Coal Mining: South Yorkshire

Published: May 17, 2005    Last modified: May 22, 2022

Both my grandfather Wilfred JACKLIN 1896-1967 and great grandfather Daniel JACKLIN 1862-1953 worked the South Yorkshire coalfield. I am still trying to ascertain at which colliery or collieries they were employed, and for how long. There were several collieries in this area though transport would be an issue so presumably they would have worked reasonably close to home. This map courtesy of the Coal Mining Resource Centre details the South Yorkshire coalfield. Daniel JACKLIN (JACKLEN) aged 18 years appears on the England and Wales Census 1881, living and working as a labourer for Richard EARNSHAW on a farm of 62 acres at Crayke, North Yorkshire. By the time of the England and Wales Census 1891, Daniel (now age 28 years) has moved south to Bradley Yard, Aston-cum-Aughton, Rotherham, West Riding of Yorkshire, married Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949 at the Church of All Saints, Aston-cum-Aughton, and is now working as a coal miner.

Could Vincent ALLEN be John ALLEN's younger brother?

While researching my previous 2 posts re: Zillah ALLEN, I came across this record (which as it turns out, I already have) from the England and Wales Census 1891. It records Daniel JACKLIN 1862-1953 and Ziller JACKLIN (née ALLEN) 1858-1949 living at Aston-cum-Aughton so I decided to browse through some of the other households in the same area with a hunch that other members of the family may have relocated to the same area in order to find work in the coal mines. I eventually found this entry:

FHJ Ref: 013

According to this entry Sarah BUTROID was born in Little Gringley, Nottinghamshire, England. Intuition told me that this could well be Sarah BUTROID (née Sarah ALLEN).

An online search eventually produced the result I had expected:

Marriages in the district of East Retford for the period Dec 1884: Jesse BUTROID married Sarah ALLEN.

The dates are what I would expect.My only concern now is that some of the children I have linked to John ALLEN 1831- of Little Gringley, Nottinghamshire, England are still based on conjecture.

Zillah Allen: Forum message: Update

I was a little quick off the mark with my previous post. The email address I replied to was indeed 'live' and I received a speedy reply. Unfortunately it became clear that we have two different families here, though I image if we go a little further back in time they will undoubtedly be closely linked.

Having checked the England and Wales Census 1891 there are indeed two Zillah ALLENs recorded in Nottinghamshire:

FHJ Ref: 012

The census record above shows a Zillah ALLEN at Carlton, Nottinghamshire.

The other is my great grandmother Ziller JACKLIN (née ALLEN) 1858-1949, who at this time was still single and living with her sister-in-law at East Drayton, Nottinghamshire, England.

Frederick Cutts and Hannah Cutts (neé Hannah Allen)

I found a reference to Little Gringley, Nottinghamshire, England on Treetonweb1891 Census. This page records an entry transcribed from the England and Wales Census 1891 for the CUTTS household in Treeton, Rotherham, Yorkshire, England and lists:

FHJ Ref: 011
Census: England and Wales Census 1891
Place: 19 Mill Lane, Treeton, Rotherham, Yorkshire, England
Household: Frederick Cutts

CuttsLilyDaughterFemale3Treeton, Yorkshire

To view this table full width please click here.

Little Gringley being the birthplace of Hannah CUTTS (neé Hannah ALLEN) and with Little Gringley being a sparsely populated hamlet, this could well be a clue worth saving for research into the ALLEN family. The village of Treeton is only a few miles from Aston-cum-Aughton and Swallownest where Daniel JACKLIN and Ziller JACKLIN (née ALLEN) lived after they were married.

The Treetonweb site is well worth browsing as it contains many interesting historical facts about the coal mining area Daniel and Ziller relocated to, presumably for Daniel to find work in the local coal mines.

Updates:
2017-10-12 The Treetonweb web site has been down for quite some time and is most likely 'dead'.

I discovered a couple of other ALLEN households where the birthplace is recorded as Clarborough, Nottinghamshire:

Daniel Jacklin 1862-1953

Published: April 26, 2005    Last modified: February 2, 2017

An online search for Daniel JACKLIN 1862-1953 (my paternal great grandfather) lead me to a redundant link; fortunately the cached pages were available. These pages are a transcription of the England and Wales Census 1891.

I feel sure I have retrieved this entry before, either way a new search provides this record:

FHJ Ref: 007
Census: England and Wales Census 1891
Place: Bradley Yard, Aston With Aughton, Rotherham, Yorkshire
Household: Daniel Jacklin

SURNAMEFIRST NAME(S)RELSTATUSSEXAGEOCCUPATIONWHERE BORNREMARKS

JacklinZillerWifeMarriedF32Gringley, Lincolnshire
AllenElizabethNieceSF9Gringley, Lincolnshire
Note: Gringley, Lincolnshire ought to be Little Gringley, Nottinghamshire

To view this table full width please click here.

I know Daniel JACKLIN 1862-1953 and Ziller JACKLIN (née Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949) lived at Aston-cum-Aughton before moving to the Darnall area of Sheffield, but now I have the actual address. Even more interesting is the record of Elizabeth ALLEN 1861-Deceased 9 (niece), I guess when I can find the time it will be of value to establish Elizabeth's parents.

This entry records both Ziller and Elizabeth having been born at Gringley, Lincolnshire; other records show Ziller having being born at Little Gringley, Nottinghamshire. This is somewhat confusing! The two villages are only a few miles apart and I seem to recall my father speaking of relatives living at Gringley-on-the-Hill and at nearby Everton.

As usual a great deal more research is required.

Sarah Ann Bellamy

Published: April 15, 2005    Last modified: November 7, 2016

Continuing my search for a BELLAMY and a ROTHERHAM I found a marriage entry that includes both.

Marriages September 1881
BELLAMY Sarah Ann, Sheffield
PETTY William Toyne, Sheffield
ROTHERHAM Frederick, Sheffield
SMITH Lucy Anne, Sheffield

I think I can safely assume that Sarah Ann BELLAMY and Frederick ROTHERHAM married, gave birth to a son Frederick ROTHERHAM, and the grandson was included in the England and Wales Census 1891 of his grandparents' household.

My earlier search that established a link to Richard ROTHERHAM and Frances Lily ELLIS still provides plenty of intrigue!

Updates:

Frederick Rotherham

Published: April 15, 2005    Last modified: May 22, 2022

The England and Wales Census 1891 records Frederick ROTHERHAM living with George Albert BELLAMY and Emily BELLAMY and classified as 'grandson'. While trying to establish a marriage between a ROTHERHAM and a BELLAMY I came across this entry:

Marriages March 1891
ELLIS Frances Lily, Ecclesall Bierlow
GALVIN Thomas Saywell, Ecclesall Bierlow
HEATHCOTE Eleanor, Ecclesall Bierlow
ROTHERHAM Richard, Ecclesall Bierlow
THOMPSON Elizabeth, Ecclesall Bierlow

I feel sure I have heard my mother mention the name Frances Lily ELLIS so it may prove interesting to research this entry to see if there is a link between Richard ROTHERHAM and Frances Lily ELLIS.

It is a while since I wrote this post and I had to spend a few hours getting my head around this line of the family. I now have access to the 1901 British Census returns for George Albert BELLAMY born circa 1880 which has confirmed some of my research, though anything further back than this is still unconfirmed.

Do you have any further details regarding Richard or Frederick ROTHERHAM? I am still a little confused as to my train of thought at this time and any details you have may help disentangle some of the notes I made.
