, Essex and wife Eliza (59) from Laindon Hills, Essex, were living in Clay Street, Great Wakering, then a village in the Rochford District in Essex, approximately four miles east of Southend-on-Sea, although like most of the villages they lived in, is now a suburb of that city. Alice Sach (26) was still employed as a Domestic Servant by Arthur Endicott in Prittlewell. (Alice Sach never married: she was listed in Rochford in 1921, Benfleet in 1939 and died a spinster, aged 65, in 1941.)

John Sach (67) was buried on 13 Mar 1909 at St Nicholas, Great Wakering. 

In 1911, Eliza Sach (70) Widowed, OAP was living in High St, Gt Wakering.

Eliza Sach (74) was buried, on 18 Feb 1915, also at St Nicholas, Great Wakering.

John Peterken and Sarah Pitchland

John Peterken married Sarah Pitchland (bap. 14 Jan 1703 in Romsey, Hampshire) at the church of St Boniface, Nursling, Hampshire on 3 Mar 1727. John Peterken was a soldier, which is confirmed on the original marriage record.

John, it appears, was born on 8 Aug 1698 and baptised on 19 Aug 1698 in Drainie, Morayshire, the son of Thomas Peterkine - the extraneous final 'e' was common at this time - and Margaret Nicoll. A wide variety of spellings show up in the records. John was Peterkine at baptism, but Peterken when he married. My feeling is that the surname was actually Peterkin and became Peterken once it was written down as that's what it sounded like to southerners hearing his Scottish accent.

Sarah was the daughter of Thomas Pitchland and Sarah Cooper, and her ancestors appear to continue back several further generations in Romsey & Andover.

John and Sarah had seven children:

1. Thomas Peterkin bap. 22 Jul 1733 *
2. Thomas Peterkin bap. 19 Dec 1734
3. Sarah Peterkin bap. 13 Mar 1736. Sarah, daughter of John Peterkin (sic) was buried on 21 Sep 1744 at St Thomas of Canterbury, Portsmouth.
4. James Peterkin bap. 26 Dec 1738, James, son of John Peterkin (sic) was buried on 26 May 1739, also at St Thomas of Canterbury, Portsmouth.
5. Mary Peterkin bap. 27 Apr 1740
6. Ann Peterkin bap. 4 Apr 1742
7. James Peterkin bap. 11 Mar 1743

All of them were baptised at Saint Thomas, Portsmouth - now the Cathedral Church of St Thomas of Canterbury (Portsmouth Cathedral).

* There's a burial of Thomas Peterkin, son of John Peterkin, on 3 Mar 1733. As this is before the baptism, my thoughts are that maybe the baptism was carried out posthumously, or what we think is the first Thomas, was actually the second.

John Peterkin was buried on 2 Feb 1765, at Portsmouth, St Thomas.

James Peterkin and Mary North

James Peterkin (sic) (bap. 11 Mar 1743 at St Thomas, Portsmouth), son of John Peterkin and Sarah Pitchland, married, Mary North (bap. 7 Aug 1751 at Holy Trinity, Gosport), daughter of George North and Sarah Spencer, on 9 Jun 1773, at the first St Mary's Church, Portsea. (The church in which Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Charles Dickens were baptised, in 1806 and 1812, respectively.) Witneses to their marriage were a John Newton and an Elizabeth Cuken.

Records suggest that James and Mary had seven children:

1. Sarah Peterkin bap. 17 Oct 1773 at St Mary's Church, Portsea
2. Mary Peterkin bap. 8 Nov 1775 in Portchester, Hampshire
3. Frances Peterkin bap. 17 Aug 1777 in Portchester, Hampshire
4. Elizabeth Peterkin bap. 20 Nov 1780 in Portchester, Hampshire
5. Anne Peterkin bap. 22 Apr 1783 in Portchester, Hampshire
6. James Spencer Peterkin b. 22 Apr 1785, bap. 24 Apr 1785 in Portchester
7. Thomas Spencer Peterkin bap. 2 Dec 1787 in Portchester, Hampshire

The baptisms - all listed as Peterkin - at Portchester will have taken place in the parish church of St. Mary, located within the grounds of Portchester Castle (overview of the site), within this Romanesque Font.

Unfortunately, none of the records gives any clues to James' occupation. 

James Peterkin was buried, on 25 Feb 1789, at St Mary's Church, Portchester.

Thomas Spencer Peterken and Jane Miller

Thomas Spencer Peterken (bap. 2 Dec 1787 in Portchester, Hampshire), bachelor, son of James Peterkin and Mary North, married Jane Miller (b. 26 Nov 1789, bap. 13 Jan 1790, at St Sepulchre-without-Newgate, Newgate), spinster, daughter of Thomas and Mary Miller, at St Anne's Limehouse on 16 Nov 1809.

Thomas and Jane had at least 11 children:

1. Henry James Peterken b. 17 Mar 1811, bap. 4 Aug 1813 
2. Thomas George Peterken b. 16 Mar 1813, bap. 4 Aug 1813 
3. Anne Petterkin (sic) b. 30 Nov 1814, bap. 2 Aug 1815 
4. Jane Peterken b. 29 Oct 1816, bap. 9 Mar 1817 
5. Alexander Peterken b. 3 Jan 1819, bap. 21 Mar 1819 
6. Sarah Peterken b. 8 Dec 1820, bap. 9 May 1821 
7. Lavinia Peterken b. 25 Sep 1824, bap. 31 Jul 1825
8. Mary Ann Peterken b. 12 Jan 1828, bap. 8 Jun 1828
9. Archibald Peterken b. 27 Dec 1829, bap. 18 Apr 1830
10. Walter Benjamin Peterken b. 30 Jun 1832, bap. 3 Feb 1833
11. Frederick William Peterken b. 30 Jun 1832, bap. 3 Feb 1833

Henry James, Thomas George, Anne, Jane, Alexander, Sarah and Lavinia were all baptised at St Anne's Limehouse. Mary Ann, Archibald, Walter Benjamin and and Frederick William were baptised at All Saints Church, Poplar. Clearly, the last two were twins. All of the baptism records show Thomas' occupation as a baker.

On 21 Feb 1824, Thomas Peterken, Baker of Gill Street, Limehouse, was declared bankrupt. The move from Limehouse to Poplar may have been as a consequence.

In 1851, Thomas Peterken (63) Master Baker, from Portchester, Hampshire, was residing at 16 Robin Hood Lane, Poplar (in the area of Blackwall) with Jane (62), Mary Ann (23), Archibald (21) and Walter (18). Also in the household were Ann Frost (31) Servant, Thomas Wiley (29) and James Harvey (22) both described as a Journeyman Baker - which suggests they were employed by Thomas Peterken.

Thomas Spencer Peterken died, aged 66, in 1855 (Volume 01C Page 396). In 1856, Thomas Spencer Peterken of Robin Hood Lane, Poplar was listed in the Death Duty Registers, which suggests he was well off enough.

In 1861, Jane Peterken (73) was still living at 16 Robin Hood Lane, Poplar with her son-in-law, John Flood (40) Baker, married to Mary Ann Peterken.

In 1871, Jane Peterken (83) Mother-in-law was still living in Robin Hood Lane with John Flood (49). Also living with her was daughter Anne Peterken (56).

Jane Peterken died at the age of 91, in 1879 (Volume 01C Page 469).

Henry James Peterken (b. 1811), son of Thomas Spencer Peterken and Jane Miller, married Mary Simpson Whitehead (b. 1809), illegitimate daughter of John Simpson and Elizabeth Whitehead, at St George in the East, in Stepney, East London, on 23 Jan 1833, according to the Parish Register of said church.

9. Emma Peterken b. 4 Jan 1852 (Volume 01C Page 613), bap. 28 Apr 1868.

Additional information and exact dates from the family bible listed at Putting Flesh on Dry Bones. All baptisms took place at All Saints Church, Poplar.

In 1841, in High Street, Poplar (less used after 1860, at this time it had been the principal street in Poplar), we find Henry Peterken (30), Mary (30), Elizabeth (5), Henry (2) and Jane (0), along with Elizabeth Sheppard (22), George Morris (23) and Martha Morris (27). Without the relationships - not shown in 1841 - it's difficult to tell if these were lodgers, employees, servants or family.

In 1851, at 208, High Street, Poplar were Henry James Peterken (40) Printer & C [Compositor] giving his place of birth as Mile End Old Town; Mary (40), Elizabeth (15), Henry (12), Jane (10), James (8), William (6) and Octavius (2).

In 1861, they were at 268 High Street, Poplar, but by 1871, they had moved to 70 Sussex Street, Poplar [1861 and 1871 also listed here].

In 1881, where they are listed at 70, Sussex Street, Poplar (Plaistow) were Henry J Peterkin (sic) (70) Master printer; Mary S (72), with just two of the daughters still at home: Jane (36) Tie maker and Emma (27) Dressmaker.

In 1891, in Sussex Street, were Henry J Peterken (80) Printer, Mary (82), Emma (who slowed time to only reach 31) and Maud Peterken (9), granddaughter (Maud b. 1881, was the daughter of Octavius Peterken and Amelia Babbage).

Mary Simpson Peterken died, aged 84, in 1895 (Volume 01C Page 542).

Henry James Peterken died, in 1900, at 89 (Volume 01C Page 401).

In 1871, James Peterken (28) Printer, was living in Poplar, London, with Mary (20) and son James (0).

In 1881, at 5 Tilbury Road, West Ham, were James Peterken (38) Printer Overseer, Mary (30), James (10), Mabel (8), John (6), Grace (5), Lily (3) and Alfred (1).

In 1891, in Queens Road, West Ham (Upton Park), were James Peterken (48) Printers Overseer, Mary (40), James (20), Mabel (18), Grace (15), Lily (13), Alfred (11), Henry (9), Florence (7), Albert (4), Arthur (2) and Margaretta (1). Didn't find John in 1891, but he appears to join the Army in 1892.

1n 1901, living in the Roman Road, Ilford, Essex, were James Peterken (58) Printers Overseer, Mary (50), Lily (23), Florence (17), Albert (14), Arthur (12), Margaretta (11), Walter (9) and grandson, Albert Arthur Peterken (2).

(Arthur Albert Peterken b. 1898 D Quarter in WEST HAM Volume 04A Page 253, his birth record shows he was born illegitimately, but without ordering the certificate, there are no clues to work out whose son he really was. He goes on to serve in World War I with Princess Charlotte Of Wales's (Royal Berkshire Regiment) and is Gazetted in 1918. He married Louisa Annie Elizabeth Turner on 16 Aug 1924 at St Clement's Church, Ilford (and 'invented' a deceased father for that occasion). Arthur Albert Peterken died in Essex, in 1957.)

James Peterken died, aged 74, in 1917, in Romford.

In 1921, Mary Peterken (70) Widow; John Peterken (47) and Margaretta Peterken (31) were living at 34, Eton Road, Ilford, Essex.

Mary Peterken died, at 81, in 1931, also in Romford.

James Peterken, Edith Sach, Elizabeth Perks & Alice Tummon

James Peterken (b. 21 Nov 1870 in Poplar, Middlesex), son of James Peterken and Mary Gilpin, married Edith Sach (b. 1872 in Rochford, Essex), daughter of John Sach and Eliza Young, at All Saints Church, West Ham on 23 May 1897.

James and Edith had three daughters:

1. Edith Mabel Peterken b. 20 Aug 1898 in WEST HAM Volume 04A Page 105, bap. 20 Nov 1898 at All Saints Church, West Ham.
2. Dorothy Lilian Peterken b. 1901 S Quarter in WEST HAM Vol 04A Page 254
3. Daisy Peterken b. 1902 D Quarter in WEST HAM Vol 04A Page 301

Their address at the time of Edith Mabel's baptism was 15 Walton Rd, Upton Park and James Peterken was employed as a Ship's Fireman.

In 1901, James Peterken (30) Gas Stoker, was at 109 Plashet Lane, Upton Park, with Edith Peterken (27), Edith M Peterken (2) and Lilly R Peterken (2) Niece.

Edith Peterken died, aged 29, also in 1902 D Quarter in WEST HAM Volume 04A Page 136. I think we can guess what the cause or contributing factor to her death was. She was buried at St Mary Magdalene's Church, East Ham on 25 Oct 1902. I've found no further records for the infant Daisy, not even a death.

James Peterken of 140 Howards Rd, Barking, then remarried to Elizabeth Perks, daughter of George Perks, at St Margaret's Church, Barking, on 21 Sep 1903. Elizabeth Perks b. 5 Jul 1882, bap. 26 Jul 1882 at St Mary the Virgin, Plaistow, was the daughter of George Perks, Bricklayer, and Elizabeth Brown.

James and Elizabeth added another five children born in Romford:

8. Albert George Peterken b. 23 Nov 1912, reg. 1913 M Qtr Vol 04A 1149

In 1911, James Peterken (40) General Labourer in the Chemical Manure industry, was living at 29 Kings Road, Barking, Essex with wife Elizabeth Peterken (28), Mabel (12), Dorothy (9), Elizabeth (6), Rose (5), Florence (2) and James (0).

Elizabeth Peterken, died at 32, in 1914 D Quarter in ROMFORD Volume 04A Page 515 and was buried on 23 Nov 1914 at St Mary the Virgin, Great Ilford.

James Peterken, in 1914-20, is listed under Registry of Shipping and Seamen: Index of First World War Mercantile Marine Medals and the British War Medal, indicating that he had served in the Merchant Marine during World War I.

Next, James Peterken married Alice Gibbs, in Romford, in Q1 of 1918. 

This was also Alice's third marriage. Born Alice Tummon, in Hull on 27 Oct 1883, daughter of William Henry Tummon and Elizabeth Crowley, she was the younger sister of George Tummon, who married Edith Mabel Peterken. Alice Tummon had married Richard Hought (b. 1881), son of Richard Robert Hought and Sarah Jane Staniforth, in Hull, in 1903. They adopted a daughter, Catherine Sherlock (b. 1899), daughter of Walter Sherlock and Olga Lindquest, whose own mother died in 1908. Richard Hought, third hand, died at sea in 1912, when the Steam Trawler 'Stork' was lost whilst fishing in Icelandic waters. Alice Hought then married Ernest Gibbs on 22 Apr 1913 at St Margaret's Church, Barking. (Ernest Gibbs previously married Elizabeth Ellen Knight, in 1897, with whom he had seven children. Elizabeth died in 1911.) Ernest Gibbs also died at sea on 15 Apr 1917.

In 1921, James Peterken (50) Boiler Fireman, employed by De Pass & Co, Guano Merchants, was living at 78, Norman Road, Ilford and the house was overflowing: with Alice Peterken (37) from Hull, Yorkshire; Dorothy Peterken (20), Elizabeth Peterken (16), Rosina Peterken (15), Florence Peterken (12), James Peterken (10), Albert Peterken (8) and step-children: George Gibbs (19), Ellen Gibbs (15) and Edith Gibbs (13), the children of Ernest Gibbs and Elizabeth Ellen Knight. 

In 1939, James Peterken, Chemical Process Worker, Alice Peterken and Albert G Peterken, Chemical Labourer, were living at 78 Norman Road, Redbridge. 

Alice Peterken died, aged 70, in 1954, in Hull, Yorkshire.

James Peterken died, aged 84, in 1955, also in Hull.
