Emails on the subject Nigel Aspdin writes: August 25, 2007 I called in at the local studies library this morning when I was down town, and looked at the names index cards, but not the source documents, and I can tell you this, from the cards: St Werburgh's, Derby, Parish Register Isaac Dean (21), Farmer, s.o. Samuel, Farmer, married Ann Walker (19) d.o. Wm Walker, Farmer, December 4 1876. St Werburgh's, Derby, Parish Register Samuel Dean , s.o. John Dean, Farmer, married Alice Slater, d.o. Isaac Slater, December 28 1851. Derby Mercury The above marriage was reported in the Derby Mercury as being December 30 1851 (Report 14/1/52 P3 C7) Derby Mercury Joseph Dean of Kirk Ireton died May 29 1855. (Derby Mercury report June 6/6/55 p5 C6) St Peters, Derby, Parish Register John Dean, Draper, of Birmingham, married Susan Shipley d.o. William Shipley, August 2 1863. (This is another John Dean) St Werburgh's, Derby, Parish Register John Dean (28), Farmer, s.o. Samuel, Farmer, married Annie Mary Harvey (25), d.o. Wm Harvey, Druggist, March 16 1881. (Directories showed Harvey shop at 3 Ford St, corner of Brook St, Derby, in 1862 (Drake's) and 1895 (Kelly's) Photo The index card showed the library had a photo of John Dean, and when I saw it was the same photo as appeared in the newspaper of 1918 I sent you, but it is a perfect unfaded original. I will try and call in and scan it. It is interesting that the Deans went into Derby to marry, at St Werburgh's, a city centre parish, all of Samuel, and his two sons Isaac and John. I feel sure that only John was marrying a girl living in St Werburgh's parish. Regards Nigel ----------------------------- Nigel Aspdin writes: Yes, I am very happy for you to use the photo of the chart on your web site. It has spent too long carefully rolled up, it needs to be seen! John Dean ended up with a drapers shop in St Peters St, Derby, initially named Hurd and Dean, subsequently John Dean. I attach photos of the shops. They were just up from Boots corner on East St,opposite the east end of St Peters church. John lived in Highfield Road, Derby and had two daughters, Muriel and Constance. Muriel married my great uncle, William Slater of 19 Vernon St, Derby. The attached photo of the wedding shows John Dean seated by the left hand of the bride. They had no children. Constance never married, and lived most of her life with Muriel and William. From the 1930s they all lived at Vesta Lynn, Kirk Ireton, a cottage set back behind the Barley Mow, as well as at Vernon St., where there was the house and also the Derby office if the WH&J Slater pipe and brickworks at Denby. Muriel Constance and William are all buried in KI churchyard. You will have to demand better dates from me if you do want them, I have certificates or other notes for much, but not to hand as I respond. I will gladly look them out for you. If you want larger photos, let me know as I have reduced what I have sent you for ease of email. I discovered the other day that John was a one time director of Derby County, I came across his engraved directors pendant. Regards Nigel

Obituary of John DEAN 1918 Dated 1918 We regret to announce the death of Councillor John Dean J.P., which sad event took place at the residence, Park Bank, Duffield Road, early on Friday morning. Councillor Dean, who was 65 years of age, was the son of the late Mr Samuel Dean, farmer, Kirk Ireton, but was formerly in the drapery business, being a partner in the firm of Hurd and Dean, St Peter's St, Derby. He retired from business some time ago, and took a farm in the Idridgehay district, but continued to reside in Derby. In politics he was a Conservative, and he entered the Derby Town Council as a representative of Derwent Ward in 1897. Mr Dean had previously been a candidate for municipal honours without sucess. On the present occasion a vacancy was created in Derwent Ward consequent upon the elevation of the late Councillor Riley to the Aldermanic Bench. Mr Dean's opponent, who was brought out by the Liberal party, was Mr Arnold Alexander Gregg, who at that time resided at Strathaven, Keddleston Road, and was in business as a jeweller. The result of the contest was that Mr Dean was elected by a majority of 224 votes, the actual figure being - Dean 586, Gregg 362. At the time of his death he was chairman of the Tramways Committee, and also served on the Audit and Finance, Borough Developement, Estates, and Plant and Stores Committee. He was deeply interested in agricultural matters and the breeding of shire horses, and was a member of the Council of the Derbyshire Agricultural Society, at whose annual exhibition he frequently acted in the capacity of yard steward; in fact, he was ever ready to promote the best interests of the association. Mr Dean represented the Agricultural Society on the Governing Body of the Midland Agricultural and Dairy college at Kingston-on-Soar. The lamented gentleman had been in failing health for some considerable time, and his many friends noted with regret the gradual decline in his physical appearance. He was a man of great business ability, and his sound advice was always sought by his colleagues on the Corporation. He was at one time a churchwarden of St Werburgh's, and was a keen supporter of the Derby County Football Club, being a member of the committee in the old days. When the club was formed into a limited liability company he had a seat on the directorate for some time. He was a vice-president of the Derby Conservative Association. Mr Dean married a daughter of the late Mr Wm Harvey, chemist, of Brook-street, Derby, who survives him. He had two daughters, one of whom married Mr Slater, a son of the late Mr William Slater, son of the late Councillor William Slater. The Deans have lived at Kirk Ireton for 500 years. There is a table in the chancel with the date 1672 and the name of "German Dean" the then churchwarden on. Mr Samuel Dean (father of Mr John Dean) was churchwarden for over 40 years. The interment is to take place at Kirk Ireton. THE FUNERAL The funeral took place on Monday afternoon at Kirk ireton, amidst every manifestation of sorrow and regret. It was of a very quiet character, this being particularly desired by the family. The service in the peaceful and beautiful old church of Kirk Ireton and at the graveside, was impressively conducted by the vicar, Rev.R.S.Hare. The chief mourners were mrs Dean, Miss Dean, Mr and Mrs Slater, Mrand Mrs Isaac Dean, Mrs Berrisford, Mr and Mrs Dranfield, Mrs Sims, Mr and Mrs S Dean, Mrs Joseph Matkin, Mrs J.Seals, and Mr Whilton Harvey. Amongst those also present in the church and at the graveside were Mrs Frank Duesbury, Mrs J.Duesbury, Mrs Arnold Basford, Coun.J. Potter and Miss Potter, Coun.E Chambers, Messrs A.Newland, Marsden (Wirksworth) W.Harvey, A.R.Fell (Draycott), and C. Siddals (Town Clerk's Office, Derby), and Miss Blackwall (Blackwall). The coffin was of unpolished English oak, with brass appointments, and name-plate engraved: "John Dean, at rest Aug 15th, 1918; aged 65 years". The remains were bourne to their last resting- place by six nephews of the late gentleman. The hymns sung were "Brief life is here our portion", and "On the resurrection morn", the latter being sung at the graveside. Miss Simpson presided at the organ, and gave an effective rendering of the Dead March in "Saul". There were no flowers by request, but on the coffin was palced a large and beautiful cross from the family. Mr W.Harvey on behalf of the Derby and District Funeral Company, personally conducted the funeral arrangements. MAGISTERIAL REFERENCE At the Derby Borough Police Court, on Saturday morning, sympathetic reference was made to Mr Dean's lamented death. Mr R.Hudson, who presided, remarked that their departed colleague had been associated with the municipal life of Derby for 21 years, whilst for fourteen years he had been a member of that Bench. In the work of the town he took a very active part, and they owed him a debt of gratitude for devoting his time, energy and business abilities to the welfare of his fellow citizens. As a magistrate he was always inclined to show mercy and pity to those who had the misfortune to appear before the Court, and he was actuated by an earnest desire to do what was right. He was one of those men who could ill be spared from the life of the town, more especially at a time like this, when the country required so much of those left at home. They deeply regretted his death, and extended their sympathy to his wife and family in their irreparable loss. Mr H.Wells associated himself with the chairman's remarks, and said the late Councilor Dean was a magistrate whose advice was sound and good Alderman G.Brigden said the late Councillor Dean was a personal friend of his for over a quarter of a century. He was sure the town was the poorer for his loss, for he was ever ready to give up his time to the service of the public. Mr W.H.Whiston, the Magistrates' Clerk said Mr Dean was a very active member of the Bench, and always punctual and regular in attendance. He was sure all the Court officials would deeply feel his loss and sympathise with Mrs Dean and her family.
