Jonh Marchington 1829-Halsteads

1.1 John Marchington.Bpt on the 26 Oct 1829 at Halsteads . Oldest son of John Marchington.1801 & Hannah Hallam.1801 *of Halstead Farm.

John & his brother Joseph carried on the family farm after the death of their father in 1869. Both were farming 30 acres of land each, so it is evident that the farm land at least was split between them. In the 1881 census, Joseph's wife, Martha  is stated as farming 20 acres at Halstead. After the death of Joseph..

In  1880 John is recorded as owning 34 acres of land at Hallsheads with a gross estimated rent value of  �218 & 11 s.   His brother Samuel is recorded as owning  12 acres of land with a gross estimated rent value of �23 & 4 s. Samuels holding being regarded at the time of a small holder rather than farmer. Joseph is not mention as owning any land in the register how ever in the 1881 census his wife is a farmer of 22 acres. Therefore John's fathers estate could have been 68 acres in size. Possibly the 22 acres which Martha, Joseph's held being rented land.

John Married  Ann Bagshaw.  possible in late 1854 possible after the birth of the first child as there is no other John registered as married some 4 years before the birth of their first child. Ann Bagshaw was of  Hollinknowl farm, Chapel en le Frith.       .DOB c1830.

Having spoken with Margaret Ann we have come to the conclusion that John Samuel 'her great grandfather, spent a  holiday on the Isle of Man and being a tailor he inevitably took an interest in tailor shops on the island, no doubt to keep up with what the competition was doing, as such he must have meet his future wife while 'checking the competition', as Sarah Emily was working as a 'hat maker'.
