William Broomby (b. 1818 in Nottingham), Flax Dryer, son of Thomas Broomby, Oil Miller, and [I believe], Hannah Gregory, married Mary Ann Douse (bap. 23 Jun 1818 at Holy Trinity Church, Hull), daughter of George Douse, Flax Dryer, and Hannah Hamilton, at St Mary's Church, Nottingham, on 25 Dec 1837.

William and Mary Ann had at least these nine children:

1. Hannah Amelia Broomby b. 1839 J Quarter in Nottingham Vol 15 P 615
2. Harriet Broomby b. 1841 S Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 15 Page 580. Died in 1842 J Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 15 Page 410
3. George Broomby b. 1843 J Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 15 Page 591
4. John Broomby b. 1846 in Derby, Derbyshire (No GRO record found.)
5. Mary Ann Broomby b. 1849 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 523
6. William Broomby b. 1853 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 130
7. Tom Broomby b. 1855 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 107
8. Henry Broomby b. 1859 S Quarter in BOSTON Volume 07A Page 358
9. Joseph Broomby b. 1862 J Quarter in BOSTON Volume 07A Page 382

Although Hannah Amelia's birth is listed, with references, at FindMyPast, this record does not come up at the GRO. The records that are found at the GRO list the mother's maiden name as DOUCE, DOUSE or DOWSE.

In 1841, at Millintons Yard, St Mary, Nottingham, were William Broomby (23) Flax Dresser; Mary Broomby (22) Spinner and [Hannah] Amelia Broomby (1).

In 1851, at Robinsons Entry, 3, Princess Street, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, were William Broomby (33) Seed crushers journeyman; Mary Ann Broomby (31), George Broomby (7), John Broomby (5) and Mary Ann Broomby (1). Not found Hannah Amelia, who will have been 12 and may have been already out working.

In 1861, living in Spain Court, Boston, Lincolnshire, were William Broomby (43) Seed crusher foreman; Mary A Broomby (42), John Broomby (15), Mary Ann Broomby (11), William Broomby (8), Tom Broomby (5) and Henry Broomby (0).

In 1871, living in Calder Street, Everton, West Derby, Lancashire were William Broomby (53) Seed crusher; Mary Ann Broomby (53), William Broomby (17), Harry Broomby (10), Joseph Broomby (8) and Hannah Broomby (78) Grandmother, Widow, from Derbyshire. Presumably, calling her Grandmother means one of the children, most likely William Jnr, completed the Census return or responded to the enumerator and that this could well be William Snr's mother. 

In 1881, William Broomby (63) Cart owner (Carter) was living at Poulton Bridge, Poulton with Seacomb, Birkenhead, Cheshire with Mary Ann Broomby (62), Joseph Broomby (19) and Jane Broomby (15) 'Neice' (I believe was their granddaughter, Elizabeth Jane Broomby, daughter of John Broomby and Hannah Allcock).

William Broomby died aged 71, in 1889 J Qtr in WIRRAL Vol 08A Page 289.

Mary Ann Broomby died in 1890 M Qtr in BIRKENHEAD Vol 08A Page 428.

Joseph Tummon and Mary Williamson

Holy Trinity Church, Hull (Hull Minster)

Joseph Tummon (bap. 23 Jan 1785 at St Mary's, Hull), son of Joseph Tummon and Mary Holroyd, married Mary Williamson (b. 7 May 1790), daughter of Thomas Williamson and Rebecca Bellard, on 6 Dec 1807 at Holy Trinity Church, Hull. 

(It appears that this was not Joseph's first marriage, as Joseph Tummon, Mariner, had previously married Mary Cornwall, also at Hull Holy Trinity, on 29 Oct 1804. Their daughter, Mary Ann Tummon was baptised at Holy Trinity on 7 Aug 1806. Cannot identify further records for this first Mrs Tummon, nor Mary Ann.)

Joseph Tummon and Mary Williamson's children included:

1. Joseph Tummon bap. 20 Nov 1808 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates. The baptism record lists Joseph's father as William and does not list his mother, however, several DNA matches point to these being his parents.
2. James Gibson Tummon b. 20 Oct 1808, bap. 15 Jun 1809 at All Saints
3. Sarah Tummon b. 1810 (no baptism record)
4. John Watson Tummon bap. 8 Feb 1812 at All Saints, Sculcoates
5. Thomas Tummon bap. 15 May 1816 at St Mary's, Hull
6. Anne Tummon b. 18 Dec 1817, bap. 9 Jan 1818 at St Mary's, Hull. Died, aged 4 yr 8 mts and was buried on 6 Sep 1822, also at St Mary's, Hull

On Thomas' baptism, they were in Lowgate, Hull, with Joseph described as a Victualler and on Ann's, Joseph is described as a Publican in Lowgate.

In 1841, Joseph Tummon (55) Sloop Broker (Sloop Insurance Brokerage is the intermediary between insurer and client) was living on the Hedon New Road, Drypool, Sculcoates with Mary Tummon (50), along with their married daughter, Sarah Couldrey (30) and granddaughter, Mary Couldrey (1).

Adam Swift (b. 1838), youngest son of William Swift and Mary Ann Lister, married Eliza Taylor (b. 1841 in Southwark St Saviour), daughter of Henry Taylor and Mary Wright, on 30 Oct 1859 at the Parish church of St John the Evangelist, Goole.

Adam and Eliza had at least eight children, but only one survived: 

1. Henry Swift b. 1860 D Quarter in GOOLE UNION Volume 09C Page 495, bap. 7 Oct 1860 in Goole, Yorkshire. It appears this child died, aged 8, in 1869 M Quarter in KIRKSTALL Volume 09B Page 178.
2. William Swift b. 1864 D Quarter in BRAMLEY UNION Volume 09B Page 331, died in 1865 J Quarter in BRAMLEY UNION Volume 09B Page 228.
3. Anne Swift b. 1866 M Quarter in BRAMLEY UNION Volume 09B Page 368, died aged 6 in 1872 D Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 272
4. Mary Swift b. 1867 D Quarter in BRAMLEY Volume 09B Page 345, died aged 5 in 1872 D Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 275
5. Joseph Swift b. 1869 D Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 506, died aged 1, in 1870 D Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 375.
6. Rebecca Swift, b. 1871 M Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 544, died aged 2, in 1873 D Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 297.
7. Walter Swift, b. 1873 S Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 410
8. Alfred Swift, b. 1874 D Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 456, died before his 1st birthday, in 1875 D Quarter in LEEDS Volume 09B Page 293.

In 1861, Adam Swift (23) Cast Iron Moulder, was a lodger in Gosford Street, Stockton, County Durham, while his wife, Eliza Swift (19) was staying with her parents - her father Henry Taylor (52), was also an Iron Moulder - in Cottingham Terrace, Sculcoates. Grandson Henry Swift (0) was also listed.

In 1871, living in Aberdeen Street, Headingley cum Burley, Leeds, were Adam Swift (33) Iron Founder, were wife Eliza (29), Ann Swift (5), Mary Swift (3) and Rebecca Swift (0), as well as Adam's widowed mother, Mary Ann Swift (68).

In 1881, Adam Swift (43) Iron Moulder, Eliza Swift (39) and Walter Swift (7), were living at 70, Hodgson Street, Sutton and Stoneferry, Sculcoates.

However, they must have moved again, because Eliza Swift died the following year, aged 41, in 1882 D Quarter in WANDSWORTH Volume 01D Page 424.

Two years later, in 1884, Adam Swift remarried, in Wandsworth, to Jane Green.

In 1891, Adam Swift (53) Iron Moulder, wife Jane Swift (49) and son Walter Swift (17) were living in Chesney Street, Battersea / Wandsworth.

Then, shortly afterwards, Adam Swift died, aged 53, in 1891 J Quarter in LAMBETH Volume 01D  Page 268. Adam Swift was buried, on 3 Jun 1891, at Brompton Cemetery (Plot: B, 84.0, 154.0) in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Adam's second wife, Jane, lists herself as born in Chelsea, which would appear to the the link that brought him to such a resting place.

In 1911, Jane Swift (70) Widow, was living in the household of Walter Kempsell (53) Carpenter. (Her daughter, Jane Green, was Walter Kempsell' wife.)

In 1921, Jane Swift (80) was still living in Walter Kempsell's household, this time correctly listed as the mother-in-law.

Jane Swift died, aged 83, in 1924 S Qtr in CROYDON Vol 02A Page 306.

James Redmore and Mary Wilkinson

Hull Holy Trinity Church (Hull Minster)

James Redmore (b. 1784), son of George Redmore and Ann Andrew, married Mary Wilkinson of Sculcoates, Spinster, at Hull Holy Trinity on 25 Oct 1809. One of the witnesses was an Ann Redmore. Mary Wilkinson b. 15 Dec 1781 and baptised on 3 Feb 1782 in Bingley, Yorkshire, was the daughter of John Wilkinson of Beckfoot (Bradford), Tanner. Unfortunately the record doesn't name her mother.

James and Mary had six children:

1. William Redmore bap. 8 Jul 1811 in Sculcoates
2. Ann Redmore b. 2 Oct 1813, bap. 28 Mar 1815 at Hull Holy Trinity. Ann's baptism record lists her father's occupation as Joiner and the family's residence at that time as Upper Union Street, Hull.
3. Thomas Redmore b. 30 Oct 1815, bap. 27 Nov 1815 at Hull Holy Trinity. The baptism initially listed the child as son of James Redmore, Joiner and Ann, however, there is a note on the original record stating that it should have said Mary and there is a declaration signed by Mary Redmore with the original record. At this time, the family lived in [Great] Passage Street.
4. James Andrew Redmore bap. 3 May 1818 at Sutton on Hull
5. Henry Redmore b. 29 Aug 1820 (no baptism record found)
6. Jonathan Wilkinson Redmore bap. 2 Mar 1823 at Sutton on Hull

In 1841, James Redmore, and Mary Redmore, with both of their ages listed as 55, were living in Cleveland Street, Sutton, Sculcoates with their two youngest sons, Henry Redmore (20) and Jonathan Redmore (15) still living at home.

During the Victorian era, the population of Hull exploded from about 22,000 people in 1801, to more than 291,000 in 1914. It is hardly surprising that housing was a major issue and many slum areas sprang up. Among the most notorious was The Groves in east Hull, a riverside community of mills and cramped terraces along Cleveland Street. It was a filthy place: according to a report in the Hull News in 1879, muckgarths (sic) drained into the tidal Sutton Drain (since filled in), which at low tide was lined with “black, putrid matter". - Hull Live on the forgotten lost suburbs of Hull

Mary Wilkinson died, aged 65, in 1847 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 408 and was buried at Sculcoates, All Saints & St Mary's on 24 Oct 1847.

In 1851, James Redmoor (sic) (66) Widower, Joiner Journeyman from Binbrook, Lincolnshire, was living in the household of George King (37) at 9, Alice Place, Sculcoates. (George King was married to daughter, Ann Redmore.)

James Redmore died, at 74, on 22 Jun 1858 (1858 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 107) with probate granted on 7 Jul 1858 to George King.

• George King married Ann Redmore on 30 Jan 1837 in the parish of All Saints, Sculcoates. The couple don't appear to have any children. In 1851, George King (37) Cooper journeyman from Hull was living at 9, Alice Place, Sculcoates with Ann King (37), father-in-law, James Redmoor (sic) (66) and Mary Ann Maulson (13) Niece. In 1861, George and Ann King, both 47, were living at 27, Green Lane, Sculcoates. In 1871, in Green Lane, Sculcoates, were George and Annie King, both 57, with Mary J Redmore (22) and Annie Redmore (14), Nieces. (They were the daughters of Jonathan Wilkinson Redmore.) And in 1881, at 9, Green Lane, Sculcoates, George King (67) Master Cooper; Ann King (57), with their nieces, Mary J Redmore (32) Domestic Servant and Annie Redmore (24) Mantle Maker, still living with them. George King died at 73 in 1886 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 136 and was buried on Christmas Eve, 24 Dec 1886 at Sculcoates, All Saints & St Mary's. In 1891, Ann King (77) Living on her own means, was still at 9, Green Lane, Sculcoates with her niece, Mary J Redmore (42) General Domestic Servant. Ann King (née Redmore) died, aged 93, in 1907 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 125.
• Thomas Redmore, Joiner, married Jane Coates on 24 Jan 1843 at the parish church of St James, Sutton on Hull. Thomas' brother, James Andrew Redmore was one of the witnesses at this marriage. Jane Lawson Coates (bap. 8 Mar 1813 at All Saints, Sculcoates) was the daughter of James Coates, Tailor and Jane Lozer. There is no evidence that this couple had any children either. The only census they appear on is in 1871, when Thomas Redmore (55) made his 'Income from Houses' is at Cottingham Terrace, Sculcoates. The record also notes that Thomas was 'Blind, not from birth' (which during this era was often caused by Smallpox). Living with him were Jane Redmore (56) and Elizabeth Tanouary (62) Wife's Sister. Thomas Redmore, Joiner, of 8 Cottingham Terrace Drain Side, died, aged 56, on 24 Jul 1872 (1872 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 138) and was buried, on 28 Jul 1872 at Hull General Cemetery. Cause of death was listed as 'Gastric Fever' (which then was likely Typhoid fever). He left his effects to his widow, Jane Redmore. In 1881, Jane Redmore (68) Widow, Annuitant, was still living at 8, Cottingham Terrace, Sculcoates. Living with her was Elizabeth Parman (70) Lodger. Jane Redmore died, aged 72, in 1885 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 117.
• James Andrew Redmore, Carpenter of Todds Lane, Northampton (in 1851, the upper part of Grafton Street was called Todd's Lane), married Mary Ann Stearn (bap. 30 Jul 1820 in Grantchester, Cambridgeshire), daughter of Thomas Stearn and Ann Hammond, on Boxing Day, 26 Dec 1844, at Holy Trinity Church, Cambridge. The couple had two sons and a daughter: i. George Henry Redmore b. 1845 D Quarter in CAMBRIDGE Volume 14 Page 13, died, aged 2 in 1848 J Quarter in LAMBETH Volume 04 Page 236 and was buried at St John the Evangelist, Waterloo (St John's Church, Waterloo). The family's address was Belvedere Road. ii. William Edmund Redmore b. 1848 M Quarter in LAMBETH Volume 04 Page 339, died, at 13 months, in 1849 M Quarter in LAMBETH Volume 04 Page 267 and was also buried at St John the Evangelist, Waterloo. This time the family's address was listed as 7 Edward Street, Lambeth, Surrey. iii. Emma Redmore b. 1849 D Quarter in LAMBETH Volume 04 Page 341, bap. 17 Feb 1850 in Lambeth with parents listed as James Andrew and Mary Ann Redmore. But then James Andrew Redmore died, aged 32, in 1850 S Quarter in CAMBRIDGE Volume 14 Page 7 and was buried on 31 Jul 1850 at the Church of St Andrew and St Mary, Grantchester. In 1851, Mary Ann Redmore (30) Widow, Lodging house keeper was living in Coronation Street, Saint Andrew the Less, Cambridge with E Redmore (1) daughter and three (presumably paying) visitors. In 1855, Mary Ann Redmore remarried to Thomas Wilson, again in Cambridge. In 1861, living at 90, Russell Street, Cambridge, were Thomas Wilson (34) Railway Guard born in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; Mary A Wilson (40) and Emma Redman (sic) (11) Daughter, born in Lambeth, Surrey. Haven't found any further records.

[NB: Four separate people's DNA results (at time of writing) show that James Redmore and Mary Wilkinson are common ancestors with those people, who are cousins through various descendants of Jonathan Wilkinson Redmore. As those are cousins, this confirms that the link has to be through Henry Redmore.]

Richard Arthur Wall and Hannah Lyne

Clifton Street, Kingston upon Hull
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Bernard Sharp - geograph.org.uk/p/3751405

Richard Arthur Wall, only child of Richard Wall and Margaret Manning Sawyer, married Hannah Lyne at All Saints Church, Hull on 19 Oct 1893. Richard Wall's occupation is listed as Steward. Hannah's father is listed as John Lyne (deceased), Cab Proprietor. Born Hannah Line, in Bridlington, on 28 Oct 1867, she was the daughter of John Smith Line and Elizabeth Barker. Living with her parents, in 1871, at Lyons Yard, High Street, Bridlington, John Line was listed as a Coachman.

Richard and Hannah had four children:

1. Harry Wall b. 1895 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 244, bap. 27 Feb 1895 at All Saints Church, Hull. Died, aged 8, in 1903 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 134.
2. Frederick Wall b. 1897 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 243, bap. 8 Dec 1897 at All Saints Church, Hull. Died, aged 25, in 1922 D Quarter in ROMFORD Volume 04A Page 474.
3. Margaret Elizabeth Wall b. 13 Dec 1899 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 256, bap. 14 Mar 1900 at St. Paul's Church, Hull.
4. Herbert Wall b. 1902 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 258, bap. 13 Aug 1902 at St. Paul's Church, Hull. Died, aged 10, in 1912 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 298.

On Harry's baptism Richard's occupation is again listed just as Steward, but on Frederick's and Margaret's baptisms, it is the more specific Ship's Steward. This explains why he was not on the 1891 census and isn't on the 1901 and 1911 census returns with the family as presumably he'll have been at sea.

In 1901, Hannah Wall (33) was living at 23, Clifton Street, Hull, Sculcoates, Yorkshire with Harry Wall (6), Frederick Wall (3) and Margaret E Wall (1).

Son, Harry Wall died, in 1903, aged 8.

In 1911, Hannah Wall (43) was living at 59 Blundell St, Hull, Sculcoates with Frederick Wall (13), Margaret Elizabeth Wall (11), Herbert Wall (8) and Florence Pinkney (19) Niece. (In 1881 and 1891, Hannah had lived in the household of Charles Boynton Pinkney, whose wife Emma Barker, was obviously a relative of her mother's.) Richard Arthur Wall is not listed in the household again on the census, but he is listed at that address on the Electoral Register for that year.

Son, Herbert Wall died, in 1912, aged 10.

In 1921, Richard Arthur Wall (56) Stocktaker, Hannah Wall (53) and Frederick Wall (23) were living at 12, Stafford Street, Hull, Sculcoates.

In the 3rd quarter of 1922, Frederick Wall married Doris M Kerr, in Hull. On 20 Nov 1922, Frederick Wall (25), died, as the notice in the Hull Daily Mail details, "On November 20th, at 24, Aldersey Gardens, Barking, Frederick, the dear husband of Doris M Wall (nee Kerr), and dear son of Mr & Mrs Wall of 12, Stafford Street, Hull, aged 25." Checking the Electoral Register for 1922, Richard Arthur Wall, Hannah Wall and Frederick Wall were still listed as living at 12, Stafford Street, Hull, sadly confirming that the couple had now lost all three of their sons. 

A happier notice in the Hull Daily Mail in 1925 reads, "LOVATT-WALL: June 10th, at St Paul's Church, George Herbert, youngest son of Mr & Mrs W Lovatt, to Margaret Elizabeth, only daughter of Mrs & Mrs R A Wall, both of the city."

In 1939, Richard A Wall, Shore Steward Retired and Hannah Wall were living at 21 Reldene Drive, Kingston Upon Hull. That year, George H Lovatt, Clerk (Gas Co) and Margaret E Lovatt were living at 9 Carisbrooke Avenue, Cottingham. There are no birth registrations, so George and Margaret don't appear to have had children.

Richard Arthur Wall died on 3 Dec 1948. From Hull Daily Mail, "WALL - On Dec 3rd, at his daughter's residence, 26, Bricknell Avenue, Richard Arthur, aged 83, beloved husband of Hannah Wall. Resting at Messrs Moses' Private Chapel, Beverley Road. Internment Western Cemetery, Tuesday 1 p.m."

Hannah Wall died at the age of 90, in 1958. 

George Lovatt died, in Beverley, in 1986. Margaret Elizabeth Lovatt of St Mary's Nursing Home, Chanterlands Avenue, Hull died 9 April 1991. Both reached 91.

Harold Sawyer and Laura Ethel Baker

The former St James' Church, Derby

Harold Sawyer (b. 23 Feb 1876), son of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, married Laura Ethel Baker (b. 17 Aug 1881), daughter of Thomas Barnes Baker and Florence Emily Lovegrove, on 10 Oct 1907, at St James' Church, Derby. 

Harold and Laura had only one child:

1. Frederick Harold Sawyer b. 10 Feb 1909 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 269, bap. 4 Apr 1909 at St. John the Evangelist, Hull.

In 1911, Harold Sawyer (35) Boot and Shoe Dealer was living at 79 Princes Avenue Hull, Sculcoates, with wife Laura Ethel Sawyer (29) from Derby, Derbyshire, Assisting in the Business and Frederick Harold Sawyer (2).

In 1921, still at 79, Princes Avenue, Sculcoates, were Harold Sawyer (45) Boot & Shoe Dealer; Laura Ethel Sawyer (39) and Frederick Harold Sawyer (12).

In 1939, Harold Sawyer, Ledger Clerk (oil) and Laura E Sawyer, were listed as living at 20 De Avenue, Kingston Upon Hull. (I think they mean Ormonde Avenue).

Harold Sawyer died, aged 66, on 18 Mar 1942 (M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 503) at 20 Ormonde Avenue, Hull. Probate was granted on 5 May 1942 to Laura Ethel Sawyer and Frederick Harold Sawyer.

Laura Ethel Sawyer died, aged 78, in 1959, in Southampton, Hampshire. 

Frederick Harold Sawyer died at 56, in 1965, in Southampton, Hampshire.

James Markham Redmore and Ann Elizabeth Newton

St. James's Church, Sutton-on-Hull
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Stephen Horncastle - geograph.org.uk/p/266573

James Markham Redmore (b. 1847), Clerk, son of Henry Redmore and Martha Markham, married Ann Elizabeth Newton (bap. 3 Jan 1855 at St Mark's, Hull) daughter of John Newton, Ship's Carpenter, and Sarah Ann Woodmancey, at St James's Church, Sutton-on-Hull, on 4 Sep 1871. James (24) gave his residence as The Groves - then Hull's most notorious slum area - while Anne (18) gave hers as Spring Street. Witnesses were John Boyle Power [1] and Emily Redmore, who was James' younger sister - she may have been Ann's bridesmaid.

[1] John Boyle Power, who quite likely was James' best man, in 1861, had been listed as a Telegraph clerk from Ireland. The notice of his death at the age of 87 in 1932, described him as late Superintendent Hull G.P.O. Telegraph Department.

James and Anne had five children:

1. Ada Mary Redmore b. 20 Jan 1873 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 148, bap. 23 Feb 1873 at St. Mark's Church, Hull
2. Alfred Redmore b. 1874 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 120, bap. 6 May 1875 at St. Mark's Church, Hull
3. Eva Redmore b. 7 Apr 1876 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 118, bap. 23 Apr 1876 at St. Mark's Church, Hull
4. Sarah Elizabeth Redmore b. 11 Feb 1878 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 126, bap. 18 Feb 1878 at St. Mark's Church, Hull. Died in  1878 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 83, buried on 21 Feb 1878.
5. John William Newton Redmore b. 1879 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 123

All five birth registrations confirm the mother's maiden name NEWTON.

In 1881, James M Redmore (34) Merchants Clerk was living in the household of his mother-in-law, Sarah Ann Newton (60) Widow, Grocer at 1, St Mark Street, Sutton and Stoneferry, Sculcoates (St Mark's Street was in The Groves), with Annie E Redmore (26), Ada M Redmore (8), Alfred Redmore (6), Eva Redmore (5), John W N Redmore (2) and Sara E Leonard (19) General servant.

In 1891, James Markham Redmore (44) Shipping foreman was living at 49, Durham Street, Southcoates, Sculcoates, with Annie Eliz Redmore (35), Alfred Redmore (16) Merchant's clerk; Eva Redmore (14) and John Wm Newton Redmore (11). That year, Ada M Redmore (18) was living with her Aunt Mary Travis (69) Widow, Grocer at 78, Grange Street, Sculcoates. (Actually her Great Aunt: born Mary Markham, she was James Markham Redmore's mother, Martha's, sister.)

In 1901, James M Redmore (54) Ships Cargo Superintendent was at 16, Brazil Street, Kingston upon Hull, with Annie E Redmore (46), Alfred Redmore (26) Printer; John W N Redmore (22) Stonemason and Sarah A Massey (80) Widow, Retired grocer (Mother-in-law - Annie's mother had remarried in 1882).

In 1911, James Markham Redmore (64) Ship cargo superintendent and Annie Elizabeth Redmore (56), were living at 7 Eastbourn[e] Avenue, Arundel Street, Sculcoates. All of the children had flown the nest, but the 1911 census confirms that the couple had 5 children, with 4 living, during their 39 year marriage.

James Markham Redmore, Cargo Superintendent, of 8 Balfour Crescent, Nornabell Street, Hull, died from Cardiac Failure, aged 69, on 8 Dec 1916 (1916 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 169) and was buried on 12 Dec 1916 at the City Cemetery, Hedon Road (Compartment 230, Grave 36).

In 1921, Annie Redmore (66) Widow, was living at 1, Beeton Street, Hull.

Annie Elizabeth Redmore, Widow, of 818 Holderness Road, died, aged 78, from Senile Decay, on 24 Jan 1933 (1933 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 313). The announcement in the Hull Daily Mail of the 25th, lists her as the "dearly loved mother of Ada Simpson and Eva Sowerby." Annie Elizabeth Redmore, was also buried, on 27 Jan 1933, at the City Cemetery, Hedon Road in Compartment 230, Grave 36, along with her late husband.

• Ada Mary Redmore married Arthur Rounding Simpson in Sculcoates, in 1895. This was Arthur's 2nd marriage: he previously married Margaret Graham Miller, also in Sculcoates, in 1887, with whom he had a daughter, Agnes Jane Simpson b. 1889 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 165. In 1901, Arthur R Simpson (35) Estate agent; Ada M Simpson (28) and Agnes J Simpson (11) were living at 86, Durham Street, Kingston upon Hull. In 1911, still at 86 Durham Street, were Arthur Rounding Simpson (45) Manager - estate agent surveyor; Ada Mary Simpson (37), Agnes Jane Simpson (21) and Florence Emily Seeley (17) Servant. In 1921, they lived at 88 Durham Street. Ada Mary Simpson died, aged 60, at a Nursing Home, on 29 Dec 1933 (1933 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 254), "dearly loved wife of Arthur R Simpson, Estate Agent of 818 Holdereness Road, after much suffering so patiently borne". (818 Holdernes Road is still ARTHURTON HOUSE). Arthur Rounding Simpson died on 14 May 1935.
• Eva Redmore married James Walker Sowerby in Sculcoates, in 1897. By 1911, they were listed as having 10 children, of whom 7 were living.

Joseph Tummon and Jane Hatcliffe

Joseph Tummon (bap. 20 Nov 1808 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates), son of Joseph Tummon and Mary Williamson, married Jane Hatcliffe (bap. 18 Mar 1817, in Panton, Lincolnshire), daughter of John Hatcliffe and Elizabeth Bratley, on 29 Aug 1836 at the parish of North Somercotes, Lincolnshire. As with so many earlier records, at best, clerks wrote down what they heard in regional accents: Joseph's surname is listed as Tummins and Jane's as Atcliff with the aitch dropped. :)

Records suggest Joseph and Jane had three children:

1. Sophia Alice Hatcliffe Tummon b. 1836 in Swinefleet, Yorkshire
2. William Henry Tummon bap. 7 May 1838 in Marshchapel, Lincolnshire. Their surname on William's baptism was also listed as Tummins.
3. Thomas Tummon b. 1841 in Marshchapel, Lincolnshire

In 1841, living in Marsh Chapel, Louth, Lincolnshire, were Joseph Tummons (sic) (30), Jane Tummons (20), William Tummons (3) and Sophia Tummons (5). On the 1841 Census, Joseph's occupation is listed as Agricultural Labourer.

Then Joseph Tummon died, at just 42, and was buried on 5 Sep 1849 in the parish of St. Andrew, Drypool - then a village - presumably, ironically, in the churchyard of the ancient parish church of St. Peter's Church, Drypool. The building was destroyed by bombs in 1941. The churchyard is now a garden.

In 1851, in Thornton Street, Sculcoates, were Jane Tummon (31ish) widow, Dressmaker; Sophia Alice Tummon (14), William Henry Tummon (13) Weaver; Thomas Tummon (10) and Hugh Millar, a Hawker, Lodger.

In 1871, Jane Tummon (49ish) Seamstress, was living at Winters Alley, St Mary, Hull with Emma Hatcliffe (24) Charwoman, Niece and William Robinson (60) Dock side labourer, Boarder, which suggests he also had meals provided.

Jane Tummon died, aged 53, in the last quarter of 1871.

William Arthur Sawyer (20), son of William Sawyer and Ann Smith, married Ruth Swift, daughter of William Swift and Mary Ann Lister, on 21 Aug 1855, at the Parish Church of Kirk Ella. Both were resident in Anlaby. At the time of his marriage, William Arthur Sawyer's occupation was listed as Shoe Maker, as was his father's. Ruth's father is listed as late William Swift, Ingeneer (sic). The church official was obviously better at maths than spelling too! LOL

William and Ruth had 15 children over 26 years, including one pair of twins. Seven of these children, including both twins, sadly, did not survive infancy:

I've been unable to find any of this family on the Census of 1861.

Thomas Stocks (b. 1 Nov 1882), son of William Henry Stocks and Eliza Hobbs, married Ethel Sawyer (b. 25 Jan 1881), daughter of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, on 27 Jul 1903 in the parish of Sculcoates, St Mary - this will have been in the 18th century parish church, Air Street, demolished in stages between 1916 and 1960s, not St Mary's Church, Sculcoates Lane, 1915-16. Thomas Stocks residence was at the time of the marriage, was in Nicholson Street and Ethel was listed as living in Exchange Street, which crosses Nicholson Street.

Thomas and Ethel had eight children:

Robert Leeming & Margaret Crowley & Alfred James Amass

Hull Minster, King Street, Kingston upon Hull
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Bernard Sharp - geograph.org.uk/p/6532039
Hull Minster, formerly Holy Trinity Church, mainly 1300-1425.

Robert Leeming (b. 1840) Greengrocer of Robinson Row, Hull, son of James Leeming and Jane Irwin, married Margaret Crowley (b. 1850), younger daughter of Thomas Crowley and Elizabeth Molloy, at Hull Holy Trinity, on 15 Jun 1870. 

This was not Robert's first marriage, however, as he had previously married widow, Sarah Brown (née Barber) on 12 Nov 1865, at All Saints Church, Sculcoates. He's described as a widower on his 1870 marriage to Margaret Crowley, but I've not found the record of Sarah's death. His first marriage did not produce children.

On his 1865 marriage, Robert lists his father as Robert Leeming, Soldier. In 1870, he again lists his father as Robert Leeming, but with his father's occupation given as Shoemaker. After much digging, we discover his step-father was Robert, while his biological father, James Leeming, was both a soldier and a shoemaker.

Robert Leeming's birth, in 1840, is listed in the Gro Regimental Birth Indices, Royal Artillery, in Drypool, England. And in 1841, James Leeming (37), Jane Leeming (24), Elizabeth Leeming (4) and Robert Leeming (1) were all listed as living at the Citadel and Barracks Hull, Drypool. "The Citadel" was a moated triangular bastioned artillery fortification built in the 1680s in the south-west corner of Drypool.

James Leeming, born in Lancashire, had enlisted in the Royal Regiment Of Artillery on 11 Nov 1825 - his previous trade being Shoemaker - and was discharged, at Woolwich (Royal Artillery Barracks) - son James was born here in 1845 - on 14 Sep 1846, having served for 20 years and 336 days, 7 years 5 months of that in Gibraltar. He was discharged due to chronic rheumatism, which the army judged impaired him and was as a result of his military service. Upon discharge at the age of 43, he was 5ft 9in, with fair hair, grey eyes and a fresh complexion. 

Three years later, he was dead and was buried, on 17 Sep 1849, in Drypool.

Jane Leeming (34), widow, Charwoman pauper, born in Eastbourne, Sussex, was, in 1851, living Whytalls Place, Drypool, with her five children: Elizabeth (13) Servant; Robert (10), William (8), James (5) and Margaret (3). Then, on 27 Nov 1851, listed as Jane Lemon, she married Richard Plank, Soldier, at All Saints Church, Sculcoates. On this marriage, she lists her father as James Irwin, Soldier. At this rate she was at risk of being seen as a jinx on the regiment, as Richard Plank (38) died the following year in 1852. Hence, it was Jane Plank who married Robert Wright in 1856. In 1861, Robert Wright (47) from Norfolk, Greengrocer, at 17, Broadley Street, Hull, was living with wife Jane Wright (44) and step-children, Robert Leeming (21) Greengrocer, James Leeming (16) Shoemaker and Margaret Leeming (13).

Jane Wright (formerly Plank, previously Leeming, née Irwin) died, aged 52, in 1870, in Hull. NB: I never did find a record of her first marriage to James Leeming.

After they married in 1870, in 1871, Robert Leeming (34) Shop keeper, and Margaret Leeming (20) were living in Broadley Street, Hull, next door to William Henry Tummon, whose wife, Elizabeth Crowley was Margaret's sister. 

The marriage between Robert Leeming and Margaret Crowley didn't produce any children either and there must have been 'an estrangement', because in 1881, Margaret Crowley (31) Dressmaker, was living as a boarder in the house of Alfred Amass (26) Dock labourer from London, at 8, Empringham Terrace, Hull.

Then Robert Leeming died, aged just 44, in 1884, in Sculcoates.

Unsurprisingly, Margaret Leeming (35) remarried, at St. Matthews Church, Hull, on 15 Jun 1885 to Alfred James Amass (29), reputedly son of Samuel Amass. Reputedly, because there appears to be no such person as Alfred James Amass until 1881: no birth, does not appear on any previous census.

But they had 5 lovely daughters:

1. Emma Leeming Amass b. 1883 (there's no registration nor baptism, presumably to avoid formalising this secret 'premature' birth)
2. Gertrude Amass b. 1886, bap. 14 Dec 1887 at St John the Baptist, Newington, Hull
3. Ada Amass b. 1887, bap. 14 Dec 1887 at St John the Baptist, Newington, Hull
4. Maud Amass b. 1889, bap. 7 Oct 1891 in Newington
5. Eva Amass b. 1891, bap. 7 Oct 1891 in Newington

The family's address on the four baptisms was given as 86 Glasgow Street, Hull. Margaret's father and brother also lived in Glasgow Street at this time.

In 1891, still in Glasgow Street, Newington, were Alfred Amass (34) Fisherman, Margaret Amass (40), Emma (7), Gertrude (5), Ada (3) and Maud (1).

Then in 1901, the family were living at 55, Scarbrough Street, Sculcoates with Alfred James Amass (45) Ships husband, Margaret Amass (50), Emma (17) Office cleaner, Gertrude (15), Ada (13), Maud (11) and Eva (9).

Alfred James Amass died, aged 50, in Sculcoates, in 1905.

In 1911, Margaret Amass (60) was living at 45 Scarborough Street, Hull with Ada (23), Maud (21) Assistant teacher; Eva (19) Housemaid and two boarders, Frederick (16) and Charles (15) Johnson, both from Crewkerne, Somerset.

In 1921, Margaret Amass (71) Mother-in-law, was living with James and Eva Gibbins at 75, Edinburgh Street, Hull.

 Margaret Amass (née Crowley, formerly Leeming) died, aged 77, in 1928.

• Emma Leeming Amass (20) married William Henry Sole (23) Engine Fitter, son of James Sole, both of 91 Bean Street, Hull, on 3 Aug 1903 at St. Matthews Church, Hull. Witnesses were the bride's father, Alfred James Amass, and Elizabeth Sole, William's younger sister.
• Gertrude Amass (21) married Willie Brown (22) Carpenter, son of James Brown, Iron moulder, both of New Cleveland Street, on 16 Sep 1906 at St. Mark's Church, Hull (St Mark In The Groves). St Mark's was built in 1843. It was badly bombed and demolished in the 1950s. The Groves was a slum area in east Hull, a riverside community of mills and cramped terraces along Cleveland Street. Witnesses were James Brown (probably NOT the Godfather of Soul) and Mary Ellen Brown.
• Ada Amass (25) married James Wilson Brown (36) Tailor, also son of James Brown, Iron moulder, of New Cleveland Street, on 22 Mar 1913 at St. Matthews Church, Hull. There were three witnesses: J Brown, E Amass and A Brown. So it appears that the two sisters, Gertrude and Ada, married two brothers, Willie and James.
• Maud Amass (23) married George Arundell (23) Iron moulder, son of James Vickers Arundell, both of 45 Scarborough Street, Hull, on 8 Mar 1913 at St. Mary and St. Peter's Church, Dairycoates (The old church building was taken down in February 1962 to make way for the Hessle Road flyover which replaced the Dairycoates level crossing.) Witnesses were William Henry Sole (Emma's husband) and Eva Amass.
• Eva Amass (25) of 20 Witty Street, Hull, married James Gibbins (22) Boiler maker of 68 Havelock Street, son of William Gibbins, on 16 Jun 1917 at St. Mary and St. Peter's Church, Dairycoates. Witnesses to this marriage were William Henry Sole (again) and Olive Gibbins.

Thomas Crowley and Elizabeth Molloy

Bowlalley Lane, Kingston upon Hull

Thomas Crowley (bap. 25 Dec 1812, in Hull), son of Thomas Crowley and Mary Ann Wood (m. 1808), married Elizabeth Molloy (b. 1815 in Sunderland, Durham) on 13 Jun 1838. The marriage was even announced in the Durham County Advertiser on 15 Jun 1838, "At Sunderland Church [...] (at that date Holy Trinity Church or Sunderland Parish Church) on Tuesday, Mr Thomas Crowley, to Miss Elizabeth Molloy". Although Elizabeth claims to be from Sunderland, there is no baptism for her there, so I've been unable to identify her origins. 

Thomas and Elizabeth had five children:

1. Elizabeth Crowley b. 1841 (no birth registration nor baptism found)
2. Margaret Crowley b. 1847 J Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Volume 22 Page 449, died aged 2, in 1849 D Quarter in HULL Volume 22 Page 327 and buried on 14 Oct 1849 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates
3. Sarah Ann Crowley b. 1849 J Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Vol 22 Page 483, died 1849 S Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Vol 22 Page 35
4. Margaret Crowley b. 1850 in KINGSTON UPON HULL Vol 22 Page 458
5. Thomas Crowley b. 1852 D Quarter in SHEFFIELD Volume 09C Page 235

Mother's maiden name on the registrations for Sarah Ann and the 2nd Margaret is Molloy, on that for Thomas, it's spelled Malloy, on the first Margaret it was Maloy. Have checked the GRO year by year for each and any similar derivatives.

In 1841, Thomas Crowley (25) Groom, and Elizabeth Crowley (20) - ages were rounded down to the nearest five on this census - were living in the household of Thomas' mother, Mary Crowley (50) in Cumberland Street, Sculcoates.

In 1851, Thomas Crowley (40) Agricultural Labourer, from Hull and Elizabeth Crowley (36) Spinner from Sunderland, Durham, Elizabeth Crowley (9) and Margaret Crowley (0), were among a long list of Lodgers in the household of Elizabeth Hamilton (40) at 41, Pea Croft, Sheffield, Yorkshire.

Elizabeth Crowley died, at 49, in 1858 J Quarter in Sculcoates.

On 1 Nov 1858, therefore, Thomas Crowley, Oil Miller, of Church Street, Hull, son of Thomas Crowley, Corn Factor, married Jane Rich, spinster, daughter of John Rich, Warehouseman, at St. James's Church, Hull. (The church was closed in the mid 1950s and demolished in 1957. The site is now a garden.)

Thomas Crowley, as we see, became an Oil Miller: someone who extracted oil from seeds, particularly linseed and rapeseed that were grown in England. 

There seems to have been a long history of oil milling in Hull, one of two industries that dominated the town's industrial history, with 'Isis Oil Mills' silo, No.45 Morley Street, Stoneferry, previously the earliest surviving oil mill silo in the city, which became the heart of Hull’s oil seed milling industry. (The demolition of landmark Isis Oil Mill in Hull began in 2019.); former Oil Mill, Glass House Row, close to Sculcoates Bridge; Chambers & Fargus, seed crushers and edible oil refiners and the Anglo-Egytian Oil Mills & Refinery, Lime Street, next to the river Hull, among others. Oil Seed Crushing. "There are references to the milling of rape-seed in Hull from the early 16th century and by the middle of the 18th century the industry was well established. As early as 1740 Joseph Pease, later head of the banking firm, had built an oil-mill at the corner of Lowgate and Salthouse Lane."

In 1861, living at 56, Church Street, Sculcoates, were Thomas Crowley (47) Oil miller, Jane Crowley (46), Thomas Crowley (7) and Charlotte C Rich (17) Stepdaughter. (Charlotte Collings Rich was Jane's illegitimate daughter, presumably by Mr Collings, born in 1843. She married a Thomas Beach in 1863.) Elizabeth Crowley married William Henry Tummon, in 1860. Margaret, I've not located.

Then Jane Crowley died, aged 52, in the first quarter of 1869.

So, on 24 May 1869, Thomas Crowley (54) Widower, of Church Street, Sculcoates, son of Thomas Crowley, Merchant (deceased), married, Hannah Bassingdale (50), widow, daughter of Joseph Wilson, Engineer (deceased), at All Saints Church, Hull. (Hannah Wilson previously married Charles Bassingdale in 1846.) Witnesses were Thomas Wilson and Elizabeth Wilson.

In 1871, still at 56, Church Street, Sculcoates, were Thomas Crowley (59) Oil miller, Hannah Crowley (50) - still - and Thomas Crowley (17) Oil miller.

In 1881, Thomas Crowley (69) Oil miller and Hannah Crowley (63) were living at 13, Bowlalley Lane, Kingston upon Hull. (Nos.15, Bowlalley House & 16, two houses, circa 1820. Dividing the two premises is The Pathway, an alley. See: The secrets behind Hull's mysterious black door that goes to nowhere.)

Thomas Crowley, then of Glasgow Street, Hull, died, aged 76, and was buried on 14 Feb 1889 at Hull Holy Trinity (Hull Minster since 2017).

In 1891, the widowed Hannah Crowley was still living in Glasgow Street, Newington, Sculcoates with Emma Crowley (33) who "takes in mangling". Emma was the widow of Thomas Crowley's son, Thomas Crowley, who had died at 35 and been buried on 21 January 1889, only around three and a half weeks before his father. So Hannah was Emma's step-mother-in-law. However, she is listed as being Emma's aunt. This could be for want of a better description, but it could also mean she was already her aunt by blood relation [needs further investigation].

Hannah Crowley died, aged 78, in 1896, in Sculcoates.
