Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Allen Chadwick was born before 4 Jul 1819 in Newton, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom (son of Samuel Chadwick and Mary Tomlinson); died before 16 Aug 1860 in Stalybridge, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom; was buried on 16 Aug 1860 in Dukinfield, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Occupation: Cotton Spinner
    • Residence: Jul 1819, Cockerhill, Stalybridge, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Baptism: 4 Jul 1819, Stalybridge, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Census: 30 Mar 1851, Stalybridge, Dukinfield Parish, ED of St. John, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Residence: 30 Mar 1851, No. 8 Grasscroft Road, Stalybridge, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom

    Notes:

    It is not clear if the reference to “Newton, Cheshire” for Allan Chadwick’s birthplace refers to the modern town of “Newton Wood” which lies between Dukinfield (to the north) and Hyde (to the south) along the river Tame or to the town of Newton near Chester. The former is much more likely because of its proximity to Glossop, where Allan Chadwick married Mary Firth, to Stalybridge where he lived until his death, and to Mottram in Longdendale where most of his elder siblings were christened.

    According to Robert Stanley Fairbanks in Fairbanks-1978], Allen Chadwick lived in Bridge End, Derbyshire, England at the time of his marriage to Mary Firth, but contemporary geographic records do not list a Bridge End (or even the more common “Bridgend”) in Derbyshire.

    The notations for source [England-1851a]’s at Ancestry.com list Lancashire as the county, but the Chadwick residence appears to have been on Grasscroft Road in Stalybridge, part of Cheshire. This is consistent other sources that place Allan Chadwick in, or around, Stalybridge at the time of his death.

    [LDS-VRI-1860a] actually lists Allen Chadwick’s place of burial as, “St. John, Dukinfield, Cheshire, England”. However it is not clear if this refers to St. John’s Church in Dukinfield, the parish church completed in the 1840’s or to the historical Ecclesiastical District of St. John. Further research is required. Although there is no question that the Allen Chadwick referred to in [LDS-VRI-1860a] is really the husband of Mary (Firth) Chadwick. First the burial records refers to “Leech St.” (in nearby Stalybridge) as location of the Allen’s death, the same street that Mary (Firth) Chadwick and her children were listed as living on in the next English census. Second, the age at death aligns with all known information about Allen.

    Allen married Mary Firth on 11 Dec 1842 in Glossop, Parish of Glossop, Derbyshire, England, United Kingdom. Mary (daughter of David Firth and Martha Shaw) was born on 18 Oct 1822 in Marsden, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom; died before 1903 in _______, _______, _______, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Mary FirthMary Firth was born on 18 Oct 1822 in Marsden, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom (daughter of David Firth and Martha Shaw); died before 1903 in _______, _______, _______, United States.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: Nov 1822, Sellars Clough, Marsden, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Baptism: 10 Nov 1822, Chapelry of Marsden, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Census: 6 Jun 1841, District 24, Dukinfield, Stockport, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Residence: Mar 1851, Stalybridge, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Census: 30 Mar 1851, Stalybridge, Dukinfield Parish, ED of St. John, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Residence: Apr 1861, Stalybridge, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Census: 7 Apr 1861, Stalybridge, Dukinfield Parish, ED of St. John, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Census: 13 Jun 1870, Town of Pembroke, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, United States
    • Census: 9 Jun 1880, Pembroke, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, United States

    Notes:

    According to [Fairbanks-1978], Mary Firth lived in Bridge End, Derbyshire, England at the time of her marriage to Allen Chadwick, but contemporary geographic records do not list a Bridge End (or even the more common “Bridgend”) in Derbyshire.

    Mary (Firth) Chadwick and her 2 daughters are enumerated in her father’s household in 1861 UK census, and she is listed as widowed.

    “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.

    A second set of census entries may exist for Mary (Firth-Chadwick) Hardy and her husband Joseph Hardy. On 11 Aug 1870, a Joseph and Mary Hardy, both born in England and having correct approximate ages, were enumerated in Ward 5, Lawrence, Essex County, Massachusetts. It appears that they may have been visiting Joseph Hardy’s son (by a previous marriage) and daughter-in-law. Mary and Joseph had already been enumerated in June in Pembroke, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, the location of the China Mill where Joseph worked with Mary’s son Samuel Lowe.

    • Census: 7 Apr 1861, Stalybridge, Dukinfield Parish, ED of St. John, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom

    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.

    The birth dates of David and Martha (Shaw) Firth and their four daughters were listed on a sampler embroidered by their daughter, Mary. Robert Stanley Fairbanks noted this fact and the dates in [Fairbanks-1978]. However, by the time of Ruth Edna (Tutein) Fairbanks’ death, that sampler had been lost. It has not been discovered in the years since.

    “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.

    The age listed for David Firth in both the 1851 and 1861 English census returns is consistent with [Fairbanks-1978]

    [England-1861a] has David Firth’s residence on “Leach Street”. The contemporary name for this is “Leech Street”, and Page 1 of that same source, lists the name correctly. The misspelling appears to be a census taker’s mistake.

    Residence:
    Nunber 48 Leech Street

    Residence:
    Number 20 Leech Street

    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]


  4. 7.  Martha Shaw was born on 24 Apr 1793 in Marsden, Yorkshire, England, Great Britain; died in ? in (unknown).

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: Oct 1820, Sellars Clough, Marsden, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Residence: Nov 1822, Sellars Clough, Marsden, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Census: 6 Jun 1841, District 24, Dukinfield, Stockport, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Residence: Mar 1851, Stalybridge, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Census: 30 Mar 1851, Stalybridge, Dukinfield Parish, ED of St. John, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Residence: Apr 1861, Stalybridge, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    • Census: 7 Apr 1861, Stalybridge, Dukinfield Parish, ED of St. John, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom

    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.

    “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.

    Residence:
    Number 48 Leech Street

    Residence:
    Number 20 Leech Street

    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.

    Married:
