NOTES:

1841 - (ID 16491) - Aged 8 (Farmers Son) at Bowsteads Farm, Denshaw.

1881 - James aged 47 is a Widower (Grocer) living with brother William Henry and sister Jane Brierley at Ashton Old Road, Fairfield. Closeby is another brother Jonathan Brierley (Grocer) & Family at 17 Field Street, Fairfield. (Now access to Fairfield Square Shopping Center)

The centre of the BRIERLEY Grocery Empire appears to have been Fairfield House which is near The Trough in Audenshaw. (It's now a restaurant). James Brierley lived there at least between 1881 and 1906 and as all the other Brierleys Grocers lived in far more humble dwellings - usually over the shop - it looks like he was the boss. It appears that the grocery business died out early in the twentieth century. One of the Brierley addresses had become a branch of Seymour Mead by about 1910.

Mike Brierley's line comes down from Jonathan's only son James William Brierley, through his son Arthur, and then another Arthur, (Father).

Of Jonathan's other two children, Mary died within a few months and Minnie married and either became Minnie Morris or is connected to a Minnie Morris somehow (Mike Brierley)

NOTES:

Born: 25th December 1837 and registered in ONS Birth Index: Jan_Mar 1838

1814 - (ID 16493) - Aged 4 years (Farmers Son) at Bowsteads Farm, Denshaw.

1881 - A 'JANET BRIERLEY' (Born: 1834) aged 47 (Dress Maker) from Dumfries, living with Jonathon & Family in 1881 (Find out who she is)

The centre of the Grocery Empire appears to have been Fairfield House which is near The Trough in Audenshaw. (It's now a restaurant). James Brierley lived there at least between 1881 and 1906 and as all the other grocer Brierleys lived in far more humble dwellings - usually over the shop - it looks like he was the boss. It appears that the grocery business died out early in the twentieth century. One of the Brierley addresses had become a branch of Seymour Mead by about 1910.

My own line comes down from Jonathan's only son James William, and then his son Arthur, and then another Arthur, my Dad. Of Jonathan's other two children, Mary died within a few months and Minnie married and either became Minnie Morris or is connected to a Minnie Morris somehow

NOTES:

Jonathan Brierley - Born: 25th December 1837, "Boothstedge", Delph, Saddleworth - Married: Dovina Lindsay, April 15th 1870, Manchester Cathedral
Died: 19th November 1914, 27 Jackson Street, Gorton

Marriage Certificate shows Jonathan's occupation as Grocer, his Father Joseph's occupation is given as Builder.

Both the couple have their address simply as "Gorton". Their local parish church St. Thomas had recently collapsed in a heap and it's replacement
would not open until 1871. This probably explains why they had to go into town to get married.

Occupation -
Farmer - Labourer in Cotton Mill - Grocer

Burial - [date: OCT_DEC 1914] [place: Manchester, Lancashire.]

Marriage Certificate shows Jonathan's occupation as Grocer, father Joseph's occupation is given as Builder. Both the couple have their address simply as "Gorton". Their local parish Church of St. Thomas had recently collapsed in a heap and it's replacement would not open until 1871. This probably explains when they had to go into town to get hitched.

Baptism - [date: 21 DEC 1791] [place: St. Chad's Parish Church, Uppermill, Saddleworth, Yorkshire.]

- Radcliffe Baptism Registers of St. Chad's Saddleworth Church - 21st. December 1791 - BRIARLEY Samuel, son of Benjamin & Esther (Shaw) Briarley of Mytholm Green, Dobcross - Clothier.

NOTES:

In the 1861 Census he is recorded as JAMES SAMUEL, so perhaps a search of Lancashire Births Register may find him under that name.

Occupation -
Farmer - Grocer - Hotelier

Census - [date: 1851] [place: Boothsteads Farm, Denshaw, Saddleworth, Yorkshire.]

1851 - Aged 8 (Scholar) at Boothsteads Farm, Denshaw, Saddleworth.

Census - [date: 1861] [place: 98 Manchester Street, Oldham, Lancashire.]

1861 - Recorded as JAMES SAMUEL BRIERLEY - Aged 21 (Iron Mechanic) at 98 Manchester Street, Oldham, Lancashire. Living with brother Edward Brierely and siblings.

Census - [date: 1871] [place: Market Street, Droylsden, Lancashire.]

This entry in the 1871 Census records seems very strange, in so much as, it appears as though another Brierley, brother of Samuel should be recorded at Market Street, Droylsden. (Perhaps the elusive James Brierley).

Market Street, Droyslden, was an extention of Fairfield Road, Fairfield, crossing the Junction of Ashton New Road on either side. So all the 'Brierley' siblings were more or less in the same vicinity.

I obviously have the wrong William Brierley recorded here as in the 1861 Census he is living at 'Culvert' , Waterhead and his mother JANE BRIERLEY (1779) aged 82 is living with family.

NOTES:

The 'Baptism' of William Brierely in 1813 has his mother named as 'Mally' but this could possibly be Sally. (Need to Verify)
Could this be William Brierley (Miner) age 47 at 'Culvert' at Waterhead Mill Bottom in the 1861 Census

Also another William Brierley living at Culvert, Waterhead, Saddleworth, which also could be the William above.
