To give some impression of timeline (you forgot to mention any dates? ;D), this is the 1891 census:

Reference RG12, Piece 4612, Folio 14, Page 7
Great Western Inn, Mount Pleasant, Ruabon, Denbighshire

Pemberton, Robert  Head  Widower  M  56  Brewer  b Ruabon
Pemberton, Alfred E  Son  M  22  Shunter  b Ruabon
Pemberton, Ellen  Daughter-in-Law  F  26  b Ffrwd, Denbighshire
Jones, Jemmima  Visitor  F  11  b Summer Hill, Denbighshire

Earlier censuses have him born Erbistock (just outside of Ruabon) circa 1833. I'm not sure if I have the registers and  he's away from home on the 1851, so not showing with parents.

The 1841 for that area is missing - to save Kevin and Isobel from searching for it

Gnu - Thanks for the heads-up!
Isobel - We still don't know which century, so either of us may be on the right track?!  ;D

I only see a death for a later one in Marleybone so will stick to the older one for the moment!

Either of these might be his parents in 1851

Crymball, Eyton  ( Eyton is close to Ruabon and Erbistock)
HO107/2502/465/9

Robert Pemberton, 66. farmer of 12 acres, b. Codington, Cheshire
Elizabeth, wife,56, laundress, b. Ruabon
Hanna Griffiths, 18 house servant, b. Erbistock
Jane Roden, 16 -do-, b. -do-

or

Rhyddallt, Ruabon
HO107/2503/44/6

John Pemberton, 63, farm bailiff, b. Codington, Cheshire
Mary, 53, b. Ruabon
Thomas, s, 25, sawyer
Catherine, d, 23, dress maker
John, s, 20, smith
George, s, 14, ag lab.

All children born Erbistock

There may be others but can't see any other likely ones on a first go around.

There seem to be a pocket of Pembertons  b. Coddington.



gnu


added (12.19pm) - from the 1871 census RG10/5652/25/12 , his first son looks as if it was John so the second one looks the more likely.  In 1861, a brother, Thomas, 35, was living with him so i think that the John and mary look correct.

Death of Mrs Pemberton - We record the death of Mrs Pemberton of the Great Western Railway Inn, which took place on Christmas Day, in her 59th year. The remains were interred in the New Cemetery on 28th ult

Maybe he married again  ::)

Added - this one was Rosina Pemberton, Dec q, 1899, Wrexham 11b 184 so he must have re-married

From the 1881, RG11/5512/28/3 ,  his wife was a Mary A, aged 47 and b, Ruabon

Hello  Roger   ;D

Just to add that if it is the one that Isobel found, b. 1941, then he shouldn't be discussed as he might well be still alive.

He's not all that much older than me  ;D ;D ;D :-X :-X :-X

Summary of what we've found so far, if the one that Kevin and I have located is correct:

b.c 1833, Erbistock. Parents: possibly  John and Mary (see 1861)

Garden Servant  in 1851 HO107/2503/55/4

Marriage to Mary Ann Jones. Sept q, 1855

Gardener in Church Street, Ruabon in 1861 - RG9/4280/15/8. Children - John, 4, Edward, 1 (not sure about Edward - is he Robert's son of Thomas's  :-\)
Also there is brother,  Thomas 35*  so the John and Mary as parents looks like it's correct  :)

Railway Inn, Pontadam in 1871 RG10/5652/25/12 Children - John, Flora, Robert, Lily, Alfred

Pontadam in 1881 RG111/5512/28/3 - Lily becomes Elizabeth, I think

Daughter Flora marries Price Owen June 10 1878 at Rhosymedre. Father listed as Robert Pemberton, brewer.

Wife Mary Ann dies in 1887

Great Western Inn in 1891 RG12/4612/14/7 - a widower

Marries Rosina Wilson in 1892

Rosina dies 25 Dec 1899

Pontadam in 1901 RG13/5216/39/2

Robert dies Sept q, 1901.

Added - Hello Kevin - I did wonder where you'd got to  ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Robert L Pemberton The Great Western Inn Ruabon wrexham
Post by: despair on Friday 28 October 11 15:02 BST (UK)
Thanks for the warning/general point but in this case it seems safe to say the three are(all surname Pemberton)

Alfred Edward            1884(start of service date)
Thomas                    1885        ditto
John Ernest Pulford    1895        ditto

There is a further unspecified Pemberton listed as Wrexham  1914

(for gnu-perhaps there is a reasonable chance that the family of interest is related to the family of Godfrey Pemberton,the policeman in the Jacob Davies thread.He and his parents lived in The School House Ruabon in the 1851 census if I remember correctly)

Are the ones from the GWR list - you don't give a source  :-\

I was wondering about Godfrey, Roger but I can't find any links. Haven't checked the early censuses for him though - Have you got the 1861? (Don't get side tracked though  ;D  )

I recall that there were Pembertons in the area when I was a lass and older so I don't think that they were all  related.

Just checked Godfrey on the 1851 and 1861 and don't see a relationship. I see that William (father) was b. Wrexham circa 1818.

Yes,they are all Great Western as per my original post.Alfred Edward's employment seems to cover1884-1895.Can't get any more info-I only had some residual "pay as you go" views from my own enquiries.

Thanks for replying. Robert L Pemberton was my great great grandfather I did not know he had been married twice.  GNU is right about Robert's father being John Pemberton who was born in Coddington Cheshire in 1789 and died 1870 he married Mary Pulford (born about 1797) in Ruabon Wrexham she died in 1859.  By 1851 they had five children. Thomas baptised 5 March 1825.  Caroline baptised 30 December 1827 she died 16 July 1851 aged 23.
John baptised 27 February 1831 he died on 26 february 1856 in Oldham Lancs aged 25.  Robert L. baptised 14.4.1831 died 10 August 1901 at The Great Western Inn Ruabon.  George born about 1833 he died on 9 January 1903 Rhosymadoc aged 66.
Every bit of information helps.   Thanks TAE

Was looking up the Great Western Inn after seeing it on a headstone in the Ruabon Cemetery (I'd never heard of it). Here is the inscription or as much of it as I could read:

Sacred to the memory of George Robert son of Robert & Mary Ann Pemberton who departed this life August 8th 1864 aged 12 months

Also Edward, son of the above, who departed this life Octr 15th 1868 aged 9 years

Life hangs upon a slender thread
No sooner out than we are dead
So boast not mortal of thy might
Alive at noon and dead by night

Also in affectionate remembrance of Mary Ann, the beloved wife of Robert Pemberton, Great Western Inn Ruabon, who fell asleep in Jesus May 4th 1887 aged 54 years and was interred on May 7th

Also of the above Robert Pemberton died August 7th 1901 aged 68 years

Rosina, his wife died 25th December 1899 aged 59(?) years [may be 58 years].
