Sir Titus Salt of Saltaire & Lightcliffe

[DollyH]

Sir Titus Salt [1803-1876] had 11 children, some of whom died in infancy.  Can anyone tell me the names [and dates?] of all the children? I've Googled and searched the Internet with a great deal of failure.

He named streets in Saltaire after his kids, That much I do know.

Can you list kids from census as a starter?

Oh yes - I was told that by a friend who used to live there. Also wife and other relations - so if you find 20 streets, you have not found a lot of extra children!

1841 - Amelia and Edward at home

1851 George, Amelia, Edward, Herbert, Fanny, Titus, William and Mary .... at home

strange theres so much about him, but only 1 or 2 mentions of Caroline his wife - and the point mentioned by Pauline about the 11 streets in Saltaire named after his kids !

Got a map !

Hi
I live about a  mile from Saltaire so any help you need just shout!

There is also a Katherine Street, Constance Street, Shirley Street, Helen Street, Elliot Street. The two main roads of the village are Victoria Road and Albert Road, named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

here is a link to a map which may help, but like others have said some were named after friends too!

Thanks for answering my question, Newfy.

With your help, I now have Amelia, Edward, George, Herbert, Fanny, Son #4, Titus, Whitlam, Mary, Helen, Ada.

I know from another source that there was a son called Whitlam [1846-1851].  If the 1851 name really is William, then we have Son #4, but if it is Whitlam, then we still lack the name of 1 son.  Incidentally, Whitlam was their mother's maiden name.  Odd that they didn't call the first son by that name.

Thanks

Looking more closely at 1851, there are 2 Williams ! - a William H - 19, and a plain William - 5.

So doubtless the Enumerator didnt differentiate or understand !

In 1861 only Herbert and Titus jnr are at home .... in Methley Hall.

So it is possible that in the 1851 census, plain William [aged 5 in 1851] is my Whitlam [1846-1851] just before his death, and William H is the missing Son #4.

Many thanks

Hi

I take you that there is a statue of Sir Titus Salt?



And the name of his father was Daniel.
