Hi Folks Happy New Year. Sorry we have been quiet for a while but here is an update date on our research. We can now definately confirm all the following: Eli Pearson Tetley born 31st August 1868 Mother Harriet Tetley formerly Rhodes (wife of Mark Tetley who died 1864) Father Eli Pearson (we beleive he died in 1890 but not verified this yet) He married Annie Marion Thompson 22nd October 1903. These are Steve's grandparents and they had three children including Steve's father. A chance sighting of an entry in the Undercliffe cemetery records on these Archives has turned up some more information. The entry reads: 47. TETLEY Herbert Pearson infant of Bradford East Ref No 26043 date 1892 Herbert Pearson Tetley's birth certificate shows: born 25th April 1891 Father Eli Pearson Tetley Mother Margaret Ellen Tetley formerly Crowley He died in January 1892 and is buried in the plot of Jeremiah Crowley This means that Steve's grandmother was Eli's second wife. Another avenue for us to research. Sue and Steve Tetley

Hi Bill, Thanks so much for this most interesting email. It has certainly made it a "Happy New Year" for me! Your explanation of the geography of the area is most enlightening. What is means is that someone baptised at St Leonard, Middleton could probably legitimately claim to be born in Rochdale on the census. So I'm now a lot happier about the location problem (I'll get on to the date problem in a moment). In other words, when 'my' Nanny TETLOW gave her place of birth as Rochdale, it doesn't rule her out from being the same Nanny TETLOW who was baptised in Middleton. The question of the dates is a little worrying though. As you know, it's not uncommon for ages to be a year or two out, but four years seems like a lot of discrepancy. It is possible, as you say, that Nanny could have been born out of wedlock in 1803, then baptised after her parents' marriage in 1807. However, at that time period, it would be unusual for a child to go unbaptised for four years (unusual, but certainly not impossible: 14% of people in England were unbaptised in the 1820's, for example). The vicar would also usually note acidly in the register that the child had been born out of wedlock, and give the child its mother's surname. Now, if Nanny really had been BORN in 1807 and married in 1827, then she would have been less than 21 years of age at her wedding. This means that her parents would have had to give permission. The marriage record should contain some words like "with consent of father William" or just "with consent of parents". Does the marriage record have such an annotation? Another possibility is that Nanny's family were non-conformists (ie. not members of the Church of England). Nanny's daughter, Peggy TURNER, was married in West Street Baptist Chapel, Rochdale in 1861. Perhaps Nanny's family were Baptists too. Is there any history of non-conformity in the TETLOW family in this area? To answer your question about the censuses, I did not record the reference numbers of the census entries (an oversight on my part, and something that I ALWAYS do nowadays!) :-) However, with a street index, it might be possible to find them relatively easily. They lived in Stoneyfield, Castleton. In 1851, Abraham TURNER was living at 8 Stoneyfield, Castleton and is wife was incorrectly recorded as Mary (I know that it is the correct family since the children are "correct" and there was only one Abraham TURNER in Stoneyfield). In 1861, the family were at 13 Stoneyfield, Castleton and Abraham's wife is correctly recorded as Nanny. I don't have a transcript of the 1841 census, but the family were living in Stoneyfield in June 1840, when my 2g-grandmother Peggy was born. So I assume that they were still in Stoneyfield in 1841. I would be enormously grateful if you could check the census records for me. Perhaps the ages are incorrect, or there may be someone living with the TURNER family in 1841 who can connect them with the TETLOW family (eg. Nanny's mother or father). We are sure that the Nanny who married Abraham TURNER is my ancestor, now it's a matter of working out if she is the same, or different, from the Middleton Nanny TETLOW. So, as I see it, there are four possibilities: (a) They are the same woman, and my ancestor was just confused about her true age (she was illiterate and so, possibly, innumerate too) (b) They are the same woman, and my ancestor deliberately mis-stated her age (married under-age, perhaps?) (c) They are the same woman, but the 1807 baptism was late for some reason (eg. illegitimacy of the child) (d) They are different women, and my Nanny was baptised in some non-conformist church, or not baptised at all From the size of your database, it would seem unlikely that a TETLOW family has been "missed". Do you have any other suggestions? I have one more query (I apologise for asking so many favours, but this is the most progress I've made on this line in years!). Could you possibly check the marriage records of the siblings of the Middleton Nanny, to see if anyone surnamed TURNER was a witness (principally Abraham or Nanny [or Ann])? If Mrs Ann TURNER was a witness at the wedding of a sibling of the Middleton Nanny [Ann] TETLOW, then this would be a tangible link. Finally, I'd like to give something back on the TETLOW line. Has anyone transcribed the TETLOW entries in the Rochdale Cemetery Index 1855-1990? If not, I could hire the microfilm (which was just released last year) and do the transcriptions, then send them to this mailing list. Please let me know if you think that this would be generally helpful. Thanks once again for all your help. I look forward to hearing from you again. And a Happy New Year to all on this list! :-) Regards, Cathy Day of Canberra, Australia Family History in India http://members.ozemail.com.au/~clday/ WLDowdell@aol.com wrote: > Hi Cathy, > > Firstly, A Happy New Year. > > Secondly, I've been doing a one name study on the TETLOW surname for > over 25 years. > > Thirdly, oh dear!

Hello List, This is my first message to this list, so I thought I should introduce myself. I am the 3g-granddaughter of Ann TETLOW, also known as Nanny. According to the 1851 and 1861 censuses, she was born in Rochdale in 1803. In 1827, she married Abraham TURNER at Prestwich, Lancashire (I was just given this information today - thankyou to Richard Tetley [Notts], Bill Dowdell and David Tetlow). Ann did not have any occupation recorded in the censuses or her burial record, but her husband was a handloom weaver. She had five children who all became power loom weavers. The family lived in Stoneyfield, Castleton, Rochdale. Ann died in 1861 and is buried in Rochdale Cemetery on Bury Road. If anyone has a connection with Ann (or Nanny) TETLOW of Rochdale, I would love to hear from them. Any other information on this elusive ancestor of mine would be greatly appreciated. Regards, :-) Cathy Day of Canberra, Australia Family History in India http://members.ozemail.com.au/~clday/

Hi Cathy, Firstly, A Happy New Year. Secondly, I've been doing a one name study on the TETLOW surname for over 25 years. Thirdly, oh dear! My information on Nanny Tetlow who married Abraham Turner may be incorrect. My assumption is based on the information which you have just provided namely that Nanny/Ann was born circa 1803. The Nanny, who I have married to Abraham Turner, was baptised on the 25th of October, 1807 (her date and place of birth is unknown) at St. Leonard, Middleton and was the daughter of William Tetlow and Martha Scholes. The problem is that William & Martha were married on 27th June, 1807! This is 4 years after Nanny was born. Unfortunately of my 19,271 Tetlows in my files, I have no other Nanny/Ann born circa 1803 that is unaccounted for. It is possible that Nanny was born out of wedlock and William & Martha waited until they were officially married before having Nanny baptised however, I find that a bit remote. Do you happened to have the reference numbers of the 1851 & 1861 censuses? I could then have a look/see for myself at my next session at the LRO (Lancashire Record Office). I could have a look at the 1841 census as well. As for the marriage of Nanny & Abraham Turner, the church records were not very informative prior to 1837. The witnesses, John Grimshaw & Abraham Kay were more than likely church officials as the appear lots of time as witnesses. My wife's ancestors, she was a TETLOW and 3rd cousin, 3 times removed from Nanny! They were from the Thornham area and later of Castleton and they were all baptised at St. Leonard, Middleton. If you look at the church records for St. Leonard's, Middleton, you will find that most people living in what was known as Lower Castleton, which was part of Rochdale (actually, it was the other way around, Rochdale was part of Castleton), were baptised at St. Leonard. Those living in Nearer Castleton were baptised at St. Chad, Rochdale. William T. & Martha Scholes had 13 children, Nanny being the eldest followed by Mary, Betty, Sarah, George, Edward, Abraham, Alice, John, Joseph, Catharine Mary, Martha, & Ruth. If you have any queries please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do me best. Regards, Bill Dowdell

R tetley wrote: > Zion Chapel Morley > I.L.M.O the late John Tetley of Morley second son of George & Sarah Tetley of Bradford who died 30 June 1866 aged 30 years page 19 I think that this chap is the son of George Tetley (1809-) and Sarah Horsfall (1814-), but it is slightly worrying that George & Sarah lived at Morley, not Bradford (unless they moved to Bradford later.) I have it that John married Elizabeth Birkenshaw in 1859, at which time he was recorded as living in Horton. They later had a son George, in 1860, in Bradford. It seems, from this, that he went back to Morley before he died. I'm concerned that all the info doesn't match exactly, and that I have two different Johns mixed up.

Hi Folks I've been barred from my P.C till after the festive season So A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR Richard (Yorkshire)

As listowner, I'd just like to thank everyone who has contributed to the list during the year. I've certainly learned a lot about the Tetley, Tetlow, Titley, Tatley etc. family history. There's still a long way to go before we link up all the families that we already know about. There's even more work to do, before we work out how the variants of the names are linked (or not!). It should keep us out of mischief, for a while! May I wish everyone a Happy Christmas, and despite these uncertain times, a peaceful New Year. my best regards to all, Richard Tetley (The one in Notts, and, I think I can claim to be, the youngest 'Richard', in the present company! <g>) -- Born in Sheffield, but currently in Nottingham UK.

The head, Frederick W Tetley, was my g-grandfather. The one-year-old, also called Frederick William Tetley, was my grandfather, who worked his way up to be the technical director of a Sheffield Steel firm. As I understand it, in those days, you could join the lectures at the Sheffield University in the evenings, on payment of a small fee. The fee was something in the order of tuppence. Through attending these evening lectures, and self study, he became the works chemist and eventually chief metallurgist, then later, technical director. A relatively shy man, he taught himself public speaking, and became an authority on the design of permanent magnets. He was involved in the development of ceramic magnets, which are now found in loudspeakers and all sorts of applications for magnets, all over the world. He was a determined man, our Fred! Alice lived into her nineties. Thomas and Frank emigrated to New Zealand, a few years after this census was taken. John Arthur T became an insurance agent and lived in Sheffield all his life. Fred & Polly moved to Stocksbridge, about 1916, where Fred worked at Sammy Foxes (the local steel works). Note that the father of all this lot, and Lucy's husband, William Tetley (1844-1921), is missing. He was living with 'The Widow Wells' who he subsequently married.

Thanks for this Bill. I should have spotted that the High Hoyland Tetlows and the Skelmanthorpe Tetlows would be related! I used to live in the same valley as High Hoyland! I lived at Cawthorne for a few years.
