Reference in my Fathers 1933 Diary to his 'Aunt Lizzie'
1861 Census - Aged 2 years at 59 Bury Road, Spotland, Rochdale.
1891 Census - Aged 31 (Frame Tenter) at 15 Spring Street, Brookfields, Mossley.
1901 Census - Age 42 (Cotton Tenter) at 15 Spring St, Brookfields, Mossley.
1911 Census - Aged 53 (Cotton Frame Tenter) @ 15 Spring Street, Brookfields, Mossley. (Boarder)

ELIZABETH HOLDEN (1858-1933)

On the death of my Mother (Arechea Nicholls) on December 24th 1998 and the subsequent dispersal of her estate. I happened to come across a small Diary from 1933 that had been kept by my late Father (Fred Lawton). Although there had not been many entries made in the Diary, one that caught my attention was that dated January 21st. 1933, which noted that 'Aunt Lizzie' had died, and on the 24th. January 1933 was buried in Mossley Cemetery.

As I had no inclination as to whom he was referring, I decided to check the Burial Records for Mossley Cemetery that are kept at the Dukinfield Crematorium Offices. On researching the particular date and entry in the Burial Register, I came across an entry on Page 88. Folio No. 6641 for an ELIZABETH HOLDEN (Single Woman) aged 74 years, who died at 24 Archer Street, Mossley; on 21st. January 1933 and who was interred in Grave No. 2410 in Mossley Municipal Cemetery on the 24th January 1933:

Grave No. 2410 was classified in the Burial Registry as being " Full " as there were Five previous deceased already registered in the plot, as following:.....

Page 7. Folio; 136. Lucy Ann Brierley. 1 year. Buried. 21st April 1880.
Page 10. Folio; 192. Mary Elizabeth Brierley. 8 mth. Buried. 29th January 1881.
Page 93. Folio; 1840. Hannah Ashworth. 76 Yrs. Buried. 1st May 1895.
Page ? . Folio; 5066. Mary Ellen Brierley. 68 Yrs. Buried. 19th April. 1920.
Page 88 Folio; 6641. Elizabeth Holden. 74 Yrs. Buried. 26th January 1933.

From the above occupants, the questions arise;

Who was Hannah Ashworth and what relation was she to the Brierley's ?. - This is obviously Hannah (Hodkin) Ashworth, daughter of George & Hannah Hodkin of Blackwell in Derbyshire, and wife of William Ashworth of Flash Cottages in Knowls Lane, Hartshead, mother of Mary Ellen(Ashworth) Brierley.

If Elizabeth Holden was my Fathers true "Auntie", that would mean she was the sister of Mary Ellen Brierley. As Elizabeth Holden was a Spinster, so she would have retained her "Maiden Name".

Further to researching the Grave details, I obtained a copy of Elizabeth Holden's Death Certificate from Dukinfield Registry Office; Certificate No.148 for 1933 confirms that Elizabeth died at 24 Archer Street, Mossley, and states that Thomas Lawton (My Grandfather) was present at her Death. The description gives her as a Spinster whose occupation was a Cotton Speed Tenter and that she was the Daughter of Benjamin Holden (Painter) of Rochdale, deceased. Registered; 21/1/1933.

Elizabeth Holden was born at 59 Bury Rd, Spotland, Rochdale. Lancashire on 16th September 1858, daughter of Benjamin Holden & Maria Dews. (Rochdale Birth Register No. 1858-SN/14/42).

Further to the above. I researched the 1881 UK Census Returns and found an Elizabeth Holden residing with James Brierly and Family at Queen Street. Mossley. Ashton-under-lyne. Lancs.

1881 - FHL Film; 1341970. PRO Ref; RG11 Piece; 4059 Folio.85; Page.67

James Brierly. Head. Engineer Age 31. Born. Saddleworth. Yorks.
Mary A Brierly. Wife. Age 30. Born. Lees. Saddleworth. Yorks.
Joseph H Brierly. Son. Scholar. Age 7. Born. Lees. Saddleworth. Yorks.
Sarah Ann Brierly. Daug. Scholar. Age 5. Born. Mossley.
Sarah Jane Holden. Boarder. Reeler. Age 45. Born. Lees. Saddleworth. Yorks.
Elizabeth Holden. - Boarder. - Tenter. - Age 22. Born. Rochdale. Lancs.

Who was Sarah Jane Holden aged 45 ???? - This record turned out to be a Transcription Error and it was Sarah Jane Hodkin (Orphaned daughter of George Hodkin of Hartshead)

As yet I have been unable to find any relationship between Elizabeth Holden and either the Brierley or Ashworth family.

It would appear that the records in the 1841 Census pose more questions than they answer, but the main fact is that the 1841 Census seems to verify that John Hooper did indeed have a second name of 'William' albiet the other way around as the attached note states. (This would account for him being named William in the Newspaper article on his untimely death by suicide in 1861) - However! the fact that there was no wife living with John Hooper at Menariddew Farm (or the age of Ann is a transcription error and should be 22) and also a child John Hooper aged 1 year, apparently before John Hooper and Ann Kelly married in 1843. There is also a Thomas Hooper living in close proximity who could well be John Hoopers brother. (Verify).

Tragic Suicide at Menadue Farm in the Parish of St. Cleer.

The following is a transcript of the article (I have typed this rather than send you a copy as the print is very poor & it is a short article).

Cornish Times - 21st September 1861 - Page.4 - "ST CLEER" - Melancholy suicide

On Wednesday morning last, Mr William Hooper, who occupies Menadue Farm, in the Parish of St Cleer, committed suicide by hanging himself in a hayloft over one of the stables of the farm. It appears that Hooper had not been well for the last two years- suffering from mental depression which has caused his family a great deal of anxiety. Nothing manifested itself more than usual on this morning, as he got up and attended to his cattle as he was accustomed to do. His eldest son, who had been away with a horse and cart during the forenoon, and returned about 12 o'clock and having taken to the stable and attended to it, called a younger brother, a lad of about 14 years of age, to put it in the field. When the lad came to the door of the stable he looked up in the loft and saw his father hanging. He called is brother's attention to it, who immediately gave an alarm, and some men who were working about 40 yards from the stable ran in and cut him down, but life was quite extinct. He was in a kneeling position, his neck not being more than three feet six inches from the floor. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his untimely end.

I am sorry that we cannot help you more in tracking down John Hooper.

Thank you,
Claire Morgan

(Note: This William Hooper has been positively identified by Liskeard BMD Registrar from archive records as the John Hooper who died 18th September 1861 and was buried 25th September 1861 in St, Cleer Churchyard. An inquest was held into the circumstances of his death, and no immediate family names appear on the Death Certificate)

NOTES on VERA ALICE HOOPER - (1923 - 2000)

Born at Manchester Road, Roaches, Mossley, second youngest daughter of Richard Hooper of St. Cleer, Cornwall, who brought up the family when her mother & father seperated, and her mother Florence died of a Brain Tumor in 1932.

Apparently Vera almost married her first sweetheart Tom Lloyd (the son of Fanny Lloyd of Micklehurst Road ) when she was just 17 years of age. Desperate to leave home Vera and Tom ran away together to Gretna Green, Scotland, to get married over the Blacksmiths Anvil there. But as it happened the Blacksmith Shop and wedding facilities were closed on that particular day, so the couple never did get married. In later years Fanny Lloyd remarked to both Doreen & Irene that they could well have been her Grand-daughters, as Vera almost married her son Tom. - In 1985 when Irene went home to visit England from Australia, Irene took her mother Vera to do some banking at the NatWest Bank in top Mossley, and who should follow them out of the Bank, but none other than Tom Lloyd. Vera remarked to Irene at the time. " See that man there, who I just spoke to ! well that is Tom Lloyd and he could very well have been your father. "

An Obit

To

VERA ALICE BUCKLEY

2nd. June 1923 to 15th. June 2000

A stubborn Woman, proud and Vain,
Who chose to suffer all alone;
And bear the rigours of the pain,
That racked her to the very bone;
Who did not want the World to see,
How age and labour takes its toll;
But strived to keep her dignity,
And hide her suffering from us all.

A dear friend, lost to all!, who knew,
And loved her, just the same;
The good strong will, and heart of gold,
Shall no longer feel the strain
Of the wear and tear, that seventy-seven,
Long years, does bring upon;
A grand old age, in all our eyes,
But now her time has come.

Her songs are sung, Her tales are told,
Her long day's work is done;
And now it's time to say 'Farewell',
To each and everyone;
Old age can't be avoided,
Since time will never cease;
So Goodbye! Mother, Sister, Gran.
And may you rest in peace.

Irene & Trevor Lawton. June 2000

A TRIBUTE to VERA ALICE BUCKLEY:

On behalf of, Doreen, Trevor, Irene, Roy, Barry and the family, may I welcome you and thank you all for being here. Your support at this time is very important.

You have come together as a group of people who all knew and cared about or loved Vera as a relative or friend. Your memories and feelings are unique and special to each of you, but what you all share is that you are here to say your goodbyes and to pay your respects to Vera and to celebrate her life.

Vera didn't believe much in organised religion, so to honour her wishes, the family has asked me, a celebrant with the British Humanist Association to officiate today.

Both the family and I acknowledge and respect that there are people here for whom belief in God is important, so there will be time for private thoughts and prayers later.

Vera was born on the 2nd. June 1923 in Mossley to Richard Kelly and Florence Jane Hooper, her mother Florence died of a Brain Tumour when Vera was only Seven Years old. Vera was one of six children, her elder brother Frank and sister Doris sadly died some time ago. Her other sisters Marjorie, Hilda and Kathleen, were all close to Vera and saw each other regularly.

It wasn't easy being seven years old without a mother. But Vera and her sisters all took care of each other, something that they continued to do throughout Vera's life. Vera went to the local school at Mossley Milton, where she excelled at cookery and winning prizes. Vera also enjoyed sports, particularly Swimming, Tennis and Netball.

When Vera left school, she got a job at the local Cotton Mill as a piecer. She was good at her job; she had nimble fingers, so she was a dab hand at tying the broken threads. Vera was strikingly attractive and it wasn't long before she met Luke. He used to deliver milk to Vera's house and he would leave her messages alongside the milk jug.

Vera was just eighteen when they got married at St. George's Church and they quickly settled down, first at Broadcarr Lane, then Tonge Bottom Farm, then ending up at Smithy Farm working hard to keep everything going. Doreen was born first, followed by Trevor, Irene, Roy and then Barry. Smithy Farm was a dairy and pig farm, so all the children had there own jobs to do to help out the family. Vera and Luke delivered milk in all weathers; seven-day's a week. It was hard work on the farm, demanding and relentless at times, but Vera loved the fresh air and the peace, beauty and wildness of the countryside.

Vera was a good mother! She had high moral standards and expected her children to be well behaved and sensible, and although she wasn't particularly demonstrative, she loved her children and was always there for them.

One of Vera's pleasures in life was getting dressed up and going out dancing. Luke was a good Ballroom dancer and this is an interest that the whole family shared. They would attend all the local Ball's and Dances. These were happy times leaving lasting memories.

When Vera's grandchildren came along, Andrew, Paul, Robert, Neil, Faye, Jason, Howard, Michael, and Tina, followed in later years by Vera's Great Grandchildren, Alexander Luke and Jack Geoffrey. Vera was so thrilled, she was proud of them all and enjoyed being with them. Vera had more time and patience with children, she loved to make them welcome and made a great 'Bacon Butty'.

Vera particularly enjoyed family get-togethers, especially at Christmas time, when she always prepared a superb Xmas dinner. All the family would get together, Doreen & Trevor, Roy & Gwyneth, Irene & Trevor, Barry & Julie, and Irene & Trevor. All the children would play around the farm, whilst Vera would nurse the new babies. These were happy times leaving great memories.

Luke died in 1988 and Vera continued to live and work on the farm, but at a much slower pace. She had more free time, so she went on some good holidays, going to visit Irene, Trevor and the children in Australia. Vera had already enjoyed a visit to them when they lived in New Zealand when Howard was born. Vera enjoyed her holiday's abroad, visiting Spain, Portugal, Tenerife, and many other places.

Vera's health started to deteriorate during the last few years, but Vera being Vera, resilient, strong, independent, proud and dignified, kept her worries to herself. She continued to have a great pride in her appearance, always having her hair done every Thursday in Mossley. She was quite beautiful even in old age.

Vera saw her sisters most weeks, as she was close to them and would confide in them to some extent, but she didn't want to be a burden and didn't want to worry the family, particularly her children. Vera had a heart of gold; She was kind and giving, but she found it hard to accept kindness back. Vera always wanted to be the giver, the reliable and dependable one.

Vera was a fighter! and wouldn't give in without a battle, even at the very end Vera tried to defy her illness and wouldn't acknowledge her pain. Vera died surrounded by a loving close family. She was able to say her goodbyes and this would have made her very contented.

As we come to the committal, please take this opportunity to reflect on Vera's life. To say 'Thank You' Vera, for just being you. Please use this time for private thought and prayers, whilst we play this piece of music especially chosen by the family.

(Curtains Close!) - Music Plays (Andrea Boccelli; "Time to say Goodbye")

As we bring the ceremony to a close it is important to remember that Vera had a good life enriched by a loving and caring family. So I would now like to ask Vera's daughter Irene to read a Poetic tribute written especially for Vera, by Irene and Trevor,

Just before we leave on behalf of the British Humanist Association I wish you all well. The family has asked me to let you know that everyone is welcome back at the Hare & Hounds Inn. Luzley; across from the farm, for refreshments.

So thank you everyone, and goodbye! Vera.
