1820 - ?| 1. | Maria Firth was born on 2 Oct 1820 in Marsden, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom (daughter of David Firth and Martha Shaw); died in ? in (unknown). Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: “Sellars Clough” is probably a reference to the modern “Cellars Clough”, an area along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal just to the northeast of Marsden along the A62 near Sparth Reservoir. This is the location of the Cellars Clough Mill, a woolen mill that opened in the late 19th century and was owned by brothers Samuel and Copper Firth. That Maria Firth was living at Sellars Clough, Marsden, Yorkshire with her family at the time of her younger sister’s baptism is inference based on lack of any evidence to the contrary. |
| 2. | David Firth was born on 26 Jan 1792 in Marsden, Yorkshire, England, Great Britain; was christened on 21 Jan 1793 in Marsden Chapel, Marsden, Yorkshire, England, Great Britain; died in ? in (unknown). Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: LDS Ancestral File submissions often connect this David Firth with the family of William Firth and Mary Lofthouse of Clayton, Yorkshire, but this is often based on source [WYAS-1792a] which has a christening date in mid-1792. Most evidence, though, indicates that our David Firth was instead the son of David Firth of Marsden, Yorkshire. First, this individual is unquestionably the father of Mary (Firth) Chadwick, as she is enumerated in his household in 1861, one year after the death of her husband, Allen Chadwick. This individual consistently listed his birthplace as “Marsden” in all English census records from 1841 through 1861. Duplicate christening records exist, both in Marsden and in Almondbury, for “...David son of David Firth. And finally, this individual was married to Martha Shaw in 1820 approximately 9 months before the birth of their eldest daughter, Maria. This fact is recorded in parish records that were originally held at All Hallows Cathedral, Almondbury, Yorkshire. David Firth of Clayton was married to Martha Wood fully 10 years earlier. David married Martha Shaw on 14 Feb 1820 in Parish of Almondbury, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. Martha was born on 24 Apr 1793 in Marsden, Yorkshire, England, Great Britain; died in ? in (unknown). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
| 3. | Martha Shaw was born on 24 Apr 1793 in Marsden, Yorkshire, England, Great Britain; died in ? in (unknown). Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: LDS Ancestral File submissions commonly list Martha Wood as the wife of David Firth. However, Martha Wood’s husband lived in Clayton, Yorkshire and was married in Bradford. Martha Shaw was married in the Parish of Almondbury, the records being kept in the same parish as the David Firth who lived in Marsden and who was christened at All Hollows Cathedral, Almondbury. Moreover, Martha Shaw and David Firth (of Marsden) married in 1820 which coincides with the birth of their eldest daughter, Maria. David Firth (of Clayton) and Martha Wood married a decade earlier. Notes: David Firth and Martha Shaw, were probably not married at All Hallows Cathedral nor even at Almondbury. Considering that they were known to both be living at a place called “Sellars Clough” near Marsden in 1820, they were probably married at the chapelry in Marsden.
