1818 A Joseph Harrison is listed as a hatter at Rycroft in Newcastle under Lyme in Parson and Bradshore Trade directory Staffordshire vol 1 1818. Family living with 2nd wife In 1843 when his daughter Martha married he gave his occupation as hatter and, if she was living with him until her marriage he lived at Hartshill. 1851 Joseph Harrison, aged 54, a hatter and provisions dealer, born Newcastle, married to Hannah, 44 from Stoke is living at 37 George Street, Newcastle with children Hannah 16 (Newcastle) , David 11(Newcastle) , a potter's boy, Donald 9, a scholar (Wolstanton), Jesse (?), 6, a scholar, Josiah 3 months (both born in Newcastle) and a lodger, 21 year old shoemaker Jospeh Russel. (HO107/2001 page 11) HARRISON, DAVID BARKER HOLLENSHEAD Donald is likely to be James Donald Harrison HARRISON, JESSE HOLLINSHEAD HARRISON, JOSIAH HOWARD HOLLINSHEAD If this is the right family and Joseph and Hannah are the parents of Martha, Hannah would have been only 17 at the time of Martha's birth. However it is possible that Hannah is Jospeh's second wife and Martha's mother had died, or that 17 was not then young to have a child. Further research indicates that Joseph was widowed when he married Hannah and his first wife was Elizabeth Hodson: Children with 1st wife Is this possible record of daughter's birth? Other children christened to same parents at the same chapel are: Information from the marriage certificate of Martha (witnesses and related searches based on them) suggest that Joseph may also have had an older daughter Mary, who marrried Elijah Cartlidge in 1838. She was of full age suggesting birth not later than 1817. Her age on 1841 census was 20 (20-24). As Enoch was born in 1817 it is most likely she was born in 1816 but I have not found a baptism entry. I have found two other baptism records for children of Joseph Harrison, hatter, and Elizabeth registered in Newcastle parish church: Charles (1815) and Enoch (1817). Are the parents Jospeh Harrison and Elizabeth Hodson. Date of marriage suggests they could be. The list of children with parents Jospeh and Elizabeth Harrison has an unexplained gap between the first three and the birth of Martha. It is possible that there are two Joseph and Elizabeth Harrison couples where the occupation was hatter and that the older three are cousins or no relation at all. The family mentioned in the will of John Harrison (see below) is linked to Charles. If the older three are Joseph's children then Joseph is the son of the John Harrison who died in 1819, but there is still no clarity on his birth or whether his mother was Ann or Hannah. There were so many hatters in Newcastle at the time it is quite possible there were two families of Joseph and Elizabeth Harrison matching the same description, An Elizabeth Harrison, age 42, was buried in Newcastle on 24 Jan 1838. Joseph must have remarried within the year to Hannah Hollinshead. The most likely marriage record is 1838 Q3 Congleton vol19/p71 which shows both Jospeh and Hannah. Death Possible parents and birth Will of John Harrison (d 1819) A John Harrison, hatter of Newcastle died on 28 August 1819 and his will (signed by himself) was proved on 18 Jan 1820. His executors were his wife Hannah and son John ( a tailor). He also mentions other children Joseph and Mary. If this is the same John then he must have remarried as the name of his wife was Ann and not Hannah, but the occupation is relevant as Jospeh was a hatter. Unable to find death and remarriage so maybe the above baptism is incorrect. A John Harrison, potter from Stoke, married Hannah Day on 11 March 1782 at St Giles, Newcastle under Lyme. Both made their mark. |
