Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Daniel Kirk, Loughborough?

I have just found this from the historical newspapers.  Do you know anything about ... Elliott Esq.?
I wonder if this was Daniel Kirk junior.  He was still alive at this time and about 48 years old. 

I was not able to paste the whole contents but it was about Carrington Horticultural Society which held their annual Autumn Show in the National School room in Carrington. 

British Newspapers 1710-1950 

Publication:Nottinghamshire Guardian
Publication date:Thursday 20 October 1853
Article text:"judges, Mr. Daniel Kirk, gardener to — Elliott, Esq., Daybrook, and Mr. John Grundy, Snenton. Robbery in Canal Street. — During the night of Sunday last, three strikes of barley were stolen from premises in Canal Street, the property of Mr. John Thorpe Notintone"

Going back to my original request regarding information on Daniel Kirk and his son of the same name, has anyone got any ideas where the two of them would have been employed as gardeners in Loughborough?   I have tried delving into Loughborough`s history online but perhaps you locals know more about life in the 19th century.  Were there any large estates, stately homes or rich families who they may have been working for?  Could they have worked in the old Rectory Garden?   I have read that the population in 1801 was about 4,500.

This is getting more and more confusing.  Your offer to check Loughborough records Diddy, is it meant for me or MussonKnowles? 

It seems as if there were two Kirk families in Loughborough who attended either All Saints or Emmanuel.  I don`t know if these two churches are CofE.  Are they situated near each other in Loborough?  I don`t think there were ever any Roman Catholic connections with my family.

Has anybody been able to trace Sarah Kirk 1813  on the 1841 Census?  I have drawn a blank.

Thanks Diddy.  I have been doing a little research this evening based on all the information I have received.  I looked at the 1841 Census image of Daniel Kirk junior (his wife is missing for some reason - I thought she died in 1842) -  and was amazed to find other familiar names on the page.  Smedley, Cooper and Spray.  All these surnames appear in my tree.  It can`t possibly be just a coincidence.   ???

Sarah (COOPER)  Kirk`s  stepdaughter daughter Sarah Mansfield Hallam married John Smedley.  Their daughter Mary Ann married Joseph Spray.    I find it all most odd.  Wish I had more time to get my head round this lot.

Sorry, but I am a newcomer to this forum and find it a bit confusing, especially when things are abbreviated.  I went on a wild goosechase last night looking for Janet Kirkby.

Does this refer to Elizabeth Kirk (nee COOPER) and not Kirkby?

Hi Diddy,
Many thanks for all your help.  Unfortunately a lot of the information is so vague with no definite links and I don`t even  know if it is the correct Kirk family.

One thing did strike me though was the following:

Quote
Kirkby  (now Price) Janet 28/12/1843 born 23/1/1819 d/o Daniel, gardener & Elizabeth
Pinfold Gate,,

Thomas Hallam and his wife Sarah Kirk lived in Pinfold Gate.  Who is Janet Kirkby?  Her baptism date is the same as Sarah`s and Janes.

Perhaps Diddy will come up with something from the library.  Not all the information is on line.  Signing off now. ;)  Thanks.
