NOTES: - On the Kelly's of St. Clether

Elizabeth was the daughter of Thomas and Jane Kelly (nee Edwards). She was baptised on the 4th January 1817 at St. Clether.

In 1841 Elizabeth Kelly was living at Vicarage House, St. Cleer, as a female servant for John Jope, a 90 year old Clergyman. She married Walter Bowhay, baptised 29th Sept. 1816 at Tresmeer, his mother was called Elizabeth. In 1845, Elizabeth Bowhay their daughter was born. - By 1851, they were living at Treneath, St. Cleer. Elizabeth was 33 and her daughter is age 6, Walter is not at home. In the 1851 census the name is given as BOWEY.

By 1861 they are all at home at Treneath Cottage and Walter is stated as a farmer of 8 acres and a Local Methodist Preacher. They were both 44 years old. On the 10th May 1866, she was a witness at the marriage of Thomas Collins her nephew and Elizabeth Budge Maunder in Truro, or was it her daughter, Elizabeth Bowhay who would have been 21. This couple are my G/Grandparents. Later that year in 1866 her daughter Elizabeth married William Roberts (Sept. Liskeard 5c 115). Mary Roberts her granddaughter was born in 1868 (March 1868 Liskeard 5c 75).

By 1871 she was living at St. Cleer with her husband Walter and niece Elizabeth Collins. Walter was still a farmer of 8 acres. Walter was in attendance at the death of his brother-in-law William Collins (my G/Grandfather) who died on the 1st December 1875, he registered the death on the 4th of that month.

In 1881, Walter and Elizabeth, both 64 were still farming the 8 acres and were still living at Treneeth Cottage, St. Cleer. With them was their grand daughter, Mary Elizabeth Roberts, age 13, who was a scholar. Walter was also in attendance at the death of his sister-in-law, Jane Collins (my G/Grandmother) on the 19th August 1886 and registered the death on the 20th August. Walter himself died two years later, age 71, in 1888 (June Liskeard 5c 39). Elizabeth was living at Winsor in 1891 and her grand daughter Mary E. Roberts now 23 was her housekeeper. Her niece Elizabeth Collins was also living at Winsor in 1891 although not the same house.

In 1891, Elizabeth (Kelly) Bowey is a Widow aged 74 (Living on her own means) with Housekeeper & Spinster G/Daughter Mary Elizabeth Roberts (24) - Living next door to her is her Widowed Sister Ann (Kelly) Hooper aged 76 (Living on her own means) with her Batchelor Son John Hooper aged 40 (Drapers Assistant)

By 1901 Elizabeth was 84 and still in St. Cleer but was now living at Well Park. She was living on her own means and her grand daughter Polly Roberts who was now 33 was still living with her. Thomas Collins got word on the 13th February 1907 that his aunt in St. Cleer had died. She was an elderly aunt. It was Elizabeth Bowhay, she was 90 when she died. (BMD March 1907 age 90, Liskeard 5c 43)

Mary Elizabeth Roberts is Polly Roberts, my grandfather's cousin mentioned in his diaries. It appears that Walter Bowhay seemed to attend to most of the deaths in his family as you mentioned he was also present at his nephews death. Probably because he was a preacher.

I have very little on Ann Kelly but it seems she had a tragic life. I have found no marriage so far for her and up until I e-mailed you I thought she may have died in 1850. Anyway, see what you make of Elizabeth and let me know whether you think it is right.

Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards, Hilary.

There were several 'Alice Lawton's' died in Ashton between the years 1851 to 1861, and as I cannot find this Alice in the 1861 Census, I assume she either Married or Died before 1861

Born to Ann Lawton in 1867 before she was married in 1869
1871 - Aged 3 at Andrews Buildings with Grandparents John & Mary Lawton.
LAWTON, Alice. Born: Stayley, Tameside. 1867-STY/13/2

NOTES on ALICE LAWTON - (1911 - 1977)

Alice Lawton became a Landgirl during the Second World War, she subsequently met and married Wallace Griffiths (Farmer) of Hughley, Shropshire. The couple tenanted Lushcott Farm at Much Wenlock in Shropshire where two daughters were born (Mary & Margaret) before moving to a farm near Whitchurch. They then moved to a cottage on the outskirts of Chester befor moving to Malpas, where they bought the little Cafe accross from the Church. Later they retired and moved into Bank Cottage Bickley Town where they remained until the end.

- NOTES: - Infant daughter of William Alfred Lawton and wife Eliza, died aged 1 year of age. - Named after her paternal Grandmother 'Alice' and her maternal Grandmother 'Ann'

- 1901 - Aged 1 year at 13 Chantry St, Liverpool.

Cpuld be the daughter of Thomas & Betty Lawton of Quick.

In the Baptism Records at Holy Trinity Church in Dobcross, Violet Lawton who was baptised on the 26th September 1827 is recorded as the illigitmate daughter of Amelia Lawton (Spinster) of Quick, Saddleworth.

Widow Amelia Lawton is found in the 1841 Census at Baguley Hill, Brookbottom, Saddleworth, aged 40 years and living with her are her two children Samuel (15) and Violeta (14) - It appears that this Amelia (Milly) Lawton may have married William Hulley at St. Mary's Parish Church, Oldham in 1842 , and William Hulley died in 1845, so by the 1851 Census Amelia is a Widow, back living with her son Samuel and wife Jane at Quick, Mossley, Saddleworth.

There was a William Hulley born 31st June 1811 @ Oxhey, Friarmere, son of John & Betty Hulley, which would equate to William Hulley being aged 34 years at his Death in 1845.
