Looking for the burial of James Hazlett, Portrait Painter, died 1882 in Salford, the family seems to have used St Clements but I am not sure if this church has a burial ground or if there was a municipal cemetery in Salford,
Also looking for any further information on this family. His widow remarried in 1885 to a Henry Twigg.

Might be worth you contacting the church and see if they hold any records?

Or ask at Salford library ?

Hello Gillian
Free BMD has a James HAZLETT aged 43 yrs . Death registered in Chester March quarter 1882.None in Salford.
Just checking that you were aware . Would there be a possibility that he could be buried there?

Wow thanks very much for your replies. HOWMUCH will check out the Chester connection, as far as I am aware the family never left Salford, but he was quite an accomplished artist so maybe he was on a trip out.
-
I note that his wife Elizabeth was born Stockport, Cheshire and that in 1871 were living with his wife's family so there is definitely a Cheshire connection.
However, you state that Elizabeth remarried in 1885 but on the 1901 Census she is listed as Elizabeth Hazlett, widow i.e. no remarriage!!

This info is transcribed on the Lancashire OPC site where Elizabeth Hazlett had a child baptised at Salford St Clement:
Elizabeth married Henry Twigg at St Clements as well, also on the OPC (do a search for the surname Hazlett in Salford, they all come up)
Something to do with this family happened in 1884 as well, if you look at the baptism for John Willie Hazlett :
"19 Apr 1882 St Clement, Salford, Lancashire, England
John Willie Hazlett - Child of James Hazlett, deceased & Elizabeth
Born: 2 Mar 1877
Abode: 98 Oxford Street
Occupation: Artist
Notes: certificate 3rd Sepr. 1884 for ___sham? to 48 Rop__? R___? Lane"

RG12/32320/47/27
joseph twigg age 39. b. manchester. occ. furniture van driver. head
elizabeth age 40. b. stockport. wife
john.h.lowe age 72. b. salford. occ. clerk. father in law
martha.a.lowe age 68. b. salford. mother in law

james.h.twigg age 11. b. salford. occ. errand boy. son
emma twigg age 12. b. salford. daughter
living at;7,hulme street,salford,lancs
could this be your elizabeth
there is a john hazlett and a james hazlett on the 1881 census with james/elizabeth
their birthdates and birth places matches the john.w.twigg and james.h.twigg on this census
could this joseph twigg be henry and maybe something happens to him and elizabeth is widowed by 1901 and for some reason reverts to the name hazlett
the big question is her maiden name "lowe"
-
just seen the 1871 census and james hazletts parents in law were john and martha lowe
so the elizabeth twigg 1891 census posted is yours
-
and henry twigg is still alive in 1901
now using henry as name not joseph
1901
RG13/3741/136/10
mary jane paulson age 29. b. salford. head. (marr)(this is obviously the mary.j.twigg aged 19 on 1891 cernsus)
samuel paulson age 7. b. chester. son
jessie paulson age 4. b. salford. daughter
edwin thomas paulson age 2. b. chester. son
emma paulson age 8mnths. b. chester. daughter
henry twigg age 50. b. manchester. occ. furniture packer. father(wid)
living at;73 walton/halton street,manchester,lancs
so he is stating widowed as well. the marriage obviously broke down for some reason
wonder why he callled himself joseph in 1891?
-
Wow thanks everyone, I have found out that James died in the asylum in Chester, so the plot thickens this is certainly going to be an intresting family. I still need to find out where he is buried though and if I can find any of his paintings.
-
Wonder if this painting of Charles Dickens is one of his?

Hello Gillian
There is a gravestone for John Hazlett, Portrait Painter, who died May 9th 1837 aged 70 years, in St. Mary's parish church in the Market Place, Stockport. He is buried along with a family named Etchells.
Edward Etchells d.11-12-1794 46
Edward (son) d.4-6-1791 10 mths
William (son) d.2-5-1804 15
Robert Etchells d.23-3-1845 59
Mary (wife of Robert) d.15-9-1861 74
Caroline (dr.of Rbt & Mary) d.31-8-1837 9
Gideon Burton (son in law of Rbt & Mary) d. 29-1-1854 37
John Hazlett Portrait Painter d.9-5-1837 70
Edward Etchells was a Chapman. Gideon Burton was a Draper, Oldham Street, Manchester.
John Hazlett has no entry in St. Mary's parish records.
I am a local historian in Stockport and have transcribed the gravestones and allocated numbers to them and I often wondered who he was and how he ended up in Stockport.
Could you let me know anything about him. I am undertaking a second booklet of interesting gravestones and this one was on the list.
