1841 and 1851 living with parents Christening record from St James, Newchapel parish record (Archive ref D3544/1/4 page 299) shows that Martha Mainwering was christened on 23 June 1833. Her father is identified as Adam , a potter, and her mother as Hannah, although this is before their marriage. Newchapel parish records also identify Hannah as the mother of Mary, Martha's older sister. The marriage date of 1834 for their parents may be wrong or maybe her parents lived together for a while before marriage - did that happen at that time? Or Adam had two wives both named Hannah! Martha married William Marsh, son of William Marsh, at St Margaret’s Wolstanton on 20th March 1852. Her father is named as Adam. The age for both is merely given as “of full age”, i.e. 21 or more. The William we have identified however, would have been only 19 or 20 years old. He may have deliberately overstated his age, as on the next census in 1861 he gives his age as 28, and his age remains consistent across the census history. William signed his name but Hannah made her mark. William’s occupation is forgeman. William Marsh senior is identified as a carter, Adam Mainwaring is described as a fireman the witnesses were Thomas Hargreaves and Susanna Mainwaring (Martha’s sister). Susanna made her mark and Thomas signed his name. They were married after banns by the curate John Smith. (The occupation fireman is likely to refer to someone stoking the fires for the bottle oven kilns in the pottery industry, not a fire fighter. The job was difficult and caused respiratory problems and often lead to premature death although Adam seemed to live to an old age for the time) 1861-1901 See notes for William Marsh, spouse Note: 1881 census gave birth place as Newcastle but 1891 said Tunstall. The parish record of her chritening gave “abode” as Tunstall. Martha Mainwaring identified as mother of Hannah Marsh from Hannah's birth certificate. Death record for Martha Marsh aged about 67, dob estimated 1834, in Q2 1901 Wolstanton 6b 69. |
