George Oliver (reputedly born 1731, the son of George Oliver) married Elizabeth Rawson (reputedly b. 1735) on 30 Nov 1756 at Appleton-le-Street.

This couple had three children:

1. George Oliver bap. 1 Oct 1758 at St. Helen's Church, Amotherby

George Redmore (bap. 5 Jan 1738 in Swaby, Lincolnshire) - born during the reign of George II - son of George Redmore and Ann White, married Ann Andrew at the church of St Nicholas, Partney, Lincolnshire on 30 Nov 1772. 

George and Ann appear to have had thirteen children:

1. Andrew Redmore bap. 6 Mar 1774 at St Nicholas, Partney 
2. George Redmore bap. 1 Oct 1775 at St Nicholas, Partney
3. John Redmore bap. 3 Aug 1777 at St Nicholas, Partney
4. Sarah Redmore bap. 27 Sep 1778 at St Nicholas, Partney
5. Ann Redmore bap. 1 Jul 1780 at St Mary, Binbrook
6. Elizabeth Redmore bap. 29 Mar 1782 at St Gabriel, Binbrook. Buried on 17 Apr 1782 also in Binbrook
7. James Redmore bap. 16 May 1784 at St Gabriel, Binbrook
8. William Redmore b. 24 Mar 1786, bap. 21 Oct 1792 at Kingston upon Hull, Providence Chapel (Independent)
9. Robert Redmore bap. 11 Dec 1788 at Hull Holy Trinity. Buried on 6 Nov 1791 also at Hull Holy Trinity, listed as son of George Redmore 
10. Thomas Redmore bap. 10 Oct 1791 at Hull Holy Trinity. Buried on 17 Oct 1791 at Hull Holy Trinity, listed as son of George Redmore 
11. Mary Redmore b. 5 Oct 1792, bap. 21 Oct 1792 at Kingston upon Hull, Providence Chapel (Independent)
12. Elizabeth Redmore bap. 27 Oct 1794 in Hull, Yorkshire
13. Thomas Redmore b. 9 Jul 1796, bap. 1 Aug 1796 at Kingston upon Hull, Providence Chapel (Independent). Buried 8 Oct 1797 at Hull Holy Trinity, noted as son of George Redmore.

It appears George Redmore was buried at Hull Holy Trinity on 10 Jul 1798. 

Records of the British Royal Navy Allotment Declarations show William Redmore, Able Seaman, allotting part of his pay to his mother Ann. He was first with the ship HMS Druid (1783) from 5 Aug 1806, then he transferred to L'Aigle on 28 Mar 1811, which from 1810 to 1817, was a West Indiaman. He almost certainly went to sea before this as a boy, but the records only begin once he reaches majority and pensionable age at 21. These records suggest that his mother was still alive during those years. William Redmore was discharged from the navy on 17 Aug 1815. 

• There's a marriage of a George Redmore to an Ann Hill at 20 Dec 1800 in the parish of All Saints, Sculcoates. This could well be George Redmore (b. 1775). There's also a burial of a George Redmore, son of George Redmore, on 9 Feb 1802. This would apply equally to either father or son. There's a burial of an Ann Redmoore (sic), wife of George Redmore, also at Hull Holy Trinity, on 8 Jan 1804. This could have been Ann Redmore (née Andrew), but it looks more likely to have been her potential daughter-in-law, Ann Redmore (née Hill). There don't appear to be any children from the 1800 marriage.
• Sarah Redmore married Thomas Taylor, Mariner, at Hull Holy Trinity on 18 Dec 1799. Witneses were Philip Pade and Ann Redmore (mother or sister?). Baptised Thomas More Taylor on 7 Nov 1779 at St Martin, Herne, Kent, he was the son of Thomas and Mary More Taylor. Thomas and Sarah appear to have a son, William Taylor b. 29 Apr 1816, bap. 22 May 1816 at Hull Holy Trinity, father's occupation Mariner and their residence Myton Square (Myton: A Short History). In 1841, Thomas M Taylor (60) Master Mariner and Sarah Taylor (60) - ages rounded - were living at Hedon New Road, Drypool, Sculcoates. And in 1851, Thomas M Taylor (71) Almoner, formerly Master Mariner from Herne, Kent and Sarah Taylor (71) Almoner from Lincolnshire, were living at Trinity Almshouse, 23, Postern Gate, Holy Trinity, Hull. (Hull Trinity House). Sarah Taylor died in 1852 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 98. Thomas More Taylor, Widower, Mariner, resident on the Beverley Road, remarried at Hull Holy Trinity on 4 Nov 1852 to Ann Nelson, Spinster, with residence in Blackfriargate, daughter of John Nelson, Whitesmith. Ann Nelson (bap. 15 Oct 1813 at Hull Holy Trinity) was the daughter of John Nelson and Isabella Storey. The excitement of a wife 34 years his junior, must have been too much though, because Thomas Taylor died, at 74, in 1853 D Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Volume 09D Page 135 and was buried on 18 Dec 1853 in the parish of Sculcoates, All Saints & St Mary's. As confirmation, in 1861, Ann Taylor (48) Widow, Pawnbroker, was back living with her widowed mother and her siblings at 5, Garden Street, Holy Trinity, Hull. Ann Taylor died, at 73 in 1886 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 191.
• William Redmore (25) Mariner, married Ann Widdup (22) at Hull Holy Trinity on 5 Jan 1816. Witnesses were Robert Smith and Sarah Widdup. Ann Widdup bap. 13 May 1793 was the daughter of James Widdup, Mariner. Their son John Andrew Redmore was baptised at Hull Holy Trinity on 27 Dec 1816, and lists his father as a Mariner and their residence in Myton. A second son, William Redmore b. 19 Oct 1818 was bap. 27 Sep 1819. John Redmore (10), son of William Redmore of Myton was buried at Hull Holy Trinity on 10 Aug 1827. This Ann Redmore died, aged 53 (1846 J Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Volume 22 Page 315), and was buried at Hull, St Mary on 20 Jun 1846. There is then a marriage of a William Redmore of the parish of Holy Trinity with Ann Walker of the parish of Sculcoates on 27 Dec 1846 in the parish of Sculcoates, All Saints & St Mary's. Am unable to find them in 1851, nor a relevant death to confirm this. In 1861, William Redmore (75) Mariner, Widower, Pensioner was at The Mariners Hospital Belonging to The Trinity House on the Anlaby Road, Hull (for which organisation his siter had been Almoner). William Redmore died, at 78, in 1863 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 175 and was buried on 7 Dec 1863 at Holy Trinity, Kingston-Upon-Hull.
• An Ann Redmore married a Michael Waterhouse at Hull Holy Trinity on 8 Mar 1800, but it's not posible to be certain which Ann Redmore this was.

Henry Redmore and Martha Markham

Henry Redmore (b. 29 Aug 1820), Painter, son of James Redmore and Mary Wilkinson, married Martha Markham (b. ~1824 in Newland), daughter of Joseph Markham and Sarah Dawson, at St. Mary's church, Sculcoates (PHOTO: St Marys Churchyard, Sculcoates in about 1835) on 28 Nov 1844. Henry gave his address as 'Parish of Sculcoates', but Martha specified Church Street. Witnesses were Jonathan W Redmore and Sarah Ann Horsfield, Martha's step-sister. 

The record for Henry Redmore in Britain, Merchant Seamen, 1835-1857, Register Ticket # 70,775, issued on 28 Dec 1844, gives his date of birth as 29 Aug 1820, in Hull, Yorkshire. He was employed in the capacity of Stoker. He was 5ft 7in, with brown hair, grey eyes and a fair complexion; no tattoos nor distinguishing marks. First went to sea as a boy on 6 Oct 1840. He had not served in the Royal Navy, nor on Foreign Service. When unemployed, he resided in Cleveland Street, Hull. (Cleveland Street was where he was living with his parents in 1841.)

Henry and Martha Redmore had five children:

1. Sarah Ann Redmore b. 1845 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 525, bap. 2 Nov 1845 at St. Mark's Church, Hull. Died, aged 9 on 7 May 1855 (1855 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 101) and was buried on 10 May 1855 in the parish of Sculcoates at Sculcoates Sacristy Cemetery.
2. James Markham Redmore b. 1847 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 547, bap. 4 Apr 1847 in Sculcoates, Yorkshire
3. Alice Mary Redmore b. 1849 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 603, died in 1849 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 560 and was buried on 24 Aug 1849 in the parish of Sculcoates, All Saints & St Mary's.
4. Emily Redmore b. 1855 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 154. Died, aged 17, on 17 Jun 1872 (1872 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 82) and was buried on 20 Jun 1872 at Sculcoates Sacristy Cemetery.
5. Edward King Redmore b. 11 Jul 1860 S Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 151 

The mother's maiden name on all of the GRO registrations is MARKHAM.

In 1851, Henry Redmore (30) Painter journeyman (derived from the French journée, usually implies employed) lived at 4, Anns Place (seems to have been off Raywell Street), Sculcoates, Yorkshire with Martha Redmore (27) from Newland, Yorkshire; Sarah Ann Redmore (5) and James Markham Redmore (4).

In 1861, Henry Redmore (40) Marine Artist was living in Norfolk Street, St Pauls Sculcoates, with Martha Redmore (37), James M Redmore (14) Errand boy stationer; Emily Redmore (5) and Edward K Redmore (0).

Martha Redmore died, aged 44, in 1869 M Qtr 07A 421 in Glanford Brigg.

So, Henry Redmore (48), Widower, Artist, of Regent Street, Hull, son of James Redmore, Engineer (deceased) remarried to Ann Hopwood (42) Widow, of Coltman Street, daughter of George Best, Spirit Merchant (Deceased) at Holy Trinity Church on 9 May 1870. Witnesses were William T Smith and Thomas Hewson.

Born Ann Best, Henry Redmore's 2nd wife was the daughter of George Best and Elizabeth Pearson (m. 31 May 1822 in West Rasen, Lincolnshire) and bap. 15 Jul 1827 in Sutton on Hull, Yorkshire. In 1841, George Best (40) Publican had been residing in Cleveland Street, Sutton, Sculcoates - the same street Henry Redmore's parents lived in - so the families could have known one another for some time. 

Ann Best, daughter of George Best, Inn Keeper, had originally married Marmaduke Parkinson, son of John Parkinson, Blacksmith, and Margaret Martin, on 3 Mar 1848 in Cottingham. Their only son, John Best Parkinson b. 1849 D Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Volume 22 Page 392, died aged 2, in 1852 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 77. Then Marmaduke Parkinson, blacksmith, died, aged 33, on 6 Dec 1857 (1857 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 166) and was buried on 9 Dec 1857 at St. Mary's Church, Elloughton, Yorkshire.

Next Ann Parkinson (34) Widow, daughter of George Best, Spirit Merchant, remarried to Alfred Hopwood (48) Widower, Gentleman, son of William Hopwood, Wine Merchant, at Holy Trinity Church on 7 Sep 1861. Both gave their address as Coltman Street. At the time of the 1861 Census on 7 April that year, Alfred Hopwood (49) Dock Proprietor had been living in Coltman Street with his wife Euphemia Hopwood (formerly Holmes, née Jaques) and Betsey A Heaton (20) House Servant. The Hull Packet of 31 May 1861, reported her death: "May 19, at 112 Coltman Street, Hull, Euphemia, wife of Mr Alfred Hopwood." (Coltman Street must have been renumbered, because the house currently at number 112, appears not to have been built until the 1880's). Alfred Hopwood (then of 163 Coltman Street) died, aged 53, in 1867 M Quarter in HULL Vol 09D Page 158. 

In 1871, living in Coltman Street, Holy Trinity, Hull, were Henry Redmore (49) Marine Artist; Ann Redmore (42), Emily Redmore (16), Edward K Redmore (11) and Selina A Hardine (15) Servant (daughter of John Henry Harding, Fisherman). James Markham Redmore (24) Shipping Clerk, was a Boarder in the household of Thomas Harrison (39) Engineer, at 13 Howard Street, Sutton, Sculcoates.

In 1881, at 163, Coltman Street, Hull, were Henry Redmore (60) Artist (marine); Ann Redmore (53) and Edward K Redmore (20) Artist.

Henry Redmore died on 8 Dec 1887 (1887 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 175) and was buried on 12 Dec 1887 at Hull General Cemetery. Henry Redmore left effects of £983 1s 1d. (£983 in 1888 is worth £157,559.65 in 2023).

In 1891, Ann Redmore (63) Widow Living on her own means was still living at 163 Coltman Street, Hull, with John Best (53) Widower, Retired licensed victualler, her younger brother.

Ann Redmore, widow of the late Henry Redmore of 163 Coltman Street, died, aged 69, on 21 Sep 1898.

Mary Oliver, daughter of George Oliver and Mary Hodgson, sister of Hannah Oliver, married John Langdale (bap. 7 Jun 1789 Slingsby, North Yorkshire), son of Robert Langdale and Mary Seller, in Hovingham, North Yorkshire, on 24 Nov 1825.

John and Mary had four children, only two surviving infancy:

1. George Langdale bap. 20 Aug 1826, buried 30 Aug 1826, in Slingsby
2. George Langdale bap. 5 Sep 1827, buried 4 Oct 1827, in Slingsby

4. Mary Langdale b. 19 Apr 1832, bap. 20 Apr 1832 in Appleton-le-Street

In 1841, John Langdale (50) and Mary Langdale (45) were still living in Appleton-le-Street, with son Robert Langdale (11) and daughter, Mary Langdale (9) in the household of Mary's father, George Oliver, Publican at The Cresswell Arms.

In 1851, John Langdale (61), Ag Lab, and Mary Langdale (58) were living back in Slingsby, North Yorkshire. Both surviving children had left home to work in York: Robert Langdale (20), Silk Mercer's Assistant, was living in Coney Street, in the parish of St Martin le Grand, York. While Mary Langdale (18) was employed as a Nursery Maid and residing in the parish of St Michael le Belfrey, York.

In 1861, John Langdale (71) Agricultural Labourer and Mary Langdale (68), were living on Slingsby Green, Slingsby, North Yorkshire.

In 1871, John Langdale (81) and still an Agricultural Labourer and Mary Langdale (78), were, once more, living in Slingsby, North Yorkshire.

John Langdale, died aged 83, and was buried on 25 Dec 1872, in Slingsby.

In 1881, Mary Langdale (88), Widow, Annuitant, was living alone, still in Slingsby.

St James, Hatcham was created in 1845 from Deptford, St Paul.
(Hatcham largely corresponds to the area around New Cross.)

Walter Swift (b. 1873) the only surviving child of Adam Swift and Eliza Taylor, married Emma Elizabeth Allum (b. 12 Apr 1868 in Greenwich), daughter of John William Allum and Charlotte Gillender, at St James Hatcham on 24 Nov 1895.

Walter and Emma had ten children in total:

1. Walter John Swift b. 1896 D Qtr in GREENWICH Vol 01D Page 1095
2. Charles Alfred Swift b. 1898 S Qtr in GREENWICH Volume 01D Page 1072. Died aged 4 in 1903 M Quarter in WOOLWICH Volume 01D Page 708

7. Lilian Violet Swift b. 1906 J Quarter in GREENWICH Volume 01D Page 997, bap. 4 Apr 1906 at St Paul's, Deptford. 
8. Arthur William Swift b. 1907 D Qtr in GREENWICH Vol 01D Page 995
9. Margaret Rose Swift b. 1909 J Qtr in GREENWICH Vol 01D Page 994
10. William John Swift b. 1911 S Qtr in GREENWICH Volume 01D Page 1822. Died in 1911 S Quarter in GREENWICH Volume 01D Page 1061

In 1901, Walter Swift (27) Iron Moulder from Leeds and Emma E Swift (31) were living at 89, Milton Court Road, Deptford, with Walter J Swift (4), Charles A Swift (2), Frank W Swift (0), plus Edward Millis (53) and Ellen Millis (55) Visitors.

In 1911, Emma Elizabeth Swift (41) was living at 121 Folkestone Gardens, Deptford with Walter John Swift (14) Messenger boy at umbrella dealers; Lilian Violet Swift (5), Arthur William Swift (3) and Margaret Rose Swift (2), but her husband was not at home and I've not found him elsewhere. (During the early part of the 20th century, this part of Deptford was an area of tightly packed streets. One of those streets, Folkestone Gardens, subsequently gave its name to the park that was created during the 1970s on an area badly damaged by bombs in World War II). The 1911 census confirms that they then had nine children, of whom four were still living and five had died. The tenth was, at that time, on his way.

Private Walter John Swift of the 2nd Battalion, Hampshire Regiment, born in Deptford, London and with residence in New Cross, records show he had enlisted at Woolwich, died of wounds on 10 Dec 1915 at Gallipoli, when he will have been just 19. He is buried at Hill 10 Cemetery, Gallipoli, Çanakkale, Türkiye, PLOT III.C.5. The 2nd Battalion took part in the Battle of Gallipoli when engaged in the fatal Landing at Cape Helles in April 1915 and fought in the Battle of Krithia.

In 1921, Walter Swift (48) Foundry Worker at Manganese Bronze Coy, Millwall, was a patient at Greenwich and Deptford Hospital, Vanbrugh Hill, Greenwich, while Emma Elizabeth Swift (53) was living at 76, Thames Street, Greenwich with Lilian Violet Swift (15) General Servant and Arthur William Swift (13). 

Walter Swift died, aged 48, in 1921 D Qtr in GREENWICH Vol 01D Page 1104.

In 1939, Emma E Swift lived at 34d Armada Street, Deptford. Living with her was a William Henry Beezer (b. 18 Jul 1897), Divorced. Margaret Rose Swift had married a Henry W Beezer, in Greenwich, in 1931 and I feel this has to be the same chap. That couple had a daughter, Rose Margaret Ann Beezer in 1934 (m. 1961, d. 2011), although I can find neither Margaret Rose nor their daughter in 1939.

Emma Elizabeth Swift died, aged 76, in 1945 M Quarter in DEPTFORD.

William Swift, Mary Fogg (Baker or Thursby) and Maria Taylor

Sewer Lane, Kingston upon Hull
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Bernard Sharp - geograph.org.uk/p/3344828

William Swift (b. 1824 in Leeds), son of William Swift and Mary Ann Lister married Mary Fogg, on 20 Nov 1847, at St. Paul's Church, Hull. This church was newly consecrated that year, built to serve a district of Sculcoates parish in 1844. On the record of their marriage, William Swift, Engineer, and the widowed Mary Fogg, were both listed as resident at the Old Foundry [1]. Witnesses to the marriage were William's younger brother, Zachariah Swift and Charlotte Baker. [2]

Apparently born Mary Baker, it seems she was baptised on 10 Mar 1823 at All Saints Church, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, the daughter of John and Anne Baker. Mary was 17 when she married the 45 year old, John Fogg as Mary Thursby, on 1 Jan 1841, in Tuxford, Nottinghamshire. How Mary Baker became Mary Thursby I cannot yet explain, but this sequence does show that this is the same person. 

In 1841, John Fog (sic) (45) Pensioner and Mary Fog (15) - due to rounding down - were lodging in a large household in Lincoln Street, Tuxford. 

At this date, Pensioner, can only mean military and I've found a John Fogg, born 1796 in Weston, Nottinghamshire (only 3 miles from Tuxford), who joined the 19th Foot (Yorkshire Regiment / Green Howards), at 17, on 2 Apr 1813, at Hull. He was discharged from the 41st Regt Of Foot and granted a pension due to disability with varicose veins, chronic rheumatic pains and shortness of breath on exertion, which were attributed to climate and the performance of his military duties. He appears to have been in the East Indies from 1815 to 1836. On discharge in 1840, at 44, he was 5' 4½", with brown hair, grey eyes and a fair complexion. 

John and Mary Fogg had one child:

1. Joseph Fogg b. 1844 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 523, Mother's maiden name listed as BAKER, bap. 8 Dec 1844 at St. Mark's Church, Hull. Died, aged 15, in 1860 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 148 and was buried on 8 Feb 1860 in Holy Trinity Parish.

John Fogg died, at 52, and was buried on 14 Feb 1847 in the parish of Hull Holy Trinity. On the burial record, his abode was given as 'Foundry' [Old Foundry].

William and Mary Swift then added eight children:

1. Zachariah Swift bap. 10 Dec 1848 at St. Paul's, Sculcoates
2. Denzil Swift bap. 22 Sep 1850 at St. James's Church, Hull
3. Georgiana Swift bap. 30 Jan 1853 at St. James's Church, Hull
4. Herbert Swift b. 1855 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 198, mother's maiden name listed as FOGG, bap. 26 Mar 1855 at Holy Trinity Hull
5. Estelle Swift b. 1857 S Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 210, mother's maiden name listed as HUNSBY, bap. 14 Sep 1857 at Holy Trinity Hull
6. Josephine Swift b. 1860 S Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 188, mother's maiden name listed as THURSBY, bap. 30 Jul 1860 at Holy Trinity Hull
7. Verona Swift b. 1860 S Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 188, mother's maiden name listed as THURSBY, bap. 30 Jul 1860 at Holy Trinity Hull
8. Victor Swift b. 1864 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 233, mother's maiden name listed as THIRSBY, bap. 25 Apr 1864 at Holy Trinity Hull

Despite all being born after 1837, I was unable to find civil registrations for Zachariah, Denzil or Georgiana. On Herbert's registration, they clearly confused former name and maiden name, but it's useful that Fogg is mentioned; I'm sure Hunsby is an error and meant to be Thursby and that the last is merely a spelling, or transcription error. The sequence of these does show that, however her name came to change, it was the same person. Josephine and Verona, clearly, were twins.

At the time of Zachariah's baptism in 1848, William and Mary were living the exotic, Sewer Lane, Hull (which, to be fair, looks a lot nicer than it sounds).

In 1851, William Swift (27) Engineer, from Leeds, Yorkshire, was living at Mill Yard, Anlaby Road, Holy Trinity, Hull with wife Mary Swift (28) from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire and Joseph Swift (6) [Joseph Fogg]; Zachariah Swift (2) and Denxill Swift (0). (Convent Lane, originally Mill Lane, and later Oil Mill Lane, was named as such because it led to Mill Yard and a large windmill situated on its west side.)

In 1861, William Swift (37) Engineer from Leeds, was living, undoubtedly in the same place at Oilmill Yard, 8, Anlaby Road, Holy Trinity, Hull with Mary Swift (36), Zachariah Swift (12), Denzil Swift (10), Georgiana Swift (8) - those three at school - Herbert Swift (6), Estelle Swift (3), Josephine Swift and Verona Swift both (0).

In 1871, at 7 Mill Yard, South Parade, Holy Trinity, Hull, were William Swift (47) Oil Mill Engine Driver, from Leeds; Mary Swift (47) from Gainsborough, Lincs; Zachariah Swift (22) Oil Miller; Denzil Swift (20) Oil Miller; Georgiana Swift (18) Dressmaker; Herbert Swift (16) Penitentiary Porter (Hull Prison opened in 1870); Estelle Swift (13), Josephine Swift (11), Verona Swift (11) and Victor Swift (7).

An Oil Miller is someone who extracted oil from seeds, particularly linseed and rapeseed grown in England. There has been a long history of oil milling in Hull, one of two industries that dominated the town's industrial history. See links here.

Mary Swift (formerly Fogg, née Baker and sometimes, as yet inexplicably, Thursby) died, age estimated as 47, in 1872 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 149. She was buried, on 22 May 1872, in Hull Holy Trinity parish.

In the 4th quarter of 1873, William Swift remarried Maria Taylor, eldest daughter of William Voss Taylor and Eliza Levitt. William, then 49 and Maria 40, did not have further children together, however, Maria brought with her an illegitimate daughter, Edith Maria Taylor, born 1864 S Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 232. Son Zachariah had married Maria's younger sister, Ann, the previous year, 1872.

In 1881, William Swift (57) Oil Mill Engine Driver was living at 6, Simons Terrace, Sutton and Stoneferry, Sculcoates with second wife Maria Swift (47), son Victor Swift (17) and Stepdaughter, Edith Taylor (16) Dressmaker (unemployed).

In 1891, still at Simons Terrace, Sutton and Stoneferry, Sculcoates, were William Swift (67) Engine Driver; Maria Swift (58) and Harry Taylor (8) Grandson - undoubtedly the 'natural' son of Maria's daughter, Edith.

Maria Swift died, aged 59, in 1895, in Hull.

William Swift died, at 73, in Hull in 1897.

[1] Rose, Downs and Thomson were much better known as world leaders in seed crushing machinery. The started out in business in 1777 at the Old Foundry and made cannons and windmill parts. As the Port of Hull the city became a centre for oil seed production and Rose, Downs and Thomson started making presses for the factories. In 1820 they had the first hydraulic press to extract oil from linseed. A Mrs C. Rose inherited the business in 1833 and took on a Mr Downs as Partner. Her grandson a Mr Thomson later joined the business and the name continued for over 100 years.

[2] There was a Charlotte Baker baptised also at All Saints Church, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, on 21 Aug 1824, the daughter of Isaac and Mary Baker, who this may be and, who it may speculated, could perhaps be Mary's cousin.

William Welburn (b. 1790) married Elizabeth Hodgson (b. 1794) at Saint Mary's with Holy Apostles (St Mary's Church, Scarborough, interior), on 19 Nov 1820. The record of the marriage gives William's age as 30 and Elizabeth's as 26, but I have found no records of baptisms around those times to research further.

Records exist for two children, both also baptised in Scarborough:

1. John Welburn bap. 31 Jul 1823 (purportedly born 1822)
2. Eliza Welburn bap. 16 Apr 1824 at Saint Mary's with Holy Apostles

I've found no further records for this couple.

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, on 7 Sep 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).
