Notes for JOHN NUTTER: John NUTTER Born 9 April 1816 John Sally Pighole in Briercliffe Haggate Baptist Chapel (Briercliffesociety.co.uk) I wonder if this is the correct John - why didn't he marry at Chapel?

In 1851 the census was taken on 30th March. James was 3 months old then, so he must have been born in January 1851. He was the only child to have been born in Little Marsden, so the family must have moved between 1848 (John's birth July - September) and January 1851.

1851 John is a beamer* aged 34, married to Ann 30. The family live at Pye Grove, Little Marsden (St. Paul's area). Robert (11) & Ellen (10) + 3 more children Susannah (8) Should this be Sarah Ann?

*A beamer was employed to wind the warp on the roller (beam) before putting it on the loom. Parkfield Mill at the top of Railway Street was the nearest mill.

1852 Ann died 24th June from consumption. She was 31 and there was no doctor present. Sarah Nutter made her mark on the certificate as she was present at Ann's death. Daughter Sarah was 9 at the time. (Death certificate).

Stepdaughter Ellen (21) & Mary Foulds (1) are lodging. Ellen (nee Ingham) had married John Foulds in 1859. He died in 1860 so Ellen came to live with her mother and stepfather.
