Walmersley and Bolton (Bakers) Clan Last Updated 14th July 2020 ©2020 Ray Warburton Table of Contents Preface 2 Surnames 3 Descendants of Peter Warburton & Elizabeth Heap First Generation 4 Second Generation 7 Third Generation 12 Fourth Generation 20 Fifth Generation 32 Sixth Generation 52 Place Index 59 Person Index 68 1 PREFACE This tree combines three families which are linked on the basis of specific assumptions. The families are: 1. The ancestors of Warburtons Bakers of Bolton, starting from Henry born in 1805. 2 The descendant of James, born in 1800 in Walmersley. 3. The descendants of Peter and Elizabeth Heap. The first two families are linked by the assumption that 4 children of Thomas and Sarah of Walmersley, baptised at Holcombe between 1800 and 1804, are part of the same family as 4 children of Thomas and Sarah of Edenfield, baptised at Edenfield Chapel between 1805 and 1809. The identification of Thomas, the father of the above children with the son of Peter and Elizabeth nee Heap is based on the assumption that he is the Thomas whose burial was recorded at Holcombe in 1810. The assumptions are expanded on in the tree.

Peter Warburton. This tree combines three families which are linked on the basis of specific assumptions. The families are: 1. The ancestors of Warburtons Bakers of Bolton, starting from Henry born in 1805. 2 The descendant of James, born in 1800 in Walmersley. 3. The descendants of Peter and Elizabeth Heap. The first two families are linked by the assumption that 4 children of Thomas and Sarah of Walmersley, baptised at Holcombe between 1800 and 1804, are part of the same family as 4 children of Thomas and Sarah of Edenfield, baptised at Edenfield Chapel between 1805 and 1809. Furthermore the Henry born in 1805 is the same Henry whose son Thomas founded the bakery business in Bolton. The facts and issues behind these assumptions are discussed in my paper Thomas and Sarah Families on the Papers page of my website (warburton.one-name.net). The identification of Thomas, the father of the above children with the son of Peter and Elizabeth nee Heap is based on the assumption that he is the Thomas whose burial was recorded at Holcombe in 1810. This it turn rests on the assumption that the Sarah Jackson who is living with James in the 1841 census is his mother, being the same person as the Sally Warburton, widow, who married James Jackson in 1818. This is despite the fact that James married Peggy Jackson so the Sarah living with him could be her relative, though she is not her mother who was named Mary. If Sarah was a widow in 1818, Thomas must have died between 1809 and 1818, and only 2 burials of a Thomas are recorded locally in that period. Both are a bit older than Sarah. Sarah Jackson’s age at death gives a birth circa 1776/7, whereas the son of Peter and Elizabeth was born in 1755, and a Thomas who was buried in 1813 aged 67 would have been born circa 1746. The burial in 1810 is the best fit because the age gap is smaller, and the date is closer to birth of Sarah’s last child, and so explains why Sarah stopped having children in her early 30s. Thomas’s abode Heartsough Mill in the Holcombe register. There is no known Heartsough Mill, but there is a Hardsough Lane in Edenfield. Hardsough Mill was built on Hardsough Lane in 1871, and there may have been an earlier mill in the area. It would seem probable that Heartsough is a misspelling of Hardsough and this fits with Thomas’s abode on the baptisms of his last four children. The burial is also recorded in the Bury parish records, as Holcombe was a chapel of ease for Bury Bury St Mary until 1866. This gives Thomas’s abode as Elton, but this is probably a misunderstanding of the location of Hardsough Mill. 4 First Generation No records have been uncovered describing an alternative life for Thomas. The family of Peter and Elizabeth nee Heap shares characteristics with the Edenfield clan as it is from a similar area, and includes the name Peter, but no actual connection has been identified. I discussed the relationship of the name Peter to the Edenfield clan and area in my paper Edenfield Clan and Related Peters on the Papers page of my website (warburton.one-name.net). Their children’s baptisms refer to Newhall, Balladen and Carrhead. New Hall Hey, Balladen Brook, and modern day Carr Head farm are features close to each other to the south of Rawtenstall, and probably refer to a single abode. On 7 May 1754 Peter married Elizabeth Heap in Bury, St Mary, Lancashire. They had the following children: 2 i. Thomas Warburton (1755-1810) ii. Mary Warburton. Mary was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, in 1757. She was christened in Holcombe, St Emmanuel, Lancashire, on 11 Feb 1757. Mary’s parents are from Newhall on her baptism record. iii. John Warburton. John was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, in 1759. He was christened in Newchurch, St Nicholas, Lancashire, on 17 Jun 1759. John’s parents are from Newhall on his baptism record. iv. Ann Warburton. Ann was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, abt 1760. Ann died on 7 May 1761. She was buried in Holcombe, St Emmanuel, Lancashire, on 7 May 1761. Ann is only known from her burial as the child of Peeter. 3 v. Peter Warburton (1761-1849) vi. Genney Warburton. Genney was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, abt 1764. Genney died in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, on 14 Aug 1764. She was buried in Holcombe, St Emmanuel, Lancashire, on 16 Aug 1764. Genney is only known from her burial as the child of Peeter. vii. James Warburton. James was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, in 1765. He was christened in Newchurch, St Nicholas, Lancashire, on 5 Aug 1765. James’s parents are from Carrheadl on his baptism record. His mother is named as Betty. It is Elizabeth on all other baptisms except Thomas, who was baptised before mother’s name was recorded. viii. Henery Warburton. Henery was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, abt 1767. Henery died in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, in 1767. He was buried in Holcombe, St Emmanuel, Lancashire, on 7 Dec 1767. 5 First Generation Henery is only known from his burial as the child of Peeter. ix. Peggy Warburton. Peggy was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, in 1768. She was christened in Newchurch, St Nicholas, Lancashire, on 9 Oct 1768. Peggy’s parents are from Balladen on her baptism record. x. Betty Warburton. Betty was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, in 1773. She was christened in Newchurch, St Nicholas, Lancashire, on 19 Dec 1773. Betty’s parents are from Balladen on her baptism record. 4 xi. Henry Warburton (1778-1855) 6 Descendants of Peter Warburton & Elizabeth Heap Second Generation 2. Thomas Warburton (Peter1). Thomas was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, on 1 Mar 1755. He was christened in Edenfield Chapel, Lancashire, on 16 Mar 1755. Thomas died in Edenfield, Lancashire, on 30 Jul 1810. He was buried in Holcombe, St Emmanuel, Lancashire, on 30 Jul 1810. Thomas is the son of Peter of Balladen on his baptism record. His burial record at Holcombe says he is from Heartsough Mill, aged 55. The Bury, St Mary parish register gives his abode as Elton, so it is assumed Heartsough Mill was in Elton. Thomas’s occupation is not mentioned on the 4 baptisms at Holcombe, but on his son James’s second marriage he is named as Thomas, a carder. He is also a carder on the baptisms of Thommy (Fanny), and George, but on Henry’s he is a spinner and on Susannah’s he is an engineer. These might be errors, or evidence of attempts to better himself, with his attempt to become a spinner failing so he reverted to carder. Thoas is aged 55 from Heartsough Mill on his baptism record at Holcombe. This was probably a reference to Hardsough Mill which used to exist on Hardsough Lane in Edenfield. There are no known alternative family records for the son of Peter and Elizabeth. On 18 May 1797 when Thomas was 42, he married Sarah Handley in Manchester Cathedral, Lancashire. The identification of Sarah as Sarah Handley is speculative. The death of Sarah Jackson in 1846, aged 69 limits the possible dates for her marriage to 1795-9., and the marriage of Thomas and Sarah Handley at Manchester Cathedral is the best fit. The only other recorded marriages are one in Wiltshire, and the marriage of Thomas and Sally Isherwood which is discounted as that Thomas died in 1805. There could however be an unrecorded marriage. Sarah was born abt 1777. Sarah died in Bury, Lancashire, in 1846. A Sarah Jackson, aged 60, is living with her son James in the 1841 census. As James’s wife Peggy is also a Jackson, this could be a relative of hers.
