Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Wadsley Asylum burial 1891

Wadsley Asylum did not have a graveyard. Instead bodies were buried at Wadsley Parish Church.

Wadsley Asylum, also known as South Yorkshire Lunatic Asylum and later Middlewood Hospital, had a designated burial ground at Wadsley Parish Church. Over 2,500 patients who died at the asylum between 1872 and 1948, and were not claimed by family, were buried in a mass grave there.

To me a mass grave is one in which a large number of people are buried who died at the same time or in a very short period of time. They may be buried in one single excavation. The burials from the Asylum were in individual plots over a period of more than 70 years and in this they do not differ from any other burial in the churchyard. Here is a google earth image of the Asylum section taken c2020 with parch marks showing rows and plots

As an aside... the birth of Harry appears as expected in the FreeBMD database, and on their site you can check the image of the original quarterly index. It clearly says Harry FOULDES.

*but*

In the more recent online version of the GRO Index, the one which has the mother's maiden name, there is only...

Steve posted the details of Herbert's baptism along with Julia's above. I can't find a baptism for Harry.

Cheshire / Re: cotton industry in Cheshire
« on: Thursday 27 August 20 00:42 BST (UK)  »
I don't remember trying the Spinning the Web website back in 2005 and I can't make it work now. I have asked a question about it on a Manchester Archives blog - I don't know if that will get anywhere.

I note that my 3xGt Grandfather Henry WATERHOUSE (on the family tree above) lived in Alderley Edge at the end of his life and died there in 1884. His wife Mary (nee CREWDSON) had died some years before in Didsbury

'Pedgree' refers to the Photographic Pedigree by R Seymour Benson which I cited in my old messages and also on the sketchy family tree above. The main volume was published in 1912 and there is a supplement published in 1912.

I can't find a complete version of these online though the Alamy image archive seems to have some, maybe all, the photographs.

Here are two scans of the relevant pages. The different  coloured text relates to the different generations.

This is a slightly udated version of the family tree I offered Suzy back in the day. The two generations at the bottom are the ones connected to Alderley Edge and there are photographs of them in the photographic pedigree. (The photos are passport size).

I also have a supplement to the pedigree which has additional photos of Lilian Dora BENSON nee CREWSON and her husband, as well as a son of John Wright and Nora who died of wounds on the Somme in 1916.

Wow thanks  :) That's an old thread! I'll pass this on to my sister-in-law in Canada who is the genealogist for my wife's family.

Are you interested in the Wovenden family?

...and the OED

tillet/tillot
" A kind of coarse cloth, used for wrapping up textile fabrics and (formerly) garments; also for making awnings."

apparently from Old French tellette - a wrapper of cloth
