Hi everyone, George HARTLEY married Mary WILCOCKSON 21 Nov 1801 in Chesterfield, they had four children (William, John, Ann & Martha) - Mary buried 27 Jun 1809, George then married Elizabeth WATTS 15 Jan 1810 in Chesterfield, they had two children (George 1811 & Hannah 1813 both baptised in Chesterfield), have not found a buriel for George & his wife Elizabeth in or around Chesterfield. I now have a George & Elizabeth HARTLEY in West Retford, Ntts having two children baptised Henry 1818 and Harriet 1820. Have found a George 50 & Elizabeth 45 on 1841 in Worksop, Ntts both born out of county, on 1851 Census George is 59 (Blind) born Dronfield & Elizabeth 52 born Eckington. Have a death cert for George HARTLEY age 77 died 25 May 1859 in Worksop, the informant was a neighbour so no help there. Elizabeth was bur 1 Dec 1867 age 82 yrs in Worksop. But, I cannot find a baptism for George HARTLEY abt 1782 in Dronfield or surrounds. I have a baptism for Elizabeth (WATTS) 5 May 1780 in Chesterfield. I cannot prove that the couple I found in Worksop are my George & Elizabeth, but have not found any other George & Elizabeth, but, the fact that Elizabeth on the 1851 Census says she was born in Eckington would appear to be my Elizabeth, although the ages do not fit. I have searched many parishes around Chesterfield for George HARTLEY'S baptism but have not found one, have gone over the border into Sheffield and that area where there are numerous George HARTLEYS born about 1780. I have managed to track five of the eight children on Census. Happy hunting, Annette WATSON Lismore Australia
Hi Annette we have corresponded on this before - I have not found anymore trace of the children but did come across a baptism at Norton (only abt 3 miles from Dronfield) for a George Heurtley 30.8.1795 - dates are a bit out but it might be that he was baptised late - parents George and Jane. (found on familysearch).
