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.

Farrow Salter and Esther Mason

Farrow Salter (bap. 25 Nov 1730 at St Margaret's, Lowestoft), son of Farrow Salter and Rebecca Carter, married Esther Mason (bap. 19 Aug 1733 at St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth), daughter of James and Eliza Mason, at St Nicholas Church, Great Yarmouth (now Great Yarmouth Minster) on 21 Sep 1751.

The name Farrow is primarily a name of English origin that means Ironsmith.

Farrow and Esther Salter had at least 11 children:

1. Thomas Salter bap. 12 Aug 1753 at St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth
2. Christian Salter bap. 28 Sep 1756 at St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth (given name on baptism was Christian. Maybe it was pronounced as Christie-Ann? Christiana has been used in the family and she married as Christina.)
3. Esther Salter b. ~1759. Buried at St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, daughter of Farrow and Esther, on 27 Jul 1759 (with no corresponding baptism). 
4. Esther Salter bap. 10 May 1760 at the Yarmouth, Gaol Street, Old Meeting (Presbyterian). Buried 17 Dec 1764 in Yarmouth, Norfolk.
5. Rebecca Salter bap. 10 Nov 1762 at Yarmouth, Gaol Street, Old Meeting
6. Farrow Salter bap. 6 May 1765 in Great Yarmouth. Buried 18 May 1766 at St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth
7. Farrow Salter bap. 26 May 1767 in Great Yarmouth
8. Esther Salter bap. 11 Oct 1769 at Yarmouth, Gaol Street, Old Meeting
9. Ann Salter bap. 15 May 1772 at Yarmouth, Gaol Street, Old Meeting
10. Sarah Salter bap. 19 Apr 1775 at Yarmouth, Gaol Street, Old Meeting
11. Judith Salter bap. 13 Jul 1778 at Yarmouth, Gaol Street, Old Meeting (Presbyterian). Buried 8 Jan 1786 in Yarmouth, Norfolk (the burial record specifies her father as Farrow Salter and mother as Esther Mason.)

On 15 Jan 1790, Farrow Salter (60) petitioned the Corporation of Trinity House at Deptford seeking financial assistance. The Corporation distributed charitable funds entrusted to it by benefactors for the aid of seafarers and their dependents.

"The Humble Petition of Farrow Salter of Great Yarmouth in the County of Norfolk, aged 60 years ... Sheweth, That your petitioner was bred to the Sea, and served there as a Master of several ships in the coal & coasting trades [1], particularly was Master of the Brig Mayflower [not this one], and of the Brig Two Brothers, 16 years, both in the employ of Messrs. Wm. G Francis Daniels of the above place. But that your petitioner having been lately afflicted with a Paralytic Stroke, which has entirely rendered him incapable of doing anything for the maintenance of himself and family, having a wife aged 59 years and 3 children today Esther aged 19, Ann aged 15 and Sarah aged 13. [...] Your petitioners therefore most humbly pray that they may be admitted pensioners of this corporation at the usual allowance." 

[1] The coal and coasting trades were a vital part of Britain's economic growth, especially in the 18th century. Coal was transported by sea to areas with large populations and industry, such as London. The coasting trade also involved transporting other goods, such as grain, timber, and metal wares. (Source: War, Peace, and Free Trade: Coastal Transport in England and Wales  during the latter Age of Sail (c.1650 to c.1850) PDF, The Economic History Society]

Farrow Salter died at 67 and was buried on 25 Apr 1797 at Great Yarmouth. 

Hester (sic) Salter was buried on 10 Dec 1805 in Horsleydown, Surrey, Bermondsey where son Thomas and daughter Esther Smith were living.

Charles Smith, Rebecca Salter and Esther Salter

Great Yarmouth St. Nicholas Minster

Charles Smith (b. 1762) of the parish of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, Mariner, married Rebecca Salter daughter of Farrow Salter and Esther Mason, at what is now the church of St. Nicholas Minster, Great Yarmouth, on 9 Sep 1783. 

Charles and Rebecca Smith had three daughters, all baptised at Great Yarmouth, St Nicholas with St Peter, St John, St Andrew, St James, St Paul & St Luke:

1. Rebecca Smith b. 19 May 1785, bap. 24 May 1785
2. Margaret Smith b. 15 Aug 1786, bap. 20 Aug 1786
3. Esther Salter Smith b. 20 Feb 1789, bap. 4 Mar 1789. Buried 24 Oct 1790

However, Rebecca Salter Smith, wife of Charles Smith died aged 27 and was buried at Great Yarmouth, St Nicholas, on 27 Apr 1790.

Charles Smith then married Esther Salter, also daughter of Farrow Salter and Esther Mason, on 1 Nov 1791, at St Marylebone Parish Church, Marylebone Road, London. (Not the current St Marylebone Parish Church, but the 3rd church, opened in 1742, where Lord Byron was baptised in 1788; Admiral Horatio Nelson was a worshipper there and his daughter Horatia was baptised there. This is also the church where diplomat Sir William Hamilton married Emma Hart, later Nelson's lover. The old church closed in 1926, but was not demolished until 1949, following WWII bomb damage. Its site, Old Church Garden, is now a Garden of Rest, created in 1951.) Charles Smith was marrying his late wife's sister. This was forbidden under ecclesiastical law (but not illegal until the Marriage Act in 1835). However, in 1791, the marriage between a widower and his wife’s sister, was valid but voidable. It could be voided or annulled if successfully challenged by any interested party. Perhaps there was less chance of them being challenged in London.

I've found records for four children to Charles and Esther Smith:

1. Charles Smith b. 19 Aug 1793, bap. 22 Aug 1793 at St. Nicholas, now Great Yarmouth Minster. Died, at 5, and was buried on 22 Aug 1798.
2. Ann Smith b. 29 Mar 1801, bap. 24 Apr 1801 at Saint Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, London.
3. Christiana Smith b. 1 Jan 1803, bap. 28 Jan 1803 at Saint Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey. Died, aged 4, and was buried on 7 Nov 1806 at Southwark, St John, the Parish Church of Horsleydown, Horsleydown, Surrey, described as being 'from the Parish of St Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey'.
4. Mary Smith b. 10 Dec 1805, bap. 2 Feb 1806 at Saint Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey.

St. Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, being such a large church, seems to have been a very busy place in the 1790s. There were, for example, several lads called Charles Smith baptised there in 1793, but enormous thanks to the clerks there, who had clearly foreseen the potential for confusion and listed the mother's full name, with maiden name, on all the baptisms, as well as specifying that detail on the 1798 burial.

There are no records of further children baptised to this couple in Great Yarmouth, nor in Bermondsey that I can find. That's not to say there weren't any. It's clear they were still in the parish of St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey at least until 1806, but I'm less confident of being able to follow their story further.

Charles Smith will inevitably be more difficult to pin down. That I've got this far with a Smith is close to miraculous. It was only by working down the children of William Arthur Sawyer and Ann Smith (they named their first Ann Salter Sawyer, so I was sure that Salter was Ann's mother's maiden name), that revealed the aunt, Ann's sister, Mary Smith, who, in turn, named her father on her marriage in 1856 as Charles Smith that then allowed me to find the girls' baptisms with common parents and that led to finding the marriage. This is a lesson in why it's a huge mistake to concentrate only on direct ancestors: they may be hiding in collateral lines. 

James Markham Redmore and Ann Elizabeth Newton

St. James's Church, Sutton-on-Hull

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.
• John William Newton Redmore married Emily Sarah Barron, in Sculcoates, in 1905. They had 3 children before John died in 1917.

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.

In 1871, William Arthur Sawyer (35) Post Office Letter Stamper from Yarmouth, Norfolk, was living at Parade, South Anns Buildings, Holy Trinity, Hull, with Ruth Sawyer (37), Lavinia J Sawyer (14) Servant; Rebecca A Sawyer (11); Arthur W Sawyer (7); Mary E Sawyer (5); Ruth S Sawyer (3) and Emmeline Sawyer (1).

In 1881, they were living at 1, Clifton Street, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, where the household comprised: William A Sawyer (45) Letter carrier from Yarmouth, Norfolk; Ruth (47); Rebecca R (21) Dressmaker; Arthur W (17) Apprentice; Mary E (16) Errand Girl; Ruth S (13); Harold (5); Alfred (3) and Ethel (0). Lavinia Jane Sawyer (24) was housekeeper, at 98, Gt Thornton Street, Kingston upon Hull.

In 1891, still in Clifton Street, listed as William Sayer (sic) (55) and employed as a Parkman, with Ruth (57); Rebecca (30) Dressmaker and Ruth S (23) Mother's Help, Harold (15) Wood Carver Apprentice; Alfred (13) and Ethel (10) at school. Lavinia Jane Sawyer (31) Boot & shoe dealer was living on the Anlaby Road, Hull with Clara J Foster (15) Servant. I've been unable to find Mary Ellen (26).

William Arthur Sawyer died on Monday, 15 Jan 1900, at his residence at 93 Belvoir Street, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, aged 64. The newspaper announcement says he was buried at the Western Cemetery on the Thursday [18 Jan 1900] at 2:50 pm.

In 1901, the widowed Ruth Sawyer (67) was living in Rodney Street, Sculcoates, with daughter, Rebecca Ruth (41) Dressmaker and son Alfred Sawyer (23) Grocer's Assistant. Son Harold Sawyer (25) Single, Wood and Stone Carver, from Hull, in 1901, was a boarder in Russell Street, Peterborough, Northamptonshire; Lavinia Sawyer (44) Bootmaker, Shopkeeper was on the Anlaby Road, Hull. Mary E Sawyer (36) Cook, was in Lairgate, Beverley. Ethel Sawyer (20) was housemaid to John G J Marshall, Seed Merchant, at 391, Beverley Road, Sculcoates.

In 1911, Ruth Sawyer (77) was living with her daughter Rebecca Ruth Sawyer (51) Costumier, in Sculcoates. While Lavinia Sawyer (54) Boot and Shoe Dealer, and her sister Mary Ellen Sawyer (46) were living at 169 Anlaby Road Hull, Holy Trinity.

Ruth Sawyer (née Swift) died, aged 79, in Sculcoates on 13 Nov 1913.

In 1921, Lavinia Jane Sawyer (64) Boot & Shoe Dealer was at 169, Anlaby Road, Hull. It appears that Mary Ellen Sawyer (56) was Domestic Servant to a Mary Helen Gilpin Brown (56) in Thornton-Le-Dale.

Rebecca Ruth Sawyer (62) died at 70 Brunswick Avenue, Hull, on 17 Sep 1921. 

Lavinia Jane Sawyer of 169 Anlaby Road, Kingston-upon-Hull, Spinster died, aged 65, on 1 Oct 1921, leaving her effects to her brother, Harold Sawyer, boot dealer.

In 1939, Mary Ellen Sawyer, Retired, was living at 65 Minster Moorgate, Beverley. Mary Ellen Sawyer of 65 Minster Moorgate, Beverley, died, aged 77, on 2 May 1942, leaving her effects to her sister, Ruth Swift Dawson, Widow.

John Paddison, Esther Ann Borrell and Mary Ann Maplethorpe

Interior, Hull Holy Trinity, now Hull Minster.

John Paddison and Esther Ann Borrell - the parents of Ann Paddison who later married Charles Stocks, brother of William Henry Stocks - story is so complicated, it was worth writing down, if only to - attempt to - untangle its various turns.

John Paddison married Esther Ann Borrell on 19 Aug 1855 and the marriage was reported in the Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury (Published since 1712, this claims to be "Britain's oldest continuously published newspaper") announcing that the marriage of John Paddison of Hallington and Esther Ann Borrell of Market Rasen had taken place at the Wesleyan Reform Chapel, Market Rasen.

Daughter of George Borrell and Esther Ann Newbound, Esther Ann Borrell was baptised on 22 Jan 1827 in North Thoresby, Lincolnshire. She was eight years older than John Paddison (bap. 22 Mar 1835 in South Elkington, Lincolnshire, a village near the town of Louth), son of John Paddison and Ann Malkinson. 

When John and Esther married in 1855, this was not her first excursion into matrimony, however. Previously, Esther Ann Borrell, daughter of George Borrell, had married widower, David Hindes (sic), Labourer, on 14 Aug 1849, at Holy Trinity Church, Hull (now Hull Minster). David Hindes gave his address as Hatter's Square (Hull). Witnesses were Thomas Fulford and Mary Ellis. David Hindes listed his father as John Hindes, however, his baptism, on 12 Jan 1817, in Ulceby, Lincolnshire, specifies he was "David, illegitimate son of Sarah Hinde". 

David Hinds, who had been lodging with William and Mary Ellis in Healing, Lincolnshire in 1841, previously married Martha Corringham (bap. 27 Oct 1825), daughter of Richard Corringham, in Healing, Lincolnshire, on 2 Feb 1843. 

David and Martha had four children, all four baptised in Healing: 

1. Elizabeth Hinds, bap. 20 Mar 1843
2. Richard Hinds bap. 16 Sep 1844 
3. John Weldon Hind (sic) bap. 3 Aug 1846. Died, aged 8, in 1853 S Quarter in GLANFORD BRIGG Volume 07A Page 333 and was buried in Ulceby.
4. George Hinds, b. 1848 M Quarter in CAISTOR Volume 14 Page 335 (confirms mother's maiden name of CORRINGHAM), bap. 2 Feb 1848 

Probably as a result of giving birth to the last child that Martha aged 22, wife of David Hinds, was buried, on 27 Feb 1848, in Great Coates, Lincolnshire.

Esther Ann Borrell already had a son, John Borrell, bap. 22 Apr 1849, prior to marrying David. (DNA evidence from a descendant of John Borrell confirms that David Hinds was the father. John Borrell later married Elizabeth Jane Hawken or Hawkins in Canterbury, New Zealand in 1872; the couple had seven children and John died on 12 Feb 1886 in Waimakariri, Canterbury, New Zealand.)

A second son, Thomas Hinds, was born in 1850 D Quarter in CAISTOR Volume 14 Page 325, bap. 19 Jan 1852 in North Thoresby, Lincolnshire, but died in 1852.

In 1851, David Hinds (34) Farm Labourer, born in Ulceby, Lincolnshire, was living in Old Chapel Lane, Laceby, Lincolnshire, with Ann [Esther Ann] (24), born North Thorsby, Lincolnshire; Elizabeth Hinds (8), Richard Hinds (6), Wildan (sic) [John Weldon] Hinds (4), George Hinds (3), Tom Hinds (1) - undoubtedly an error and this child is actually John Borrell (b. 1849) - and Thomas Hinds (0). Also in the household was Margaret Borrell (14), Visitor (Esther Ann's sister). 

There's no record of a death of a David Hinds, however, the death of a George Hines (sic), aged 35, in 1851 D Quarter in CASTOR Volume 14 Page 193 and buried on 19 Dec 1851, in Laceby, has been suggested. Research found no George Hines (etc) of appropriate age living in the area whose death it could be, so I'm also convinced to accept it. The fact that [Esther] Ann had gone back to her home in North Thoresby, by the time of Thomas' baptism in Jan 1852, also makes me think that this death in the last quarter of 1851 must be relevant.

But as Esther was previously married to David Hinds, why was she again Borrell when she married the second time? This, I think, is unanswerable.

John and Esther Ann Paddison had two children:

1. Ann Paddison b. 9 Nov 1855 (GRO Reference: 1855 D Quarter in LOUTH Volume 07A Page 511), bap. 6 Aug 1856 in Louth, Lincolnshire.
2. George Paddison b. 1857 S Quarter in LOUTH Volume 07A Page 499, bap. 3 Jul 1857 in Raithby, Lincolnshire. Died aged 0 in 1857 S Quarter in LOUTH Volume 07A Page 344.

Esther Ann Paddison died, aged 30 on 4 Apr 1858 J Quarter in LOUTH Vol 07A Page 347 and was buried, on 6 Apr 1858. Lincolnshire Monumental Inscriptions (inferring that there is a stone) details that Esther Ann Paddison, wife of John Paddison was buried at St Peter's church, Raithby cum Hallington. The death of Esther Ann was also reported in the Lincoln Rutland and Stamford Mercury.

In 1861, John Paddison (26) Agricultural Labourer, Widowed, and daughter Ann (4) were living in Hallington, Lincolnshire, in the household of John's father, John Paddison (53) Shepherd, with his step-mother, Maria and brother, Joseph. John Borrell (11), was living in North Thoresby, with his maternal grandparents.

John Paddison remarried, on 9 Aug 1862, to Mary Ann Maplethorpe. This marriage too was announced in the Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury.

John and Mary Ann Paddison added another eight children:
