3 Generation

3.1 JOHN WADE

    A Yorkshire man who moved to Worcestershire as a stone worker. His family seem to have been itinerant – it proves difficult to trace back into Yorkshire, particularly as there is at least one instance of confusion between Ward and Wade.
    It looks as though he was born illegitimately to Sarah Wade just outside Malton, where he always gave as his place of birth, then brought up in a family listed with James Ward, aged 30 in 1841 but in fact Wade as shown by the baptism of oldest son, Francis; John at his marriage with Hannah Jane Gill shows his father as James Wade, but this may have been an adoptive relationship. It is quite possible that James was the biological father, and Sarah died soon after John’s birth, but there is no record of this. She may have been in the workhouse in Malton with an illegitimate child.
    By 1851, by some mysterious way, John appears as a footman at Thornton Watlass; while this seems unlikely, the age and place of birth are exactly right. Perhaps Sarah was in service there, and was chucked out for getting pregnant, and returned to home for the birth. Either way, John’s early life would have been rather uncertain! He did have what appear to be clerical jobs, so maybe the service job was a short term one.
    The other puzzle is how he married Hannah Gill, when he was (possibly) in service near Ripon in 1851, and she was with her father by then in Herefordshire – there must have been some travel between Herefordshire and Leeds, where they fetched up in 1861, before going on to the West Midlands later.
    His first marriage has not been found – he was a widower when he married Hannah.

    This is the birth that matches the 1861 & 1881 censuses and the 1851 where a matching individual was listed as a footman, exactly the correct age and place of birth, although it seems a bit unlikely!
This is the only birth of a John Wade that fits the place and date of birth: Appleton le Street is 4 miles west of Malton.

Born: (Old) Malton, Yorks about 1832-4.
Ch: 21/2/1832^FMPt, Appleton le Street.
Parent: Sarah Wade (and James Wade from his marriage lines).
Died: Prob Q1 1888, aged 54, B’ham. No will.

There are no images of this parish record online, and it only appears in one transcript. Either a visit to a Yorkshire archive or a Mormon family centre is required.

The only Sarah Wade between 1780-1820 was ch 2/1/1781^FMPt, in Appleton le Street of Richard Wade. (also Emanuel, ch 19/3/1785).

If it was Sarah, born 1781, she would have been an old mother and may have died soon after. The odd thing is that there are also Martha and Jane Wade as mothers listed with baptism and no father given about the same time, maybe they were from the workhouse??

Sarah Ward ch Westow, dau of John & Masey Ward, b. 26/3/1811^FMPi & ch 5/4/1811. Westow about 3 miles SSW of Malton.

Will Index: Jacob Bainbrig Gill of Marsh Cottage Bransford, Worcestershire, died 29/6/1903, Probate London 11 Sept to Harry Lawrence Price Mann, Accountant, and George Burrows, machinist £1586/12/8d^ACi.

1847[1]: INQUESTS

CRADLEY.—AcciDENTAL DEATH.—On Monday last, an inquest was held at the New Inn, in the parish of Cradley before N. Lanwarne, Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, on view of the body of Samuel Bailey, who on Thursday, the 18th instant, received severe injuries, from a quantity of clay, marl, and dirt, falling upon him, whilst working in a stone quarry, at Cradley, from the effects of which injuries he shortly afterwards died. Jacob Gill, manager of the stone quarry in which the deceased met with the accident, deposed that on the day of its occurrence deceased was “unbaring” in the quarry, shortly after twelve o’clock,, and that he (witness) being near, heard something fall, and the deceased cry out. Witness and the other men went to the spot and found deceased covered with clay and marl, about up to his belly, and in a double position; the soil, &c., which had surrounded him was removed, and deceased was carried to his lodgings, where, in about twenty minutes after being taken thither, he expired. The jury returned a verdict of “accidental death.”

1861[2]: "Worcestershire Naturalists Club:
Dr. GRIMDROD then made some observations on geological matters, ending with the advantages to be derived from constant devotion to any pursuit, and proposed to enrol in their number a clever working man, of Cradley, Jacob Gill, who had been of great service in collecting and securing valuable fossils. This was agreed to, and after the localities for other Meetings had been fixed, Mr. E. Lees rose, and after tracing the past history of the Club, proposed that they should now recognise their new president. whom he was delighted to see in his place, by drinking his health, ensured that they now had not a more honorary name, but a real president who would study their interests. This was received with much applause, and Mr. MELVILLE returned thanks in a happy manner, trusting that at their next meeting it would be his pleasure to show them some of the beauties of a place which the Earl of Dudley had lavished much money upon, not with a selfish view but that his designs might be fully appreciated

and enjoyed by his discerning countrymen.

The evening now advancing, it became necessary to meet the train, in provided carriages, and thus a very pleasant re-union was terminated. The following new members were elected on this occasion Rev. W. Lister Isaac, Pirton Rectory; William Avery, ESQ, Redditch ; George Dawson esq, Birmingham; Mr W. Southall, jun, and Mr. Jacob Gill, Cradley.

1878[3]: ACCIDENT.—A serious accident befell Samuel Baylis, employed in Mr. Jacob Gill’s quarry, on Wednesday. He was working alone at seven o'clock in the morning, when a large stone fell forward on him, and threw him to the ground. Fortunately his head was uncovered, and he shouted for help till he became exhausted, but not till about eleven o'clock was he released, through the efforts of Mr. Gill. He was taken to Worcester Infirmary.
