Lancashire / Re: LIVERPOOL COWKEEPERS
« on: Friday 26 July 24 12:50 BST (UK) »
I’m the descendant of Anthony Askew born in October 1841 in Dent (within the historic boundaries of the West Riding of Yorkshire (now Cumbria) and Isabella (Bella) Sedgewick, born 1844 in Cowgill, West Riding
Anthony married Bella Sedgwick in Dent, on 24 November 1860 when he was 19 years old and Bella was 17 years old. They moved away from Dent and set up a small holding in Town Row, West Derby, Liverpool in 1862. By 1891, the couple were referred as ‘cowkeepers proper’’ They had nine children in 21 years. Anthony and Bella spent the rest of their lives in the city.
