Gorton, Manchester. 

  (h.4.2 ) g.1. James Marchington.1774. Sittinglow. First official mention of James is made in a court case against an  Ellis Dakin who stole clothing. James along with John Hall & Thomas Frost gave information to the court on the 19 Aug 1801 at Castleton. John & Thomas are stated as Miners of Castleton and James of Sittinglow. Ellis Dakin is of Castleton, a Weaver. DRO: Q/SB/2/1330 1332. There was another James Marchinton in Castleton at this time, he was married to a lady called  Needham and was from the Lead mining family of that area through to Amos Marchington.

James married Charity Potts on the 7th of November 1803 at Chapel en le Frith parish church, St Becket's. They were married by license due to Charity being a minor. Charity was baptised on the 17th Oct 1784 being the daughter of Edmund Potts of Dove Holes.  Charity's father Edmund Potts was buried on the  30th May 1807 age 55.  
James states on the marriage license that he his a butcher by trade. A John Walker attended with him to apply for the marriage license at Bakewell the cost being 15 shillings which seems a large sum. James signs the license in his own hand which is clear and neat and demonstrates the high educational system within Chapel parish to which the Marchingtons help to setup.
 James was the son of John & Grace Marchington of Sittinglow Chapel en le Frith. In the 1841Census it looks like James 7 Charitys age is incorrectley given which isn't unusual for the census enumerator to round of ages. The Potts were very much interbreed with the Marchington's around this time.

Their first child being Elizabeth Marchington, baptised: 20 May 1804. Obviously they married due to Charity being pregnant.
They had a further child baptised  at Chapel en le Frith on the 23 Apr 1809 being Marianne Marchington., also they had buried a child called Charity Marchington on the 8 Jun 1809 in Chapel.

It would seem they moved to the Abbey Hey area of Gorton, Manchester ( now Debdale park & reservoirs ) around 1804. The first mention of a baptism in the Gorton parish of James & Charity is at St James Parish church, Gorton.

Note: Searched the years from 1800-1889

29 Dec 1805. Grace Marchington, Daug of James & Charity Marchington of Gorton. Occ. Baker. Born 3rd Nov.
11 Oct 1807.  Charity Marchington, Daug of James & Charity Marchington of Gorton. Occ. Butcher. (Charity died in 1809).
Jan10th 1813. Ephraim Marchington, son of James & Charity Marchington of Gorton. Occ. Farmer. Born 26 Nov 1812 Who died on the 12 March 1844.
Also:
1818. Nancy Marchington. Who died age 2 on the 17 Dec 1820.

Total sum of possibly children: note; James must have had a son John as the family trend is to have one and that one is always the eldest son. There is a John in the area born c1801  but this cant be their son as the birth is 3 years before their marriage but could they have has this child out of wedlock?

James occupation is given as Baker and Butcher and later farmer. He may have owned a shop of some-sort or may have traveled the farms slaughtering animals on a kind of mobile business which was one of the methods of procurement at the time. Gorton at this time was still a rural area. In the tithe map of 1841 James is mentioned as owing certain parcels of land around the Abbey Hey area and a possible farm dwelling is show. (Hey' is an old word meaning 'enclosure' a place to gather & enclose animals a 'trap' used to drive animals for ease of  hunting). Manchester as it was then ended at what is now the Mancunium way flyover, but later Gorton came under its control. There was a growing Cotton industry forming in the Medlock valley area ( Mancunium way flyover). Which would attract many Marchington's and other to this area and the areas of Chorlton being roughly between Hyde rd - Ardwick green to Oxford Rd down to the Mancunium way flyover. The river Medlock which can still be seen at the Ardwick end of the fly over more or less follows the fly over underground, but it was before the building of the flyover viewable from the ground and would have been heavily lined with Mill buildings.

In a local history book called 'A History of Gorton & Openshaw' by Ernest France.  a reference is made to bull baiting on page 3. "In 1829 there were five bull baits in or near Gorton. One such being 'Marchingtons' in  Abbey Hey. 'Marchingtons' was a field owned by James Marchington, a brewer." Ernest France has in his possession many old photos of Gorton to which he kindly shown me. They show the Gorton area to be a rural area still in the late 1800's and early 1900's around the area of Abbey Hey.

So far, James has been mentioned as a Baker, Butcher, Farmer & Brewer! In the 1841 Tithe map of the Abbey Hey area, James owns some parcels of land around the Abbey Hey area stretching down to the now reservoirs and had obviously done well for himself, he did receive from his fathers Will of 1806 a sum of £30, which he may have invested in purchasing land and this would explain his varied occupations, not to mention that he may have been growing brewing crops and probably  specialised in breeding, slaughtering & butchery.  There was an old Tannery. 1  2 in Gorton which could have taken James hides. This was situated on Tan-yard Brow just of Hyde Road.

Savory St was in West Gorton just off Hyde road, and is now where the Mecca Bingo hall is. This picture shows what's left of  Son St which ran onto Savory St & from Birch St. The dilapidated shops on Hyde road show signs of  being of 1860 origin, and were probably the type of dwelling in that area at the time of these census returns.

the East End is used across the census and gives no number to the address, as such one would assume its the area of Manchester road being at the extreme of the area (eastside) next to the Ashton-u-Lynne area.
It looks like John & Haanah had lodgers. The given names were unclear Margaret black??? may be Blackman or Blackson the enumerator has crammed the writing to fit the box.  Either Hume occupation  and is unclear.

Hannah could have died in either Jan,Feb or March of 1868 recorded at Ashton given age 66 which matches the census given age. There is a recording for a John in Ashton too in the year 1863. The 1861 census would need to be checked to verify.
