Joseph Warburton. Joseph was born abt 1767. ■ Census for Torkington, Cheshire, in 1841. Joseph (72) is a labourer living with Hannah (66), Charles (20) a coal miner, Hannah (16) a reeler of cotton, Ellis (26) a coal miner, Mary (22), and grandchildren David (2), and Margaret (2 mths), the children of his son Ellis. Son Martin is living with, or next door to Joseph. Joseph died in Torkington, Cheshire, in 1844. He was buried in Marple, All Saints, Cheshire, on 8 Mar 1844. No reliable baptism has been identified for Joseph. There are possibles at Manchester Cathedral and Ashton-Under-Lyne, based on his census age, but these are too late for his age at burial. Also there is no marriage for Joseph and Sarah which, given Sarah’s age at death, must have been close to the birth of their first child. The only marriage that fits on date was in Malpas. Joseph’s children include some conjecture. There are baptisms for the children of his first marriage, and for Martin and Sarah at Marple. No baptisms can be found for Thomas and James, and their marriage records don’t include their father’s name. They were, however, born in Torkington on censuses. There is a baptism for Samuel but none for Ellis, Charles, or Hannah though they are living at home in the 1841 census and Ellis and Hannah’s father is named as Joseph on their marriages. Finally Peter was baptised at Stockport but his parents are given as John and Hannah of Torkington. There is no other evidence of John and Hannah. Peter calls his youngest son Ellis, the same as Joseph and Hannah’s youngest son, and he is a collier like many of Joseph’s sons. It is therefore presumed that Peter’s baptism record is in error and his father should be Joseph. Joseph is described as a weaver on the baptisms of Sarah and Samuel. Joseph was 77 years old on his burial record. Joseph first married Sarah. Sarah was born abt 1774. Sarah died in 1795. She was buried in Marple, All Saints, Cheshire, on 1 May 1795. Sarah was buried aged 21. They had the following children: 2 i. John Warburton (1791-1849) ii. Mary Warburton. Mary was born in Marple, Cheshire, in 1792. She was christened in Marple, All Saints, Cheshire, on 11 Nov 1792. Mary died in 1794. She was buried in Marple, All Saints, Cheshire, on 16 Nov 1794. Mary was the daughter of Joseph and Sarah of Torkington on her burial record. 3 iii. Joseph Warburton (1794-1865) 4 First Generation On 29 Aug 1796 when Joseph was 29, he second married Hannah Marsland in Stockport, St Mary, Cheshire. Hannah was born abt 1775. Hannah died in Torkington, Cheshire, in 1848. She was buried in Marple, All Saints, Cheshire, on 19 Mar 1848. Hannah was 73 years old on her burial record. They had the following children: 4 i. Martin Warburton (1797-1880) ii. Sarah Warburton. Sarah was born in Torkington, Cheshire, in 1800. She was christened in Poynton, St George, Cheshire, on 12 Mar 1800. Sarah is believed to be the one who married John Tymm based on the fact she named her eldest son Ellis. She is 40 in the 1841 census, but by 1851 she is widowed and living with Ellis in Macclesfield. Her place of birth is given as Macclesfield and her age as 54 so there must be some doubt this is the correct marriage. There is the death of a Sarah Tymms registered at Macclesfield in 1854, age unknown, and she is not in the 1861 census. On 22 May 1820 when Sarah was 20, she married John Tymm in Stockport, St Mary, Cheshire. 5 iii. Thomas Warburton (~1803-1883) 6 iv. James Warburton (~1806-1872) 7 v. Peter Warburton (1810-1871) vi.

The marriage was registered in 4q 1865 Stockport 8a 81. Elizabeth was born in Stockport, Cheshire, abt 1810. Elizabeth died in 1885.
