WIRKSWORTH Parish Records 1600-1900
|
|
Five Victorian Remembrance cards, about people from the
Wirksworth Area. Such cards were usually given at funerals, were
stoutly made, and contained the deceased's full names, date of birth,
location of birth, date they passed away and on some, the location of
death. So they are very useful for Family History research if they
survive. They had heavy black edges, and were popular around
1840-1900
They are:
John BUCKLEY
John GREATOREX
Elizabeth CHEETHAM
Hannah BARNWELL
Phoebe GREGORY

5. Phoebe GREGORY
died 1891 aged 74, interred at Cromford
Phoebe Barker was born in Matlock (Lime Tree Lane) in 1817 to
Elizabeth Barker, who is recorded as though she is unmarried.
In 1841 Elizabeth is living in
Scarthin Nick with her mother Silence (c 1758-1846), and unmarried
children Harriott and Mary
About 1840 Phoebe married John Gregory (born 1814). The marriage
has not yet been found. Phoebe and John have 7 children, probably
all born at Scarthin Nick (between Matlock and Cromford). John's
occupation is given as wood or pit sawyer. Such strong men wielded
a large double-handed saw, one standing on top of a felled tree
(the "top dog") and one in a pit underneath (the "under dog").
The children work as cotton spinners, probably at nearby Arkwright's
Mill, from as early as 10 years.
Phoebe dies in 1891, leaving John a widower still alive in
1901 at 76 Main Street, Cromford,
aged 89
