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. [1, 4, 7]
- 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. [2]
- 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. [4, 5]
- [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. [5]
